We spotted a one-way fare from London to Reykjavik for just £51 on 9 December 2026 — a genuinely low price for a route that usually costs a lot more.
To put that in context: the median price across 23 other dates we checked on this same London-Reykjavik route was £153, meaning this fare is roughly 67% cheaper than what you’d typically pay to fly there.
What you’re actually getting
- Route: London (LON) to Reykjavik (REK), Iceland
- Date: Tuesday, 9 December 2026
- Fare type: one-way, not a return ticket
- Price: £51
- Comparison: £102 cheaper than the £153 median price on this same route
The honest caveats
- This £51 price is tied specifically to 9 December 2026 — fly a different date on this route and you’ll likely see prices back near that £153 median
- This is a snapshot from our own price-monitoring, taken on 10 September 2026, not a promo code with a fixed expiry — it could disappear within hours, or it could still be there in a few weeks. We genuinely don’t know which
Why Reykjavik, why now
Iceland is not a cheap destination to fly to at the best of times — limited competition on the route keeps fares propped up most of the year. Early December also means you’d be landing in the middle of Iceland’s short winter daylight, with a genuine shot at the Northern Lights, ice caves, and the Blue Lagoon before the Christmas crowds properly kick in. A sub-£55 one-way fare to a destination like this doesn’t come around often.
What to do next
Anomaly fares like this one exist because a seat inventory glitch or a temporary pricing gap opened up — and those gaps close the moment enough people book through them, or the moment the algorithm catches up. If a December trip to Iceland is even loosely on your radar, check live availability on this route now rather than bookmarking it for later, because “later” is exactly when fares like this tend to vanish.
Also available on 4 December 2026
If 9 December does not work for your schedule, there is also availability on 4 December 2026 at £70 one-way from London — still roughly 54% below the typical median price on this route, and a real fare drop on its own terms.
