Southwest Airlines has partnered with Icelandair, allowing passengers to book flights that include a stopover in Reykjavik for up to a week. This initiative caters to travelers looking to explore layover cities for a mini-vacation while enhancing revenue for both airlines. The new interline agreement enables seamless travel without luggage re-checks. While Southwest intends to sell Icelandair seats by 2026, the first shared US gateway is set to open in Baltimore. This trend reflects a rising demand for stopover itineraries, benefiting both airlines and adventurous travelers alike.
