Expert flyer had earlier on added the functionality of searching the business class award of Korean Air on its network. This turned out to be extremely useful and successful considering that travelers had a difficult time contacting Delta to check out the availability of the award if they wanted to redeem the SkyMiles while traveling on Korean Air.

With the addition of business class award availability for Icelandair and Iberia, Expert Flyer is taking one mile at a time step.
?
Previously to search for the Iberia award space one had to visit Qantas Airways website or the British Airway website, both of which are slightly klutzy and not especially accurate when it came to information. OneWorld award space does have a tutorial on how to search on these two websites.
?
Compared to these, Expert Flyer provides a much easier option of searching for the award availability. At a time you can search for one whole week?s award availability on any route you travel. It really is great fun to use this new functionality of Expert Flyer.

So there you have 9 seats under the business class award

With the fuel surcharges on British Airways becoming heftier than ever, the business class awards turn out to be a great alternative if one would like to use American AAdvantage miles while traveling transatlantic routes.
?
Searching function for business class award of Icelandair is also there though this isn?t quite as useful as one would like it to be. One reason for this is the limited airline partners hooked up for this award. One way you could redeem the miles to travel on Icelandair would be the Mileage Plan program for Alaska and the award rates available for redemption are pretty good too.

Traveling in business class from US to Europe via Iceland by redeeming 80,000 miles is something you definitely cannot resist.
?
The other negative aspect is the seat pitch of the business class seat in Icelandair. The business class seat on Icelandair definitely does not meet the international level and is in fact is more like the first class seat in a domestic airliner. It has only 397 pitch between the seats (the domestic first class seat pitch is slight lesser than this). The award availability on business class however is excellent and the chance to visit Europe and Iceland on the same award is definitely irresistible

There is more to Expert Flyer than just award searching functionality, it allows you to set alerts for availability. Thus anytime you visit the Expert Flyer and don?t find an Icelandair or Iberia award available on the flights you need, just put up an alert there and Expert Flyer will send you an email when the space becomes available.
This done, your availability alert is set up and this is just one more reason why you should be setting up your account on Expert Flyer right away.
