Build the weekend in HolidayPal
PLAY and easyJet have dropped return flights to Reykjavik to £80 from four UK airports. Not a typo — genuine fares that make Iceland suddenly feel like an actual option rather than a retirement-fund item.
The deal
Return flights to Reykjavik from:
- Manchester
- Bristol
- Edinburgh
- Stansted
Price from £80 per person return. Flights only — you'll sort your own accommodation and transfers.
Why we like it
Iceland's been stuck in "treat yourself" territory for years, which meant most people never went. At this price, you can actually build a proper long weekend without remortgaging. Four different departure airports means most of the UK can reach this without a two-hour drive to hub.
The catch? This is PLAY, the Icelandic budget carrier, often paired with easyJet — so expect standard budget airline terms. Baggage, seat selection, and extras cost separately. Also check what "return" actually covers: sometimes one leg is PLAY and one is easyJet, which is fine but worth confirming before booking.
Reykjavik's pricey once you land (food, activity permits, car rental), so budget accordingly — but the flight being reasonable suddenly makes the whole trip viable.
How to book
Head to PLAY or easyJet's website directly and search your preferred airport to Reykjavik. Dates matter — these fares don't always hold year-round, so lock it in quickly if the dates work for you.
