Flights to Iceland

It is not just a country awash with ice and snow all year round as you will discover when you make the right choice and book cheap flights to Iceland with BudgetAir. This northern most area is very much alive with a chic capital city, wildlife you have only ever seen on TV, and the chance to play golf at midnight during the summer.

About Iceland

Of course there are geysers and glaciers if you take flights to Iceland but there are also hot springs and thermal pools to warm the very cockles of your heart. For those on flights Iceland is like a wilderness waiting to be discovered, the magical beauty of which is found nowhere else on the planet.

For those fortunate enough to catch flights to Iceland you will find yourself on the edge of the Arctic where waterfalls thunder with such force the ground shakes, and where smouldering volcanoes and bubbling mud pools stop you in your tracks.

Must see spots in Iceland

The capital, Reykjavik, is a great place to start but be more adventurous than just spending your holiday there and the surrounding area. Spot whales off the north coast near Husavik from a traditional fishing boat or explore fire and ice at the Kverkfjoll Ice Caves that contain hot springs.

The country’s most isolated town is Isafjordur and it is littered with old timber buildings, many unchanged since the 18th century when they were built. There is also a folk museum, a whalebone arch, and many hiking trails, some of which give amazing views over a nearby fjord.

As if that is not enough surprises, for those on incoming flights Iceland has one more activity to amaze and delight you – a walk up the Svinafellsjokull glacier in Southeast Iceland, where you can discover ice caves, glacial mice, and multi-coloured ash from long-ago explosions of nearby volcanoes.

Tips for your round trip through Iceland

In addition to Reykjavik and Akureyri, Iceland has many more special destinations to discover. The best way to discover the country is to make a round trip. This is possible with a rental car, for example from Reykjavik. The Ring Road over the entire island in particular is popular for fly-drives and car holidays. You should not miss the following destinations and sights!

Gullfoss

Waterfalls are always spectacular, but Gullfoss is really next level. The water that flows from the land point has worn out the valley, so that the abyss is now 70 meters deep in certain places. The sound of the falling water is impressive!

Vatnajökull

The Vatnajökull National Park is almost 14,000 square kilometers in size. You will find the famous Vatnajökull glacier there. You can also visit one of the beautiful ice caves in the area (under supervision); for example Skaftafell. The smooth ice seems almost fake!

Aurora Borealis

A trip to Iceland is not complete without seeing the Northern Lights. Unfortunately you cannot always see the beautiful, dancing lights. You have the best chance if you go on a tour with an expert. These guides know the best places to spot the lights. They don't call it "chasing the lights for nothing"!

Blue Lagoon

The steaming, warm water of the Blue Lagoon is world famous. You can find the lava lake at Grindavík. Booking in advance is required, but then you can enjoy a wonderful spa treatment. The healing minerals in the water will make you relax and the blue water is just beautiful.
