4 ways to book Icelandair flights with points and miles

To summarize the key points about redeeming points and miles for Icelandair flights:

1. Icelandair’s Lack of Major Alliance Membership:

   • Since Icelandair is not part of a major airline alliance like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, you have limited options for direct redemption through these alliances.

2. Direct Redemption Options:

   • Safest and Best Option: Use points from the loyalty programs of airlines that are partners with Icelandair.
     • Atmos Rewards Points (Alaska Airlines): You can redeem Atmos Rewards points for flights on partner airlines, including Icelandair.
     • JetBlue TrueBlue Points: JetBlue also allows you to book flights on partner airlines like Icelandair using their loyalty program.

3. Credit Card Travel Portals:

   • Most major credit card travel portals allow booking of Icelandair flights but typically offer a lower redemption rate (1 cent per point or mile).
   • However, if the flight is eligible for Chase Points Boost, you can get up to 2 cents per point with the Chase Sapphire Reserve®.

4. Alternative Redemption Strategies:

   • Use Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card or Capital One Venture Rewards Credit
