Icelandair

[Diesel8]

just wondering if any of the high north flying aviators from Icelandair where here. Had a couple of questions if so.

Thanks,

Really, no one from Iceland reads these pages?

Used to spend lots of time there if I can help?

They have the most gorgeous hosties I've ever seen.

was trying to set up reciprocal jumpseats with them!

[Commander]

Yes diesel8 - I'm from Iceland, and I know the guys are here. But the jumpseat issue is I think unheard of, sorry.

[Diesel8]

Commander,

Well, one has to start somewhere, besides I love banging my head against a wall.

As mentioned, was trying to get a feeling for reciprocal jumpseats with a US carrier. Would imagine that the pilots do visit the US on vacations and this might be a mutually good deal.

Might you have an idea of who the responsible person would be, if so I would be most appreciative.

Sincerely,

D8

If can get a standby ticket, the Icelandair guys are usually very helpful in my experience. One my regular travels up there, i've been in the flight deck many times.

Icelandair desk staff at LHR were excellent at least in 1996.

Bought a SBY ticket over the counter (taxes only) simply by showing my company ID, with the flight departing in 40 minutes!

They are practical people!

Thanks 320Driver,

At least now I am getting somewhere!!!

I remember back in '96, they had a great station manager @ LHR, unfortunately thats changed, you will have to go through the London office these days

Nice inflight meals too - as long as you like fish!

A beautiful place, and great people.
