Summary
Two extra Delta flights from New York-JFK to Reykjavik on Aug. 8 and 9 will add capacity ahead of the Aug. 12, 2026 total solar eclipse, which will cross Iceland and Spain.
Iceland is a prime viewing market because the eclipse’s maximum point will occur just off its west coast, with totality crossing the western part of the country near Reykjavik and other accessible sites.
Delta is also steering travelers to Spain through its existing network—daily nonstop service from JFK, Atlanta and Boston to Madrid and Barcelona, plus daily JFK flights to Lisbon and Porto.
Spain’s late-afternoon eclipse is expected to create a 'double sunset' effect, with northern Galicia among the strongest viewing areas and Portugal serving as a gateway for parts of the path.
