If you have $399, you can dance the night away (for two nights) in Reykjavik, Iceland, airfare included
Various swingers I know will argue that the world's hottest nighttime dance scene is in Reykjavik, Iceland. From all over the world they come to witness the frenzy, and the prospects for enticing more have led Icelandair to create a blockbuster air-and-land package for music-mad, dance-hungry travelers. For departures in November, Icelandair will fly you round-trip to Iceland from either New York, Baltimore or Boston, and throw in two nights in a double room at a hotel in Reykjavik for free (including a Scandinavian buffet breakfast daily except on the arrival day), as well as round-trip airport/hotel transfers, for the astonishing total sum of $399.
Once in Reykjavik, the people I've been describing show up at the clubs after dinner and dance late into the night. Most of the clubs are at their peak of activity on the weekends, of course, when some stay active till 5 a.m.
The fine print: That $399 tab is for Monday-through-Thursday departures only, and goes up by $25 more each way for flights Friday-through-Sunday. Departures are also available from Orlando or Minneapolis for $60 more. The price is valid for new purchases only and is exclusive of taxes and government fees of approximately $100-$180 per person. But, hey, how often does such a cheap opportunity crop up? Go to www.icelandair.com and click on the box headed "2 Nights Free," or phone tel. 800/779-2899.
