Icelandair moots nonstop flight from Reykjavík to San Francisco in June

Flight 642 will begin seasonal service on May 28, 2018 with four non-stop flights a week to Iceland on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and easy connections to and from more than 25 destinations in Europe.

The Icelandair service to the heartland of the U.S. sees flights operating three times a week to Kansas City International Airport in Missouri, commencing May 25, operated via a Boeing 757 with a three-class configuration.

CEO Björgólfur Jóhannsson said: "The time is right for Icelandair to return to Baltimore and San Francisco".

Both San Francisco and Baltimore will be operated by a three-class configuration including Economy, Economy Comfort and Business Class with the former with a Boeing 767 and the latter with a Boeing 757.

What better excuse for a layover than seeing glaciers and soaking in hot springs?

United Kingdom passengers can stopover in Reykjavik for up to seven nights at no additional airfare.

"We have a shared passion for making air travel environmentally sustainable, having each set aggressive goals for reduced greenhouse gas emissions and carbon neutrality. Travellers in San Francisco can soon enjoy a great new way to get to Iceland and beyond".

San Francisco is known as the Golden City with its iconic Golden Gate Bridge and Golden State Park.

Icelandair has been in operation since 1937.

"Today our network is bigger and stronger than ever, and we offer our passengers more flights, more connections, and a refreshing alternative to Iceland and beyond".
