Went first week of October last year. Being the shoulder season, not too many tourists. Quite a few places we went earlier in morning or in evening that had little to no other people there.

Stayed at a place in the middle of the 'golden circle' that was about ~$180 a night.

Enough daylight to see a good amount of sights in a day, but the daylight hours quickly drop off later into October and winter.

Weather is a gamble and wind is constant (easily 70+ mph gusts at Reynisfjara Beach). But when it was clear, it was nice when properly layered. Just be sure to pack a waterproof exterior layer as well (head to toe).

Seems decently priced, but flying economy for that long...

It's only about 5-6 hours from the northeast or Midwest, around 2-3 hours shorter than a typical Europe flight. Less than Hawaii by a long shot, esp since it's nonstop.

I'll copy my own comment from the New York deal a couple days ago: Not smoking, but decent.

Also $427 nonstop from Nashville (BNA) around the same timeframe -- that's one of their newer hubs. I suspect some of the others are in the same range (MSP, BOS, etc; as this update confirms!)

Unless you're super into geology and outdoors/glaciers, personally I'd pass on Iceland as a destination and maybe just use it as a free 1-2 day stopover en route to Europe. Hit Reykjavik and the Golden Circle for the quick overview. It's very expensive and unless you rent a car and spend 2 weeks there, it's tricky to get around. I still have a few friends from there, but all are expats now due to job reasons.

Good deal - RDU-KEF is turning out to be a lot more expensive (over $500), but I think that is due to capacity. Note that this is (at least from Raleigh) on a narrow body plane (737) - this will be a long flight. I agree with using it as a stop over. Note that a lot of destinations only get service infrequently (not daily) - so that there may not be as many options to travel the day you want (our non-stop in Raleigh is daily only during the summer - then cuts back to 3-5x per week in the winter).

I am in SFO - will it work for me?
Also I want to go to UK as well.

How can I make it to happen?

given that the link just takes you to booking.com, this seems like a spam post.
