How about Chicago instead of Milwaukee? But I would rather fly into New York, as that is a popular city amongst Danes. Minneapolis will stay though
Neither Chicago or Milwaukee is served from KEF, however Minneapolis has a daily 753 in the summer from KEF on FI. ORD or MDW is obviously in a larger city, but MKE is closer to the existing Danish American population.
Well, there might be a reason Icelandair flies to Minnesota, it has the highest percent of Scandinavian-Americans in USA (32%). There are most Danes in California though (200 000), but Minnesota comes in third with ~80 000. Maybe I'll make the flight KEF-MSP-MKE-KEF, it doesn't add that much time. Otherwise I have ~48 hours left over in the flight schedule, who know, maybe KEF-MKE-SFO?
I hope the Danish diaspora are enough to fill a weekly 320 - to eastern Jutland (~250km from the capital)
I have feeling that a few of these will connectors through KEF-EBJ and onto Europe. For instance it's cheaper to fly from MSP via KEF to LHR/AMS/CDG most most of the time on FI than direct on Delta.
What do you mean by connect KEF-EBJ and onto Europe? This airline is mostly directed to Danes, but other people are welcome too
Esbjerg? The place stinks of fish! Wouldn't Billund be more reasonable? If you don't want Copenhagen Kastrup, you can always fly to Copenhagen Tune instead
I think he said on another topic that he is looking for a base at Esbjerg because there isn't a lot of traffic in and out already and he wants to build it into a thriving European hub.
I think Skagen is more stinky, VS!!!
Maybe there will be European flights from Herning, Thisted and Aalborg in the future, but nothing is sure yet. This airline is primarily aiming at the Jutlanders. And as Billund already has its share of traffic, I prefer Esbjerg. It is just 50km away, not the big deal!
