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.

There's nothing like some last-minute travel to add some spice to your life. If you agree, don't hesitate to book these cheap flights to Reykjavik (KEF). We found a nonstop option from San Francisco (SFO) departing as soon as the June 24 (this Saturday) priced at just $260 round-trip. If you prefer a bigger planning window there are still plenty of low-cost options departing from other US cities including Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA) and Baltimore (BWI).
