This was the airline I used, and it was my first time flying with them. I loved it, the staff was nice and the food I ordered was good.
Icelandair
We got a truck with AWD in case we ran into rough terrain or a snowstorm. We were so glad we had it. The staff at the airport was very nice

Places I went
These were the stops we made as we traveled the diamond circle in Iceland.
We wanted to do something calming after our flight and this was perfect! We got the 3 mask package. The smell of sulfur is strong here
Blue Lagoon Iceland
The first thing we did was travel the golden circle and this was the first stop
Thingvellir National Park
We didn't get a chance to enjoy the spa due to renovations but we did make lava bread. So tasty and a cool learning experience
Laugarvatn Fontana
Great place to eat, everything is made from the tomatoes they grow
Friðheimar
This looks like a great place to stay but we went here to eat and I had an amazing lamb dish
Midgard Base Camp
This is a beautiful site, I can't wait to go back and see it when the area is green
