About This Route
Reykjavik is the launchpad for geysers, waterfalls, and the Blue Lagoon, with winter bringing northern-lights hunts. Its short flight time makes it the closest slice of Europe from NYC.
Iceland is the shortest transatlantic crossing from New York, with nonstops to Keflavik taking only around five and a half hours. Icelandair and low-cost carrier PLAY specialize in the route, and Delta flies it seasonally, from both JFK and Newark. Value seekers should look at February, March and September, outside the summer high season and northern-lights peak. Iceland is inside Schengen, and Icelandair's stopover program lets you break a longer trip in Reykjavik at no extra airfare. The modest four- or five-hour time shift keeps jet lag mild. Prices can differ between the New York airports, so compare JFK and EWR.
Pro tip: Book 3-6 weeks in advance for the best deals. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically the cheapest days to fly on this route. Avoid traveling during peak periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break for lower fares.
