AVIATION US FLIGHTS DESTINATIONS


“We’re working closely with agents, from large consolidators to premium leisure and specialist partners, so our unmatched fares on state-of-the-art aircraft are promoted to their clients and the wider trade.”


w JOIN THE DOTS There’s no doubt direct flights are a huge selling point for transatlantic travel – but stopovers can appeal too by cutting down on customs queues and adding an interesting city to visit at little or no extra cost. Thorsteinn Gudjonsson,


Icelandair’s general manager for western Europe, added: “Our Icelandair stopovers are proving very popular as more and more of our passengers are choosing to take advantage.” Icelandair flies to the US from


seven UK airports via Reykjavik. Tampa and Philadelphia were added in 2017; Cleveland and


Dallas start in 2018. Transatlantic passengers can stay in Iceland for up to seven nights for no additional airfare – in fact, they save about £55 on APD if they stop on their outbound journey. Wow Air also starts daily flights from Stansted to Reykjavik on April 25, 2018, with one-way fares from £30. Its new US destinations from May 2018 will be Cleveland, Detroit, St Louis, Cincinnati and Dallas. Passengers flying through Dublin also benefit from being able to pre-clear US customs and immigration in the Irish capital, so they can enter through the domestic channels when they land in the US, reducing the chance of long queues on arrival. Aer Lingus began Ireland’s


first direct service to Miami in September, with connections from 18 UK airports. Fares to Miami from the UK start from £199 each way.
