Book flights to Reykjavik and touch down in the most sparsely-populated outpost of Europe. It feels like it too: yawning vistas of scrubby farmland, black-as-night ribbons of sand, lakes that stretch for miles, and roads that really do feel like they are going to nowhere. And then you find a rainbow-making waterfall, or a herd of fuzzy, friendly Icelandic horses, or a hot pocket of spring water where even winter melts away. The beauty of Iceland is that every visitor discovers a different destination.

Unearth your Iceland when you book flights to Reykjavik with TravelSupermarket. Direct flights take around 2.5-3 hours from the UK. London to Reykjavik is a popular route, but low-cost flights also take off from airports such as Manchester, Bristol and Birmingham.

Low-cost flights have really opened Iceland up to UK visitors, while the national carrier has also expanded its services in recent years.

Icelandair flies daily from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, and Glasgow. Additional services operate from Birmingham and Aberdeen, with a flight time of about three hours. WOW is another local carrier with flights from Gatwick. Both airlines offer onward connections with stopovers, meaning you could combine a trip to the USA and Canada with your Reykjavik flight.

British Airways has relaunched flights from London and easyJet has multiple weekly services from London’s Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, as well as Manchester, Bristol, Belfast, and Edinburgh.

The airport is around 50 kilometres from the city; transfers run frequently between the two.

The Flybus whisks passengers between the airport and central Reykjavik in around 45 minutes, with further transfer services available upon arrival in the city. A single ticket costs about 2,200 krona (around £12). For a couple of extra pounds per person, the Flybus+ will drop you at your hotel, a service also offered by Gray Line Iceland.

A taxi fare between Keflavik and Reykjavik costs around £80. Alternatively, pre-book car hire in Iceland and collect your vehicle upon arrival in Keflavik, saving on the cost of expensive airport transfers. Look for cheap car hire now with TravelSupermarket. 

The wilds of Iceland are ravishing, but for a hip urban scene, amazing restaurants and cool nightlife, it has to be Reykjavik. The nation’s capital is a sprawling centre of all things cultural, economic, gastronomic, financial, retail and, well, everything, in Iceland. Reykjavik is probably the only destination on this vast island where you can get around easily without a car. Book a hotel in the compact city centre, using tour companies to see the sights outside Reykjavik, and you can ditch the car keys during your break (handy, when you clock the amount of friendly bars along Austurstraeti - that’s a street in downtown, close to the main streets of Laugavegur and Bankastraeti).

Downtown is the only location worth considering for your stay in Reykjavik. Here, you get bags of Scandinavian style and great views at the luxury end of the market, and good facilities, convenient locations and reasonable prices in the budget hotels.

Book well in advance and compare the best deals on TravelSupermarket to make savings on your stay in the Icelandic capital.
