Iceland Air flash sale -- return flights from £76

Iceland Air are currently running a flash sale, with return fares to Iceland from £76. The headline rates from various UK airports are: 

• Gatwick £76
  
• Heathrow £81
  
• Manchester £136
  
• Glasgow £129
  

It appears from the terms of the deal that you can travel on any day of the week, but you’ll need to include one Saturday night in Iceland. The flight time is around 3 hours and the fares include 10kg hand-bag (NOT checked luggage).

To see how the promotion stacks up, let’s take a fantasy trip to Reykjavik in November, to help get us in the Christmas spirit. 

Gatwick > Reykjavik Thursday 08 November 2018

Reykjavik > Gatwick Sunday 11 November 2018

When selecting flights, be sure to choose the Economy Light fare. My outbound journey comes in at £42.96, and the inbound journey at £32.20, bringing the total return ticket price to £75.16.

How does that compare to the competition?

Via Google Flights and Kayak, I found the following flights for the same travel period departing Gatwick:

• EasyJet £68
  
• Iceland Air £76
  
• Wow Air £77
  
• BA £137
  

While EasyJet comes in cheaper, you’ll definitely have a better experience on the Iceland Air Boeing 757-200 with seat back entertainment and non-alcoholic drinks included. It’s a very good deal.

Book by midnight on 26th April for travel between 20 August and 10 December 2018.
