The Icelandair deal that allows you to visit both London and Reykjavik is back. Icelandair has a ~$450 fare to London that allows for a free stopover in Iceland. You can go to London with or without the stopover.

Unlike other low cost carriers (Norwegian, WOW etc), Icelandair allows for 2 free checked bag. That is a large saving compared to Norwegian or WOW whose baggage fees are over $150 roundtrip.
