Why take a flight to Iceland?

Book flights to Iceland and marvel at its unparalleled natural wonders, including towering glaciers and volcanic hot springs. Thanks to direct flights to Iceland from UK airports, this Nordic country is ideal for a quick getaway: just a 3-hour flight away. With many low-cost airlines flying into the capital, Reykjavik, you can easily score cheap flights to Iceland.

In the summer you'll enjoy around 20 hours of daylight each day, while during the cooler months, Iceland turns into a cosy winter wonderland. The enchanting Northern Lights, Reykjavik's mythical Nordic charm and the stunning scenery of the Golden Circles are just some of what awaits when you fly to Iceland.


When to book flights to Iceland

Book flights to Iceland for travel between September and April if you want the best chances of catching the Northern Lights. The long nights during these months mean you'll have the best conditions to experience this natural wonder. The best time to fly to Iceland for whale watching is between June and July, although you can still see them in lesser numbers from April to May and August to September.

Iceland comes to life in the summer months with a vibrant events calendar. The Reykjavik Arts Festival takes place in May, while June's Secret Solstice music and culture festival enjoys 96 hours of continuous daylight. The summer is also best for enjoying the great outdoors and exploring the island's out-of-this-world landscapes. Fly to Iceland during these months and enjoy milder weather plus access to highland roads that are closed during the colder months. The country's famous Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is most accessible between May and October.


How to find cheap flights to Iceland

As a short-haul destination, you could score cheap Iceland flights from £78* by looking at low-cost airlines. Travelling with hand luggage only can help you save on your Iceland airfare, too. It's also best to book further in advance to land cheap tickets, but don't rule out a deal for last-minute flights to Iceland. Take advantage of Expedia's search wizard to home in on the best deals. It allows you to order search results by price and also set a maximum price, so you'll only see flights within your budget.

Another way to score cheap Iceland flights is to be flexible with your dates and, if possible, travel during the week instead of on weekends. As it's only a 3-hour flight, Iceland is a popular weekend getaway and this means flights are busier and more expensive then.

When you fly to Iceland, hit the open road and breathe in crisp, fresh air at the country's countless natural wonders. Embark on the famous Golden Circle tour, a scenic drive taking in the iconic landmarks of the Thingvellir National Park, the roaring Gullfoss Waterfall and the Geysir Hot Springs.

For a one-of-a-kind experience, plunge into the Blue Lagoon, a steaming volcanic spa. Set in a lava field, the warm, mineral-rich waters promise a rejuvenating experience with sweeping views of the rugged Icelandic landscape.

Whale watching is another must-do experience in Iceland. Hop on a boat from Reykjavik or Husavik and spot majestic humpbacks, minke whales and orcas in their natural habitat. Fly to Iceland from late September to early April and admire the mesmerising spectacle of the Northern Lights.

If you are driving, please keep in mind that off-road driving is not allowed in order to preserve the unique Icelandic landscape. While the Northern Lights are a major attraction, they can only be seen during the darker winter months.
