We flew from Boston on a warm, sunny day. Icelandair is probably the way to go; we were treated well and had a plane with video display at each seat which offered a choice of TV stations, movies, music, in-flight information [such as a flight plan with maps which wasn't common in 2012], and tourist information about Iceland. Flight attendants handed out bottle of Icelandic water which comes from the many glaciers on the island.
I could see the Bay of Fundy and Nova Scotia after we left the Maine coast, but then it was cloudy most of the rest of the way. We arrived late, after 11 pm local time, but there was enough activity at the airport that it didn't seem deserted. And it was still light outside!
We heard from others that if you're flying to Europe from the U.S. via Icelandair, the airline will let you stop over in Iceland for as long as you want before you continue your trip. If you have this opportunity, take it!
