These are the only flight cancelations between Iceland and North America so far, but Icelandair sent an announcement earlier today saying:
“Due to hurricane Sandy in USA, we are expecting some Icelandair flights to be disrupted. Please check flight status for the latest information on your flight before you travel to the airport.”
