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 Platinum Card® from American Express, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through the 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.

Business class fares from multiple cities across the United States to Iceland have dropped to just $743 round-trip this fall. Icelandair is offering round-trip tickets in Saga Class, the airline's business class, for less than $800. These fares are available through the fall and into the winter. Though chilly in the winter, Iceland boasts impressive views of the Aurora Borealis, as known as the northern lights.

Saga Class does not feature lie-flat seats, though Icelandair's business class product does feature reclining seats in a 2-2 configuration, power outlets, premium onboard food and drink, and access to Icelandair's Saga Lounge in Reykjavik. These business class fares are available in September through March 2020 on a variety of dates including some weekends.
