Icelandair resumes flights to London

While we have offered some connections with London during the past few months, we are pleased to once again have scheduled flights connecting Keflavík and London Heathrow. 

In July, our frequency to Heathrow will increase, from 2 to 7 trips per week.

Check our flight schedule for up-to-date details for the coming weeks.

Our number one priority is the health and safety of our customers and crew. Read about our safety measures – at the airport and on board – on our Safe travels - shared responsibility page.

We understand the need for reassurance, so we encourage you to read more about the current situation in the UK by visiting these official websites of the authorities:

As countries open up again, travel restrictions are fast-changing. Travelers should look into the current rules that apply to them for the destination they wish to visit (for example, requirements for a COVID test or possible quarantine, what documentation is required), and also for rules that apply to their return trip (for example, the need to quarantine after returning home).

Excellent official resources:
