With nonstop flights available each day, it’s a great option for travelers looking for a quick and easy trip from the United States.

The average round-trip airfare from New York to Reykjavik is $581, but there are some ways you can find cheaper prices on your flight. For starters, consider traveling during the off-season when fares are typically lower. You should also try searching for flights with multiple stops instead of a direct connection, as you can often save 20%-60% when booking a multi-stop flight. And don’t forget to use Skyscanner’s cheapest month and date tool to see when the cheapest time to fly from New York to Reykjavik will be for your planned travel dates.

If you’re still not seeing cheap fares for your desired dates, it might be worth looking at other nearby airports to see if they have better deals on flights to Reykjavik. Many smaller cities with large airports, such as Peoria (PIA) and Madison (MSN), offer inexpensive flights to Europe for a fraction of the cost of flying from JFK or EWR. By leveraging this strategy, you can easily snag a low-priced trip to Reykjavik from one of these budget-friendly airports.

For a less expensive trip to Iceland, you can also consider connecting via Berlin. Direct flights are available with both Icelandair and Norwegian, and the average flight is under $604. If you’re a fan of German history and architecture, you’ll enjoy learning about the city’s rich Viking heritage while enjoying its vibrant nightlife and quaint timber homes. With so much to see and do, it’s no surprise that Berlin is a top destination for New Yorkers seeking a cheap European getaway.
