How much is a flight from Reykjavik to Akureyri?

The cost of a flight from Reykjavik to Akureyri depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Reykjavik to Akureyri flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Reykjavik to Akureyri: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Reykjavik to Akureyri is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Reykjavik to Akureyri flight first, then the alternatives.

Airlines flying from Reykjavik to Akureyri

On the flight from Reykjavik to Akureyri you can choose between Icelandair. A full-service airline typically includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

Departure: Reykjavík Domestic Airport (in the city) (RKV)

Flights from Reykjavik to Akureyri leave from Reykjavík Domestic Airport (in the city) (RKV), serving Reykjavik - reykjavik is the capital of Iceland and the world's northernmost capital, a small colourful city by the harbour with Keflavik International (KEF) about 50 km south-west across the lava fields; the Blue Lagoon lies on the road between them, and the Golden Circle, the south coast and Vik begin at the city's edge. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Flybus and Airport Direct coaches run from Keflavik to the BSÍ terminal and, with a change, to hotels; there is no rail. With luggage, a late flight, a Blue Lagoon stop or the drive to Vik, a private car is the simpler choice and the usual one.

• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Reykjavík Domestic Airport (in the city)
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly

Arrival: Akureyri Airport (AEY) and getting into Akureyri

The flight lands at Akureyri Airport (AEY). Akureyri is the capital of north Iceland at the head of a fjord, the base for Mývatn, Goðafoss and whale watching at Húsavík. From arrivals you have taxis, public transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Reykjavik to Akureyri journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Reykjavik to Akureyri flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Reykjavik to Akureyri. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request

Best time to fly from Reykjavik to Akureyri

Summer from June to August has the midnight sun and the whale-watching season, while winter from October to March brings the northern lights, skiing and short, often snowy days; roads over the mountain passes can close in storms, and the Mývatn midges are most active in early summer. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Reykjavik to Akureyri are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.
