Icelandair has announced a new direct route from Reykjavik to Istanbul, set to launch on September 5, 2025. This four-times-weekly service will provide North American travelers with a convenient and budget-friendly connection to Turkey, marking Icelandair\u2019s continued expansion into new markets. The Reykjavik-Istanbul flight will take approximately five hours and 30 minutes, providing a new affordable travel option to Turkey, with one-way fares starting at around $406.<\/p>\n
This expansion also builds on Icelandair\u2019s codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines, enhancing access between Iceland and Turkey. Although there is no direct service from the United States, travelers from Icelandair\u2019s extensive North American network\u2014which includes cities like New York, Denver, Portland, and Chicago\u2014can now connect seamlessly to Istanbul via Reykjavik.<\/p>\n
According to Icelandair CEO Bogi Nils Bogason, the airline sees growing demand for connections between Iceland, Turkey, and Asia. \u201cWe are excited to continue reinforcing our route network, bringing new travel opportunities for our customers and boosting Iceland\u2019s tourism,\u201d Bogason said.<\/p>\n
Icelandair\u2019s hub-and-spoke model out of Reykjavik enables efficient one-stop connections between smaller U.S. cities and Europe. The airline\u2019s free stopover program also allows travelers to enjoy Iceland\u2019s natural wonders en route to their final destination. Additionally, Icelandair\u2019s recent partnership with Southwest Airlines will allow Southwest customers to access Icelandair\u2019s international flights, making the route to Turkey more accessible than ever for travelers across the U.S.<\/p>\n
