Peak season:
A lot of tourist’s book flights to Iceland for the summer months as there is almost continuous daylight. That said, it can be a bit disorientating at first when you lose track of the hours when darkness never comes. Early spring and late autumn are great times to find cheap flights to Iceland too when tourism isn’t too high but there are long twilights. Flights to Iceland are easily available throughout the year but if you do visit in late autumn you might pay more for your flight tickets as the Northern Lights are more visible.
Off Season:
Mid-November until the end of January sees winter engulf the country. The opposite of the summer takes place so you’ll see almost constant darkness, especially during the peak of Winter. The benefit of this is that the Northern Lights are a lot more visible and your chance of catching the amazing sights are a lot higher. Cheap flights to Iceland are a little harder to come by during the off season though as the Northern Lights are big attraction to the country.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Iceland, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, July is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 11.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 0.0 C).
The best time to secure your flights to Iceland depends a lot on your reasons for visiting. If you are going in hope of catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights then book your flight tickets for some time between late Autumn and January, and make sure to book your flights to Iceland at least a couple of months in advance. If you’re not too fussed about the Northern Lights then securing cheap flights to Iceland during the summer months would be better for you if you can tolerate the almost constant daylight with some areas of Iceland reaching 25 degrees during the day. When booking your flight tickets try to secure seats on the right hand side of the plane for a chance of seeing the Northern Lights from the plane, and sitting on the left on the way back to the UK means you could see it again on the way home.
