Iceland Express goes to New York

blys-87-261.jpgOn this episode of IEX in the City, we offer some awfully cheap transatlantic flights to New York from London, Berlin, Copenhagen and 7 other European cities, all via Reykjavík.

Okay, listen to this: Starting next summer you can fly with Iceland Express without actually planning to spend time in Iceland.

(Not that we’d mind of course — you’re always welcome to stop by for a sip of Brennvín.)

But you see, that’s when we add New York to our list of destinations.

And that means you’ll be able to fly with Iceland Express to New York from Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Oslo, Aalborg, Gothenburg, Billund, Warsaw, Cracow and Luxembourg (and back) — with an optional quick stop in Reykjavík for a dip in the Blue Lagoon with your new best Icelandic friends.

iex-usa-badge-150x.jpgThe price of these transatlantic flights varies a bit depending on the airports, but the cheapest flights are all in the range of £163–250, €185–267, $261–390 and DKK 1384–2040. (Just remember that the earlier you book, the better price you get.

As we think we mentioned earlier, all of this just went on sale, so you really should book your next flight to New York now.

  1. Þetta hljómar áhugavert. Er hægt að búa til ferð þar sem stoppið á Íslandi er nokkrir dagar bæði fram og tilbaka, og er mögulegt að panta barnamiða bara til Íslands með tveimur fullorðinsmiðum til NY?

  2. Hey guys! Great to hear about the flights to NYC. But the price examples that you mention, are they for round trips from to New York, from another european destination, or are they for flights from Reykjavik? And how much are the cheapest round trip tickets from Gothenburg to NYC?

    Would be great to have this explained. Thanks!

  3. It’s too bad that such a busy airport such as Amsterdam is not on your list of airports, because there are a lot of people who would be interested in this offer.

  5. Great News about the Link to New York,It should be popular .

    I would use it, providing the security checks are very high , I have concerns after the high wycombe plotters of 2006,
    who were targeting flighs to the USA Canada.

  9. PLEASE come to Budapest, Hungary.

    Iceland and Hungary are VERY different I am sure.
    Within these big differences, I am certain there are some significant marketing opportunities,
    I am willing to represent your airline within Hungary and am a PASSIONATE “Cheerleader” that can help you succeed here.
    I also have a good relationship with a locally-based International Travel Office that can officially rePresent Iceland Express.

    Sincerely, William Todd

  15. Bonjour ami(es) d’Iceland Express,
    Quand allez-vous enfin vous décider à faire partir des vols depuis MARSEILLE en France ?L’aéroport Low Cost existe déjà ! Nous sommes des milliers dans le sud de la France à attendre ce moment.
    Ce serait formidable pour nous et pour l’Islande.

  17. How can one fly to Geneva from New York?

  18. Hi there! The majority of all Europeans now uses the Euro as their currency. May I suggest that you also publish your fares in Euro?
    As far as I know you fly Boeings 757s, just like your comepetitor from Iceland. May I also suggest that you consider switching to wide-body jets like the (awfully slow) B 767, B 777 or their competitors with an Airbus nametag on them? If the price is right you will be able to fill up these planes as well.
    Best wishes from Germany.
