Cheap flights from Aberdeen to Reykjavik

The shoulder weeks in late October and early November sit before the low period, then December arrives as the cheapest month on this route. You can also see prices into spring through April, with February and March staying quiet outside school breaks. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend flights, and you should book at least a few weeks ahead if you plan to travel during Christmas or New Year.

Easyjet operates the low-cost portion of this route, mostly linking Aberdeen to London with onward connections to Iceland. British Airways runs its full-service network through Heathrow into Keflavik, while Wider and Loganair Limited handle regional legs from Scotland and Scandinavia. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines complete the mix, each routing you through Amsterdam or one of their Nordic hubs before you reach Reykjavik.

Keflavik International sits about thirty miles from central Reykjavik on a straight highway that takes roughly half an hour by car. The airport is large enough for international traffic but small enough that walking to the terminal exits feels straightforward once you land. Buses and taxis are the main ways into town, and you should allow extra time in winter when snow can slow ground transport.
