Icelandair has one of the more interesting business models out there, as they offer flights to 16 cities in North America, and over 20 cities in Europe. The idea is that Iceland is a connecting point for travel between the US and Europe, and they intentionally schedule really short layovers so that you can minimize…

So how has the "Battle for Seattle" progressed over the course of these past few months? I don't think I'm hearing a lot about it in the media anymore, but I doubt that SeaTac's being given up on by one airline just yet.
I think Saga Class gives you 250%: 'actual flight miles plus 150%'. That's a nice bonus.
Ben, why we never saw the trip report from your experience with iceland air a while ago?
I was really into that. Same as TAP Portugal. What happen with that?
Looks like the "150% bonus" was a typo... it's been corrected to "50% bonus" on Alaska's site.
Too bad -- have a trip to London coming up next month and was way too excited as it would have pushed me over the 75k tier threshold. Guess it was too good to be true!
I have 9000 Saga points that expire in December. I have no use for them before they expire but does this now mean I can transfer them to Alaska?
@Sunny morris No, you can't transfer miles. Your best bet for them is to use them for inflight duty free shopping/inflight food and drinks. Otherwise you can transfer them to some other airlines/Amtrak through points.com. I ended up doing the later since I was sure I'd wouldn't be on another Icelandair flight before they expired. I wish I had kept them for inflight purchases now because the transfer rate on points.com is pretty poor. 9000 Saga miles transferred to Amtrak would be worth about $78 which isn't bad if they're just going to expire anyway.
Just booked KEF-EWR on Icelandair for travel on November 27 via Priceline. Can I retroactively have the miles credited and still be eligible for the double miles offer?
Alaska website no longer lists P class in the earnings table. Does this mean that no miles are earned for flights booked in P class?
