There are very few airports with flights to Iceland.As far as I know, WOW airline is currently the cheapest, about $100 each way. But they charge you for pretty much everything including a bigger bag.They charge you for checked luggage.

With this option, they also will not provide food for you so you should bring snacks and drinks with you.
An additional $100 each way, the WOW Plus ticket includes hand baggage, checked bags and in-flight cancellation insurance and personal belongings. If you carry a lot of luggage or camping gear, you should choose WOW Plus.

If you’re in a European city, you can go there to Reykjavik on Iceland Express, the country’s low-cost airline. Tickets from cities like Copenhagen can be as low as $100 return.

The best ways to have a cheap Iceland vacation

1. When to go

Iceland is very cold in the winter. Summers are warmer, around 70F / 21C in the middle of summer, when the day is longer and the sun barely sets. Of course, this is when people want to travel, and then the prices for flights and hotels are the highest. So, you can start your trips in the late fall or early spring to take advantage of the lowest hotel prices and cheap flights. At that time, air ticket savings alone can reach 50%.

2. Self-driving

You don’t need to hire an expensive driver or spend the tour to explore Iceland. Rent a car for about $70 a day and explore Golden Circle on your own. On your road trip, You can find a way to hitchhike if you carry a little luggage.

3. Self-cooking

Eating in Reykjavik-Iceland is very expensive. You can save money by staying in rooms with a kitchenette so you can cook for yourself. For cheap food, try one of Iceland’s famous hot dogs, addictive roasted lamb tubes covered with mustard, ketchup, gravy, remoulade and onions… its price is under $3.

 The things you must to know about Iceland for a perfect trip

1. Please be careful while driving on icelandic roads. They are really dangerous and sadly way to many foreigners get involved in car crashes.

2. Never go unprepared on the highlands. Do not go driving that rented yaris and think that you can cross rivers and go over mountains. Last icelanders can be a bit of a jerks when it comes to driving but if you see wild horses don’t park at the middle of the road, make sure that cars have plenty of space to pass by you in both directions, and if that isn’t possible just keep on going, i promise you will see more wild horses.

3. Don’t buy water because you are washing money. I see alot of tourists buying water. You can drink the tap water its even healthier than the bottled water. Everyone in Iceland drinks the tap water.
