Top tips for finding cheap flights to Iceland

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Iceland flight deals.
  • When searching to find cheap flights to Iceland, keep in mind that this is a popular ski and snowboard destination and that it is possible for you to carry your own sporting equipment on popular airlines like RyanAir, EasyJet and more. Taking your own ski equipment can help you save on hire costs.
  • If you have booked a visit to the famous Blue Lagoon in Iceland, you would be wise to fly into the main Keflavik Airport (KEF). This airport is only about 20min from the lagoon, and you can easily drive yourself there.
  • If you want to find cheap flights to Iceland and are travelling further afield to Sorvagur on the Faroe Islands, then it would be wise to fly into Sorvagur Vagar Airport (FAE). This is the only airport on the island and is about a 2min drive from the main village, ensuring an easy journey.
  • Almost all international flights to Iceland arrive at Keflavik Airport (KEF), Iceland’s largest international airport. Three other smaller airports – Egilsstadir (EGS), Akureyri (AEY) and Reykjavik (RKV) – service some international flights too.
  • Both Keflavik and Reykjavik airports serve the Reykjavik region. Keflavik is about 50min away by car from the city centre of Reykjavik, while Reykjavik airport is in Vatnsmyri, which is nearer to Reykjavik city centre. Keflavik airport is a major hub in the North Atlantic and receives flights from all over the world, including budget carriers such as easyJet. Reykjavik airport does not receive any direct flights from the United Kingdom, however it may be useful for travelling to other parts of the island.
  • Akureyri airport is in North Iceland and is a fantastic entry point to the Artic North. Akureyri airport also offers flights to other parts of Iceland, such as Reykjavik, Grimsey Island, Thorshofn and Vopnafjordur. You are unlikely to find direct flights here from the United Kingdom, so expect a stopover in Reykjavik.
  • Egilsstadir airport acts as an alternative airport for Keflavik airport. It is in the Egilsstaðanes peninsula on the banks of Lagarfljot lake, between the town of Fellabaer and Egilsstadir. Flying to this airport puts you in the centre of East Iceland, and the airport is only approx. 1-1.5h drive from major towns and cities.
  • As a British citizen, you do not need a visa for short stays in Iceland. Your passport just needs to be valid for your entire stay in the country. It may be worthwhile checking the government website for up-to-date information on travel to Iceland and within the Schengen zone.
  • Iceland is mainly a cashless society and debit and credit cards are used widely. You can also withdraw Icelandic Kronur through banks and ATMs if you want to avoid foreign currency charges on your bank card.

Airline reviews

The flight was on time and the crew was nice. I did not like the fact that my husband and I were seated in different rows. I feel pressured by airlines to pay more to choose our seats. We will sit anywhere, but we shouldn't have to pay to sit together. I also think they should serve at least a snack that's free.

Everything was great! My only critique is 25 euro for wifi is wild, but I get it

Easy check in and boarding. Staff pleasant and helpful. Will continue to fly with Iceland air. Aircraft clean

Well! They got me as far as Iceland, let me wait around at the airport since my next flight had either left or canceled, finally gave me my luggage, and sent me to wait quite some time with seven other people for a ride to a hotel. At the hotel we got a chef's salad, a nice room for the night which unfortunately had feather pillows and duvet (allergies), a really great and spectacular buffet for breakfast (small but stunning), taxis back to the airport for the 9:30 Delta flight back to Minneapolis. The Delta flight has free food and liquor included which Icelandair does not. All in all, it falls far short of my worst ever United flight to SGN. Icelandair did change my reservation after my roommate tested positive for COVID and we canceled our plans to travel around Iceland, but the charges were fairly hefty. I had trouble contact Kayak's agents to discuss changing my reservations and finally contacted Icelandair who changed them. (I used their contact form and put in several requests for call backs.) Of course, they called just after I made the change with Icelandair.

never seen an international flight , over 5 hours that had no food provided. we flew from iceland to vancouver, no food, no even a snack. For entertainment you had to buy the headphones which are normally also provided for free on any other airlines.

Did not like last minute change to our itinerary that made us spend the night in the airport

did internet check in but still had to get checked in at the counter and this was not the first time. Bummer!

The seats are very close to one another and it is a bit uncomfortable, especially since I was in a middle seat.

7 hours 15 min flight from SEA to Iceland with no inflight entertainment and no power to charge your own devices, also no meal service, not even any snacks/cookies. You have to buy food and the options are extremely limited (i.e. ham and cheese sandwich and spicy cup noodles). I didn't think Iceland air was a budget airline, maybe I was wrong, the cost of the ticket didn't feel like it though.

The cabin was first too hot and then too cold. The AC was central, so there was no way to adjust it. The entertainment was really mediocre. But the crew and flight attendants were great.

Play is affordable! Only way we fly from the states to Europe. Left late but arrived on time

have screens on backs of chairs...offer free snacks and water

Boarding and crew was great. Flight was cold, need layers. Deplaning was hard. We had to take stairs off the plane and I was separated from my travel companion because we were not seated together and they would not let him wait for me to get off so we were forced onto different shuttles.

Check in and boarding was easy, crew was cheerful. Not much to read or do on the plane and our neighboring passengers were talking loudly so we could not sleep. But overall good. Great coffee.

Flyplay is the only way I travel to Europe. Had a 15 hr layover in Iceland. Normally this would suck, but I regret a car and saw the black sand beaches, several waterfalls and sky lagoon. And finished with lamb at cafe Loki.

did not get the seats we had specially paid for

This is a no frills airline. You cant expect much for the price. Low cost flight, clean, nice staff. That's all I need for the price. If you want more, book with another airline and pay more. For Europe trips, PLAY is the ONLY airline I use

Misleading instructions for check in. Although I did virtual check in and was instructed to head to security, once I was at security, they told me to go back to Play ticket counter and get paper tickets. Also, beware that Play doesn’t participate in TSA PreCheck. I didn’t know that, despite entering PreCheck info when I purchased the tickets. I wasted time in the TSA PreCheck line as well. So we had two setbacks at check in.

