February offers the best deals at €285 average, while July prices soar to €485 due to Iceland’s tourism boom.

No direct flights operate between Prague (PRG) and Reykjavik (KEF). All services require at least one stop. The most common connections are Copenhagen (Icelandair, SAS), Oslo (Norwegian, Icelandair), London Gatwick (easyJet), and Amsterdam (Icelandair). Travelers from Prague often find better deals routing through major Nordic capitals rather than searching for Prague-Rekjavik directly. Some packages offer multi-city tickets combining Prague-Keflavik with domestic Iceland connections.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Prague to Reykjavik?
February is the cheapest month with average fares of €285, followed closely by November at €290 and October at €320. These shoulder months offer significant savings versus summer peak. However, December spikes to €380 due to Christmas/New Year travel. If budget is primary, avoid June-August when prices jump 40-70% above base. The sweet spot is late February through early April, or October through mid-November, offering decent weather and lower costs than summer while avoiding the worst winter weather.
Which airlines fly from Prague to Reykjavik?
No airlines operate direct flights. Connecting carriers include Icelandair (premium option with 1 checked bag included, best connection times), SAS Scandinavian Airlines (reliable via Copenhagen/Stockholm, good for European connectivity), Norwegian Air Shuttle (budget option via Oslo, cheap base fares but pay for bags), easyJet (via London Gatwick, good if combining UK travel), and Wizz Air (seasonal service, limited availability). Icelandair and SAS are recommended for first-time visitors wanting reliable service with baggage included.
What airport do I fly into in Reykjavik?
You fly into Keflavik International Airport (KEF), located 50km (31 miles) southwest of Reykjavik city center. The airport is modern with good facilities but quite remote. The most popular transfer option is the Flybus airport coach (€25-30, 40-45 minutes to BSÍ bus terminal in central Reykjavik), departing within 30 minutes of each flight arrival. Private taxis cost €150-180 and are only worth it for groups. Rental cars are readily available at the terminal. The new tunnel road (41) connects directly to Reykjavik in about 45 minutes by car.
How far in advance should I book Prague to Reykjavik flights?
Book 8-10 weeks ahead for optimal pricing, especially for summer travel (June-August) when Iceland tourism peaks. For February and November travel, 6-8 weeks ahead typically secures the best fares. Last-minute deals are rare on this route as Iceland’s small airport doesn’t attract significant unsold inventory sales. Don’t book more than 4 months out as airlines haven’t released their best promotional fares yet. Set fare alerts 2-3 months before your target travel dates and book when prices drop to or below the annual average for your chosen month.
Is it cheaper to fly from Prague to Reykjavik on weekdays?
Yes, Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically €30-60 cheaper than weekend flights. Saturday is the most expensive day to depart, particularly in summer when leisure travelers combine weekend departures with weeklong Iceland trips. Thursday departures offer a middle ground with moderate savings. If your schedule allows flexibility, shifting a Saturday departure to Tuesday can save significant money—though the convenience premium is often worth it for those with limited vacation days. Monday departures tend to price similarly to weekdays but can spike if business travel demand is high.
