We’re not saying we don’t love living in Miami, but we all need a little change of scenery from time to time. If you’re looking for a unique trip that will provide absolutely breathtaking landscapes, it’s about to get a whole lot easier for Miamians to jet off to Reykjavik!
As first reported by Aeroroutes, European airline Icelandair is expanding its presence in North America by adding flights to a handful of destinations, including Miami International Airport.
Between late 2025 and 2026, anyone from New York-JFK, Newark, Portland, Orlando and Miami can take advantage of direct flights to Keflavik International Airport (KEF) using the airline’s newly obtained Airbus A321LR jets.
Known for its sweeping views of snow-capped mountains and the sea, Reykjavik is a truly unique destination with plenty of modern museums, delightful eateries and breathtaking natural wonders, from hot springs to volcanoes. As the largest city in Iceland — housing 60% of the Nordic country’s population — and the world’s northernmost capital, you’ll find many activities to do there, from whale-watching to catching a glimpse of the northern lights!
While Icelandair has not officially announced flights to Miami, the Reykjavik service to the Magic City is estimated to launch on January 6, 2026 and operate three times a week. Flights would depart Iceland at 5:15 p.m. local time and arrive in Miami at 8:55 p.m. Returning flights would leave Miami at 5:15 p.m., arriving in Reykjavik at 5:55 a.m. the following day.
Stay tuned for an official announcement and more details as the airline gets closer to bringing us to the land of fire and ice!
