Icelandair launches the first part of its 2013 ad campaign in U.S. cities

Icelandair is seeing some love from D.C. residents after launching its 2013 marketing campaign in the city.

The airline’s first quarter advertising campaign is currently running in Seattle, Denver, Boston, New York, Toronto and Washington, D.C.

The campaign includes digital ads, billboard spots, and the below video ad that highlights the opportunity for U.S. passengers to take an extended stopover in Iceland on transatlantic flights at no additional cost.

In response to a query from Skift, a spokesman for the airline said they did not share information about current or upcoming marketing campaigns.

Here’s what two capital residents tweeted about the ads placed inside the Metro:
