Jet2 brings back Iceland trips from Newcastle Airport

Jet2 has announced details of its 'once-in-a-lifetime' trips to Iceland direct from Newcastle International Airport. The airline has launched its 2027/28 winter programme, with flights and city breaks now on sale.

Iceland, packed with natural wonders and home to a compact, culture-filled capital city, is positioned as the ultimate winter getaway. Customers can look forward to chasing the Northern Lights, soaking in the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon, and exploring the dramatic Golden Circle, South Shore, and volcanic landscapes.

Programme dates and routes

The programme runs from October 4 to December 6, 2027, before resuming from January 28 to April 24, 2028. Flights are also available from Birmingham, Bournemouth, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted, and Manchester.

Customers and independent travel agents can book a flight-only option with Jet2.com or a Jet2CityBreaks package with a low deposit of just £60 per person. Packages include Jet2.com flights, 22kg hold luggage, and a choice of hotels in central Reykjavik. Excursions including the South Shore, Golden Circle, and Blue Lagoon are also available to add.

Newcastle services and Reykjavik appeal

Two weekly services will run from Newcastle Airport on Mondays and Fridays from October 22 to November 15, 2027, February 18 to February 28, 2028, and April 7 to April 24, 2028, with flights timed for key school holiday periods.

Reykjavik adds to the experience with striking architecture, lively bars and cafés, a thriving food scene, and plenty of local character. Whether holidaymakers want to sample fresh seafood, explore the city, or use it as a base for excursions, Iceland delivers a mix of adventure and city break appeal.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: "Iceland continues to prove a huge hit with customers, thanks to its abundance of natural wonders, unique culture and incredible once-in-a-lifetime experiences. From chasing the Northern Lights and bathing in geothermal waters to exploring Reykjavik’s food, culture and striking scenery, it is easy to see why holidaymakers continue to seek out this unforgettable destination."

Heapy added: "With flights on sale from six UK airports, three exclusive routes and up to six weekly flights from Manchester, our Winter 27/28 programme gives customers, independent travel agents and families seeking adventure in their school holidays fantastic choice and flexibility when it comes to experiencing everything Iceland has to offer. Combined with the value and convenience of a Jet2CityBreaks package, we are confident this will be another hugely successful programme."
