Which UK airports fly direct to Iceland?

It’s one of the most fascinating places on earth, and so you might be wondering what your best way of getting there is.

Well, we regularly monitor flight schedules across the world in a bid to bring you the most up to date, easy to digest information, and here’s the latest.

You can fly directly to Iceland from the following UK airports:

• London Gatwick
• London Heathrow
• London Luton
• London Stansted
• Bristol
• Birmingham
• Manchester
• Liverpool
• Leeds Bradford
• Newcastle
• Edinburgh
• Glasgow International
• Belfast International
• East Midlands

Package holiday or flight only?

It’s worth considering a package holiday to Iceland, as this will often result in better value for money compared to a flight only.

Besides, the final price can be bundled together into one easy booking and include your flights, hotel, bags, ATOL protection and more. Book with Jet2holidays or TUI holidays and you’ll have an excursion included, too!

That said, there are also good reasons for booking a flight only, for example if you were staying in an Airbnb or generally want a bit more flexibility in terms of where you stay / what you do.

We’ve included links for both options above for your convenience.

How to get from Keflavik Airport (KEF) to the city

Once you’ve arrived at Keflavik Airport, the capital city is very well connected from there.

You can take the express bus service, taxi or alternatively you can hire a car from one of the many service providers at the airport.

All public transport are conveniently located just outside of the terminal building, and the journey is around 50km to Reykjavik.

The buses operate with arriving and departing flight times, so you should be well looked after – tickets can be bought either online or from the bus driver.

Conclusion

As illustrated in the table above, the UK is very well-placed for direct flights to Iceland, albeit some routes are very limited, especially with Jet2.

It’s a destination that’s becoming more and more popular each year, and so hopefully we see even more availability soon!

We’ve compiled this information using flight aggregator tools such as Google Flights, whilst cross-checking these flight schedules directly with the airlines and travel companies mentioned above.

To accomplish this to a high degree of accuracy, I’m regularly checking flight schedules and relevant news stories from a range of sources, and have great experience in doing so for many different routes.

That said, flight schedules can move quickly so please do leave a comment below if you spot any inaccuracies or have anything to add – it would be much appreciated.
