Icelandair now connects Berlin Tegel to Reykjavik in Iceland<br />
three times a week. The airline will fly to the world’s northernmost<br />
capital every Monday, Friday and Sunday.<br />
Birkir Holm Gudnason, CEO of Icelandair: “we celebrate the<br />
opening of our new service from Berlin, one of the great cities<br />
of Europe,” says Birkir Holm Gudnason, Icelandair CEO “Berlin<br />
is a welcome destination for our Icelandic and North American<br />
travellers wanting to explore and enjoy this historic city. The<br />
new route will enable German travellers to have more choice in<br />
discovering Iceland and will offer them a smooth alternative for<br />
travel onwards to over 20 North American destinations with of<br />
course an option of a stopover in Iceland for up to 7 nights for no<br />
additional airfare.”<br />
Elmar Kleinert, COO of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH:<br />
“With Icelandair we welcome a new airline at Berlin Tegel. The<br />
new route is of course not only attractive to nature-lovers and<br />
Iceland-holidaymakers. Reykjavik is the perfect stopover location<br />
for travellers to and from North America and enriches our flight<br />
itinerary. We wish Icelandair much prosperity and a successful<br />
development in Berlin.”<br />
The flight time to Reykjavik is about three and a half hours. All<br />
routes are operated by Boeing 757 aircraft.<br />
Whether it is volcanoes, mountains, glaciers or the famous<br />
geysers – Iceland’s natural landscape leaves nothing to be desired.<br />
Breathtaking sunsets make the ice shine red in the winter months<br />
and make for unforgettable moments. If you are lucky, on clear<br />
winter nights you can see flickering green stripes in the sky,<br />
the so-called Northern Lights, which bathe the landscape in a<br />
magical light.<br />
A good starting point for exploring the island is its capital,<br />
Reykjavik. The gateway to Iceland combines tradition and<br />
modernity. The cosmopolitan metropolis offers visitors numerous<br />
activities, excursions and a vibrant nightlife. The capital city has<br />
also many modern hotels to choose from; click to book a room in<br />
