Alternative to Zoom, airtransat, etc....
Just thought I'd let you know about some reasonable flights I've found.
I'm heading back to the UK in May for a friend's wedding and all the companies I normally book with wanted over $800 for the return flights.
I've just looked up flights with IcelandAir and I can get the return for $700 and stop off in Iceland for 2 days on the way back.
Admittedly, may not be everyone's cup of tea but I'd rather spend the $100 on 2 days of sight seeing.

Hi there
Have you checked the flight durations we were going to use Icelandair a while ago and the flight durations were almost double the normal direct routes. It wasnt feasible for us travelling with young'uns.
Also worth bearing in mind that Iceland is a quite an expensive place to spend a couple of days. Although it is worth it from what I have been told.
cheers

I'll have to look into the expense thing, perhaps my $100 won't get me far.

I know a few people who have gone there for holidays or a quick weekend away and they say it is fantastic and beautiful but they did say it was expensive to eat and drink. I am in Edinburgh which is not a cheap place either so make of that what you will.
Like everywhere I am sure that with a little research there are ways to fit your needs to your budget.
Enjoy and let us know how it goes I have always fancied Iceland but never really had an opportunity or excuse to get there.
