Route notes
Why this routing works
This routing starts and ends in Charlotte, using Newark and Charleston as shorter domestic stops before the longer final leg out to Reykjavik. With 3 nights in Newark, 4 in Charleston, and 5 in Reykjavik, the timing gives each stop a defined place in a compact two-week plan.
Because every sector is flown, the itinerary keeps the sequencing straightforward with no surface gaps or open-jaw transfers to manage. That makes it easier to ticket as a single multi-stop journey while spreading the travel across several shorter hops before the return to Charlotte.
December timing puts the trip into a tighter winter window, so the route is paced with brief US stopovers followed by the longest stay at the international stop. In economy, that structure balances connection complexity with a clear out-and-back flow anchored by Charlotte.
