SNEAK PEAK?
Although my new travel blog is not up and running in full force, I couldn't resist sharing this little gem with everyone. For anyone who saw the Iceland travel photos below (I have more on their way) and thought for a moment about visiting, here's your chance.
Wishes Come True....
The American dollar has crashed and burned in recent years, but it is nothing compared to the meltdown that Iceland, the up-and-coming tourist hotspot, is facing. Saying that Iceland has been an expensive place for Americans to visit was the understatement of the century, but now, in lieu of the world's financial crisis, the island is the first ever to have to declare bankruptcy. The Icelandic Krona has dropped dramatically, losing almost half it's value, and that should have the average pauper traveler jumping at this opportunity.
Icelandair was quick to formulate a plan to save the tourism industery, and what they came up with is round-trip winter flights starting at $400 round-trip. You would be hard pressed to find a flight across the continental US for that cheap. Plus, you don't have to worry about all those bullshit fees that American carriers have implemented. (like $25 each way to check you first bag, or $3 for water, $7 for a blanket). With Icelandair, you can check two bags free of charge. (sometimes three if you ask them nicely). Plus, keep in mind that when you get there, you won't just be saving on the flight, everything will be more affordable then ever.
This Deal is valid from NYC, or Boston, and must be booked by October 21, 2008. (although, I can't make any promises but, 9 times ofut of ten Icelandair will extend the dates for their book by period, but don't quote me on that).
Travel Dates: From November 1, 2008-March 31st, 2009.
My advice: If you are still up in the air about going, I wouldn't be surprised to see those fares drop down into the $300 range. But that's the risk you take if you wait. I'll update this page if I see them drop.
