With the collaboration, the airlines’ let travelers go from Iceland to Rome, and then connect to historic cities like Bologna, Naples, Venice, and Florence. That allows customers of either airline to travel on a single ticket, instead of multiple bookings. The airlines will continue to expand their collaboration by codesharing other destinations, like Icelandair’s daily flights to Rome and Milan during the summer. Icelandair has also increased its winter flights to Rome to four times weekly, helping expand the partnership even more.
