Getting to Iceland

Closer than
you think.

Iceland sits a short flight from both North America and Europe — one of the most accessible luxury destinations on earth. From dozens of cities you can be in Reykjavík in hours. And with the Icelandair Stopover, your guests can add up to seven nights at no additional airfare.

A Short Hop

The most reachable
corner of the far north.

Iceland's position in the middle of the North Atlantic is its quiet advantage: roughly five to six hours from the east coast of North America, and around three from much of Europe. Keflavík International Airport is served by some twenty-five airlines and connects to more than sixty cities — which means your guest is rarely more than one flight from Reykjavík.

The Icelandair Stopover

Already flying across the Atlantic?
Add Iceland for free.

Icelandair connects North America and Europe through Reykjavík — and on most fares, travellers can break the journey in Iceland for up to seven nights at no additional airfare. A connection becomes a holiday; a transatlantic ticket becomes the start of a journey.

Economy Light — 1 to 3 nights Standard fares — up to 7 nights Flex & Saga Premium — up to 21 nights

The Stopover covers the flights only — which is precisely where we come in. Those seven nights are ours to author: the stays, the guides, the private experiences and the transfers that turn a layover into the journey people talk about for years.
