What is an Icelandair Stopover?
Fly across the Atlantic from the UK to North America and add a stop in Iceland for up to 7 days – and pay no additional airfare.
Why Stopover in Iceland?
It’s a lot more bang for your buck. You get 2 destinations for the price of 1, and get double the fun.
Want more reasons?
• Iceland is on the way! You’re flying over Iceland, so why not stop to see it up close?
• Stretch your legs in Iceland as you prepare for North America. We have hiking trails and landscapes that will begin your holiday in style.
• Soak and pamper and recover from your time in North America. We have warm geothermal lagoons that are perfect for that.
• Get a jump on jet lag with Iceland’s fresh air and fantastic photogenic nature.
• You want nature but your travel buddy wants shopping? Our Stopover has you both covered.
• Tick more off your bucket list.
How to make the most of your time in Iceland:
You can experience a lot on a short stay. You can focus on a spa Stopover for 1 day or a week filled with outdoor adventures. Mix and match to make your Stopover your own.
Did you know: The Blue Lagoon and Iceland's newest lava field are just a half an hour away from the airport. And it only takes about
a day to explore our pint-sized capital, Reykjavík.
Check out our ready-made Stopover itineraries online, which can help you get the most out of your time. And we can help in practical ways, too, with a range of easy day trips and tours bookable on our website with Icelandair Holidays.
Depending on the season you visit, here are some highlights you might expect on an Icelandair Stopover:
• Gaze in wonder at the northern lights (October to April is best for this).
• Soak in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon.
• Go horseback riding through lava fields.
• Ride a snowmobile on a glacier. • Spot whales and puffins on
a boat ride (in summer).
• Explore the buzzing culture and food scene in Reykjavík, followed by live music in a cosy bar.
• Visit waterfalls and black beaches under the midnight sun (late May, June and early July are prime for this).
• Take a road trip of a few days along the awesome south coast, loaded with glaciers and waterfalls.
• Tour the Golden Circle in a day, visiting geothermal treats,
a huge waterfall, and a geological wonder-filled national park.

The question isn’t whether you choose a big-city break in New York or a nature break in Iceland. The question is, why not both?
