ICELAND IS A BARGAIN THESE DAYS
The devaluation of the Icelandic krona (ISK) is good news for US travelers, if they have Iceland on their list of places to visit and if they can travel next month.
Visitors from the US to Iceland can enjoy the best exchange rate in recent memory, the Icelandic Tourist Board (ITB) has said. “For a time in 2007, one dollar netted just 58 Icelandic krona (ISK). As of early this month, one dollar grew to equal 105 krona. More krona - nearly twice the spending power of a year ago - equals lower prices.” According to the ITB, Icelandair just slashed fares to Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, from New York or Boston to $400 round trip, about what a one-way fare once cost. This fare is good for travel November 1 through March 31, 2009. By Nelson Alcantara, OCT 15, 2008
