Another birthday today, this time for Iceland Express, our favorite Icelandic airline. It's just turned five, and the carrier's got a special offer to entice people to Iceland to celebrate.
If you live in or are traveling through London, Copenhagen, Berlin, Barcelona or Alicante, you can get tickets to Reykjavik for just £53 (around $100). At Iceland Express, you can even book the kind of seat you want--window or aisle, for example--at the same time as you book your ticket.
We've been big fans of this airline ever since the How Do You Like Iceland? blog started giving tips on getting an Icelandic boyfriend. Right now they have a post about being an official Friend of Iceland, an honor so far bestowed upon Harrison Ford, Ryan Philippe and Damon Albarn.
What caught our attention is the fact that Robbie Williams is an Enemy of Iceland, after a scandalous visit when his bodyguards shoved Icelandic journalists and Robbie himself walked out of his own show after twenty minutes because a water bottle had landed on stage. So if you make it to Iceland on the cheap, don't expect to see Robbie there.