It's a budget airline, so forewarned is forearmed. Yes, you pay for everything like carry-on, checked baggage, seat selection, but that's becoming the case with major airlines. Bringing your own snacks and entertainment on board is highly recommended. It's no frills, but the crew, the plane and the flight itself was great. If you want pampering go for a larger airline. If you just want to get from A to B in comfort and safety, Play is a great choice.

It is a low cost airline. Staff are courteous. There is no entertainment. Food is purchased.

I was hesitant to book with a low cost airline due to previous experience but Easy Jet surpassed my expectations. I would definitely book a flight with them again! Seemless booking, upfront about baggage fees, professional, and helpful staff.

Kayak sent several notifications that the flight was late. This contradicted the information on the airport boards. This was extremely confusing and we very nearly missed the flight purely because we double checked with the info desk when the flight stays said’closed’. Kayak notifications are therefore unreliable and pointlesa

Usual issues with flight delay. Perennial problem of travel by plane.

i didnt go this was a hacker booked this flight on my debit card !

Delayed almost 2 hours sitting on plane. No updates at all from flight deck and virtually no updates from cabin crew

Long delay resulted in my being unable to catch a train home and resulted in an additional £76 cost for an Uber

Be sure to check bags for 23 kg,.(50 lbs) Coming from US I chose the wrong size luggage weight when I checked in on my phone, and had to pay more when I dropped it off

All around poor experience. Barely got on flight because it was ostensibly overbooked. Forced into checking a carryon bag with empty overhead compartments. Nickeled and dimed. Charged for coffee. Despicable.

The on board air steward really made the journey. He was very entertaining

I was disappointed there was a 40 minute delay to flight

The plane was clean. The crew were lovely. Food was good - but seat 1D is a poor location. - the crews cupboard is right near your feet and they visited them frequently swishing the curtain from the galley onto my feet everytime also creating a swish of cold air each time & then slamming the door.

Lost bag and absolutely no assistance in the short term. No-one to help either via phone or at the airport APPAULING

Business class to Istanbul. Packed flight. Cabin crew seemed incapable of differentiating between economy and business passengers with regard to access to the WC which meant whole flight I had people standing in aisle and leaning into my aisle seat, queueing for the front WC. Crew put it down to a lack of curtain between the two classes. The seats, for a 3hrs55 min flight were just standard seats with middle seat unoccupied. So nothing special apart from the food, which was mediocre. Aside from the roast chicken dinner (‘special’ traditional British menu option, which looked poor but tasted good I gather). However 2 king prawns does not make a main course salad.

Cabin crew were not nice. The plane was an hour late arriving.

Flight was on time. Boarding process was tedious. Not much overhead cabin space. Seats very close (front to back). Uneventful trip just the same.

Great staff, very personable, attentive. We had a spare seat next to us so that helped

Horrible food and uncomfortable plane. One toilet was out of service.

Once again I purchase a business class ticket and the seat is exactly the same as cattle class, the only difference being is that BA install a janky table over the middle seat so there is somewhere to place your complimentary drink, the tray table is just big enough for the small tray, so if you are not concerned about getting fed and watered on the plane or getting access to the BA lounge I would save your money and fly cattle, PS the cabin crew were exceptional in every way, shame about the equipment

I just have to say everything was ok, nothing special, and business class is not as good as it used to be, business class sets are the same seats as the rest of the plane including leg room, only difference is no one is sitting in the middle row, they put a janky little table in there to give you somewhere extra for the free drink to sit

Flight was delayed. Thankfully I wasn't in a rush. The airport experience (shops, amenities, ample restaurants, coffee shops, seats with charging) was very good) was very good as was the boarding which was orderly and organised. The flight was short so whilst there was no entertainment I thought that was ok especially in the age of smart phones and kindles. It would have been nice to have usbc charging supported at my seat but again it was a short flight so no drama. Overall a positive experience flying from London to Edinburgh with BA.

It’s a budget airline. You get what you pay for. They insisted on getting us out of the gate and into our slot on time. They got us to the destination safely. Aircraft was clean and well maintained. What more could we want

Half an hour delay. Squeezed into a small Departure Lounge with very few seats. Noisy flight with screaming unruly kids. Loud IPads and Phones. Heaven!

Were delayed in the airport for 5 hours with no explanation. Flight kept getting delayed by an hour at a time and wizz air staff were no where to be found

The flight was delayed 5 hours and I'm and invalid,I wan a refund for this

The cabin crew on that flight were super fantastic and super helpful. They were so polite and considerate that i felt i travelled with a 5star airline.

Delayed delayed delayed - always with Wizzair. Staff were friendly and well mannered but clearly the company is unorganized and the aircrafts are outdated.

It's a budget airline. Great for short flight. Smooth landing.

4 hr delay and only told less than 2hrs before. Only given water and nuts on the flight as complimentary service. Left to wait in rain before boarding.

To be honest I did not like anything. Communication to why my flight was cancelled mid air 2 and half hours into my flight. Customer service desk were not helpful with providing information or a solution on what can be done.

I have been treated unacceptably by WizzAir aircraft crew in a previous flight, they threatened me and abused me, and I received an OFFICIAL written apology, but only two (2) months later. This flight had no such unacceptable behaviour, but it's not nice to be left waiting in the walkway (from gate to aircraft) for a long time, just so that the 'boarding' appears to be early, even if actual departure is not.
