What's the shortest and/or least bumpiest route from midwest US to Gothenburg? I want to go there this summer to see a friend, and I thought Icelandair avoided the worst weather, but I don't know and I worry they don't have the newest planes either. I've only flown from JFK to Oslo which was smooth over the ocean, but I'm afraid it won't turn out that way again and I'm terrified of turbulence/flying in general.

Icelandair has very new planes.

Not only that, they are unique in that their planes are retrofitted with extreme weather mods that make them even safer. They are an airline of engineering employees, and lease their planes (with their crew and top notch maintenance) to other airlines, such as to silberia, in the coldest extreme conditions in the world. They're pretty comfy, and the water is delicious.
If you are smart, you'll look to layover for free at Keflavik and use the time to do a dip in the Blue Lagoon to cure your jet lag. Usually the savings that icelandair offers pays for the spa visit, so do it!

Thank you anon, I didn't know about the weather mods. Bad reviews led me to believe it wasn't like that.
Does anyone else know how it is for say, an 8 hour flight?
