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!
