Connecting routes may still be useful when:
Iceland is generally 6 hours ahead of Denver during Denver’s standard-time period and 7 hours ahead during Denver’s daylight-saving period.

The time difference is manageable compared with many long-haul destinations, but travelers may still need some time to adjust after arrival.
