Icelandair is offering a deal from London to the US East Coast starting at just €317. This deal doesn’t include checked luggage, but only a 7 kg carry-on. You can upgrade to Economy Standard with checked luggage on the Icelandair website, but that raises the price to €500. Departures are available in January and February 2026. You only get this low price if you add a stopover in Iceland on the outbound journey. That can be either 25 hours, or up to 7 days – whichever you find more appealing. More on that here.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Google Flights with your selected flight dates. From there, you can check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €70 cheaper than Icelandair:

Flights from London (both Gatwick and Heathrow) to Iceland are operated with Icelandair’s Boeing 737 MAX. In economy class, you can expect a 3-3 configuration with an average of 81 cm of legroom, personal in-flight entertainment, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, and the option to purchase meals and snacks on board. Then, the trip continues onboard a Boeing 737 MAX (to Newark), and Airbus A321neo (to JFK), or a Boeing 767 (to Boston).
Most Europeans need an electronic system for travel authorization (ESTA) to enter the USA for up to 90 days. This costs US$40 (~€34) and you should apply for it a couple of days before your trip, at the latest.
There are some cases where you cannot apply for an ESTA, e.g. if you’ve been to Cuba since 2021 or to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, or North Korea since March 2011. In those cases, you’ll need to get a visa from a US embassy or consulate, which can take multiple weeks.
Search & Book
This time, the fare rules are quite unclear. What we know is that the lowest price is only available in January and February 2026, and also only if you add a stopover in Iceland on the outbound trip. You can find all available dates using our calendar, or also Google Flights‘ calendar.
Editor’s Note: This deal lets you explore both Iceland AND Boston/New York for a price that usually only gets you to one of these destinations. Just remember to bring a warm coat, because it’s going to be freezing cold at all of these destinations.
Iceland Stopover
On Icelandair’s website, you have the option to use Stopover in Iceland for a layover in Iceland either on the outbound or inbound journey, allowing for a city break in Reykjavík. In this case, you need to add it on the outbound flight.
Here is one example:

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.
