Great deal on airfare.
However it's worth mentioning that a trip to Iceland requires booking well in advance.
Good luck finding something on the South coast for the given timeframe (try finding lodging near Vik for example). Unless you want to spend the whole trip near the capital.

Airfare is probably the least expensive item of a trip to Iceland. Lodging, car rental, and everything else is not. By the way, gas is $8 per gallon right now.
only personal item included 1 Personal item
(17x13x10in)

youll have to pay for the rest:

1 Carry-on bag
(22x18x10in)
Price at check-in: USD 69.99
Price now from: USD 54.99
Checked bag
1pc = 44lbs
Price at check-in: USD 89.99
Price now from: USD 69.99
I am as frugal as it gets and view Iceland as a quick couple day layover to get to Europe. Hostels aren't exorbitant, hot springs fabu, ground transpo easy, and airfare is dirt cheap.

I take an Osprey Ozone backpack without an internal frame and bring little clothes so I can roll it up and lash it to meet personal item spec.
Then I buy my clothes upon arrival in Europe, and the $70+ I save will buy me plenty at the thrift store.

Do it! Think thrifty! Iceland rocks, Europe is delightful, and airfare has never been cheaper. Props!

I booked my Trip in December for February travel and had zero difficulties with any bookings except the blue lagoon.

We stayed in the Capital and traveled everywhere which was no issues. We also went to Vik and stayed the night once on a 2 day trip to Hofn.

Incredible country, worth every penny, can't wait to go back. But yes, VERY expensive, from NYC standards.

is it easier to do photo workshop/tour vs car rental and booking hotel? I'm doing my research on going to Iceland for next year Nov. This seems like a great price for flights. But heard mixed review on Wow airline.

...and there's the fine print. I'm not saying it's impossible to travel with only a single personal item, but most people would find that difficult.

Don't know where you are, but flight from NY to Iceland is about the same as NY to California on the same continent! LOL

Non-stop flight time from New York to Reykjavik is around 5 hours 45 minutes

I think it depends on what type of experience you want. I went during the summer, 4th of July week, weather was perfect, grass on the ground, sun doesn't set at night. 24 hours of light! But I do want to go back in the dead of winter and see the northern lights and experience it then. I went ice climbing during the summer also, so you can do most activities year round.

How much more expensive would you say Iceland is compared to NYC?
