Nuuk, Greenland: €617 Icelandair Flights from Six European Countries (Long Layovers, €777 w/ Hold Bag)

Icelandair is offering a deal from Europe to Nuuk, Greenland, starting at just €617. This deal does not include checked luggage, but a carry-on bag. The cheapest fare including checked bags is available for €777 on Icelandair’s website.

To get these prices, you need to accept at least one long layover on Iceland, that you can turn into a stopover. In many cases, you will have an overnight layover in the inbound flight: Most reduced tickets are on FI 116, which arrives at 23:20 in Keflavik – and flights to Europe leave the next morning. Trying to avoid these layovers results in a price increase of roughly €200.

Departures are scattered from August 2025 to April 2026.

You can fly from the following airports for less than €800 (w/o bags):

• London at €617 (~£539)
• Copenhagen at €622 (~DKK 4,646)
• Stockholm at €623 (~SEK 6,806)
• Dublin at €638
• Oslo at €715 (~NOK 8,322)
• Paris at €733

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Icelandair or Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. From there, you can check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €30 cheaper, but might overcharge on things like hold luggage.

You will flight with Boeing 737 MAX with 3-3 configuration on most of the combinations. These birds feature on-demand TV in economy class, but no power outlets.

Search & Book

This deal does not have an expiration date, but a minimum stay of seven three or a Saturday overnight stay, and a maximum stay of twelve months apply. Departures are scattered from August 2025 to April 2026.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Icelandair’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Stopover in Iceland

You can make a stopover in Iceland on your way to Greenland. The easiest (although still time-consuming) way is to use Google Flights‘ multi-city search. Once you are done finding dates, you can enter them in our search form and book through Icelandair or Skyscanner.

Miles & Points

Icelandair doesn’t offer any points and miles outside their Icelandair Saga Club frequent flyer program.

Destination

Information & Tips for Greenland

Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, offers a mix of natural beauty and modern culture, with sights like the Nuuk Art Museum, the National Museum of Greenland, and nearby fjords ideal for boat tours. The local currency is the Danish krone (DKK). Prices are generally high, especially for food and accommodation, due to the remote location. Weather is cold year-round, with cool summers averaging around 5–10°C and long, harsh winters, so packing for cold conditions is essential.

Greenland has no roads connecting its towns and cities, so travel between them relies on boats, planes, and helicopters, which can be costly and subject to weather delays. Within cities like Nuuk, transport is limited but manageable, with local buses and taxis covering small urban areas. Most people get around on foot for short distances, as the communities are relatively compact.

Information & Tips for Iceland

Iceland offers unique natural sights like the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Circle (including Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, and Geysir), and the black sand beaches of Vík. The local currency is the Icelandic króna (ISK), and prices are generally high, especially for food, accommodations, and tours. Weather is unpredictable year-round, with cool summers (around 10–15°C) and cold, windy winters, though major roads and services remain accessible. Travelers should be prepared for sudden weather changes and budget accordingly.

Iceland’s transport infrastructure is limited outside the capital. Within Reykjavík, public buses are the main form of transport, but service can be infrequent, especially evenings and weekends. There are no trains, and intercity travel relies on buses or car rentals, with the latter being the most flexible option. Roads are generally well-maintained, but rural routes can be narrow or gravel, and weather can impact travel conditions year-round.
