A team from WRAL News is headed to Iceland this week on Raleigh-Durham International Airport's first IcelandAir flight.
WRAL meteorologist Kat Campbell will be joined by a group of photographers and editors to give you a taste of Iceland, and hopefully inspire you to take a trip somewhere new!
Flights, direct to Reykjavik, generally cost less than $1,000 roundtrip, according to Google Flights, and take about nine hours to cover the 3,100 miles.
Travelers in the Triangle area will now be able to fly nonstop to Iceland, or use it as a midway point on their way to Europe. Flights will be available Thursdays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Our crew leaves Raleigh on Thursday. Over the next five days, we'll bring you daily reports online, on social media and on WRAL-TV.
