This Unsuspecting U.S. City Now Has Direct Flights To Iceland

If there’s one destination at the top of everyone’s travel bucket list, it’s Iceland. With its glaciers, epic waterfalls, and the allure of the Northern Lights, the appeal of this Nordic island is obvious. Thanks to an expanded tourism initiative and added airlines, flying to Iceland has never been so easy. In fact, a new direct flight is now available from a rather unsuspecting U.S. location: Kansas City. So next time you’re in the heart of America, you may just find yourself tempted to hop a plane to the Land of Fire and Ice.

Residents and visitors of Kansas City are just a flight away from the marvels of one of the most sought-after countries for travelers.

Beginning in May, Icelandair will begin to offer a seasonal service from Kansas City International Airport to Reykjavik.

These nonstop flights will be offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays of each week.

It's the first time in history that this exquisite country has been accessible to the heart of America, and it's nothing short of thrilling.

Not only does this direct flight indicate increased tourism, it could also pave the way for additional trade and business opportunities between the U.S. and Europe.
