Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

Ultra low-cost carrier WOW Air is currently running a sale with dirt cheap fares from the US to Iceland, including summer travel dates. You can fly from Boston (BOS), Baltimore (BWI), Detroit (DTW), New York (JFK), Pittsburgh (PIT), Chicago (ORD), St. Louis (STL) and San Francisco to Reykjavik (KEF) for as little as $200 round-trip.

Remember that WOW is a budget carrier, so you’ll have to pay extra for checked bags and seat selection. But still, with prices for less than a transcontinental flight you’ll still have plenty of room to save. To save even more, check out our guide to booking hotels in Iceland with points.

Discounted tickets are available now through mid-June and then late August through October 2018. You can search for your itinerary with Google Flights and then complete the booking with the airline itself.
