Their booking form is wank.
It allows dates to be selected but when searched 'Fully Booked' is returned.
So one would be click click click click..... Pot-Luck.

A bit like the whank system some/all ferry companies use.


But looks 'cheap' if booked now for a trip in May 16. (flight from LGW-YYZ via Iceland.)
I hope it's not a wee plane and they only have fuel to fly half way across the Pond. Smile £295 seems OK if you are not fazed by a possible de-plane frigmarole half way.

Landing in Iceland is probably in order to comply with 'Hub' rules or something. To prevent over-competion.

Airlines are cnuts for that racketeering shit.

So they must operate a Price Freeze.

Yeah I guess it might not be the most comfortable way to cross, in Icelandic ryanair....

Also regarding USA entry, I gather if arriving by air you need to have a return ticket out of the country already booked. If said ticket is in 2 months time, they will also ask you to prove funds to support yourself in that time etc etc.

If you get say return flight for 2 weeks, for ease of getting past customs, but then change it and leave later, is there any problem as long as you do leave within the 90 day limit?

Try Inshalla Comedy Airlines of Libya.

On a flight from Tripoli to an Remote location in the desert our pilot had a go at landing a 737 on the landing strip.
All seemed fine on the approach and I could see the lines at the side of the runway as he prepared to flare.

Then all of a sudden the engines were pinned to max and we were climbing up again.
We circled and landed about ten minutes later without any explanation.
The bears we were swapping with on the ground told us the plane came down with the wheels up the first time. Shocked

One morning they landed a plane on the same strip so hard that the oxygen masks dropped down. Rolling Eyes

Funnily enough there was plenty warning of their flying ability as they had full aeroplane buried in the sand at the end of the airstrip. Only it's arse was visible. I think it was just a bit of brake fade, completely normal.

Pretty sure my sister used these successfully when visiting her inlaws in Orlando. Told us all about how they could stay in Iceland for up to two weeks before getting the connecting flight, then ended up getting the next one available and never leaving the airport Confused
