I am a flight attendant in the US, and plan a quick long weekend visit, but would prefer a time when the hustle and bustle of summer visitors is over. Of course I'd love to see the northern lights, but know that is wishful thinking! Your suggestions? Vija :) Tell me, tell me… when is a good time to visit Iceland during the off season?

We drove along almost every corner of the country, and when we were in Hali near Jökulsárlón spent the whole last night we stayed there waiting to see a northern light. I was told it would be difficult because the season was starting, and indeed didn't see any. However, it was a beautiful clear night and shot a lot of long exposure pictures of stars, while listening on the car's stereo the Noi soundtrack. A truly Icelandic Night without a northern light!.

On really cold & clear nights you can actually hear them crackling as they roll across the sky. The best guarantee of seeing them?...move to Iceland. It's an experience you'll never forget.

I'm making my first trip to Iceland with my Hubby next week to, amongst other things, go lights hunting - but I've just seen you're having awful weather at the moment! Do you think the lights are likely to be anywhere to be seen, or - alternatively what activities do you recomend for those windy cold nights!?! Caroline - an excited soon-to-be tourist!

But I do have an interesting tale. One night I had arrived at Kverkfjoll for the ice and fire tour and had talked at length with a German girl when it came for lights out (12pm). I stayed in the hut while she went out to her tent. Well the following morning over breakfast she said you know last night I was just getting into my tent when I looked up and saw a wonderful thing- Yeah you guessed it while I was climbing into my bunk the Aurora were doing their thing and all for an audience of one- oh bum!!!

I have flown with Iceland Express and until this year they were the cheapest. Never flown with Iceland Air! Went package this year with BA as cheaper. Seriously, you know how scarce hotels are in Summer. We cneed early news of flights for this busy time. Also what about deals/hotels for Airwaves Festival?
