Reykjavik

Iceland as a Transatlantic stopover

Travellers may never consider visiting Iceland as it is seemingly so out of the way. If you are flying between North America and Europe you could visit Iceland as a stopover trip.

Flights deals from to Reykjavik often turn up on flight finders like Skyscanner.

Another way to find flight deals is to subscribe to the newsletters of Icelandair and WOW Air.

Icelandair is the flag carrier airline of Iceland that serves destinations in North America and Europe. Their website provides details on stopping over in Reykjavik enroute to your destination.

WOW Air (formerly Iceland Express) is a low cost airline from Iceland that flies to destinations in Europe and North America. They have the occasional cheap flight sale and often their combined flights from New York to London via Reykjavik is the cheapest Transatlantic option.
