When you find the cheapest flights to Europe from Boston, you will find them on
Icelandair. You will be given an offer you cannot refuse: 6 hours to 6 days layover in Iceland for no extra charge. We took two days to see the land of ice, and wish we had taken more.

 |
| .... and masters it quickly |
 |

 |
| Chesterton chillaxes with a cold drink in a warm bath, while exfoliating the past year away |
 |
| Jasper extremely proud of his blue crushed ice beverage, and facial mask |
 |

 |
| A great advertisement (for a sporting goods store in Iceland) seen at the airport. Amen to that! |

| Icelandair is everything and more we hoped for -- wonderful service, flight, and treatment of our kids |
