If you’ve been dreaming of exploring the Icelandic countryside or relaxing in the iconic Blue Lagoon, now’s the time to do it, because fares have dropped as low as $323 round-trip.
While you used to be able to snag a much better deal, low prices to Iceland have not been so common since the demise of low-fare airline WOW Air. If you’re looking for recommendations and tips on traveling in Iceland, check out these guides:
