Holidays from East Midlands to Iceland

Our East Midlands departures use airport transfers from the destination airport, and we confirm current departure times and carriers with you by phone before you book.

• Keflavik Airport arrival: Most Iceland itineraries begin at Keflavik Airport on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which sits roughly a short drive from the capital. From here the transfer into the city is the first real piece of the journey, and we factor it into your timings so you are not rushing from the arrival hall to a hotel check-in. The airport also places the Blue Lagoon close by, which many travellers add to their first afternoon. It is exactly the brief our Iceland holidays deals are built around.
• Reykjavik city transfer: The capital is the easiest base for day trips, and the transfer from the airport brings you into the compact centre where most hotels sit. Because the city is walkable, you can reach the harbour and museums on foot once you arrive. We recommend keeping at least one night here if your arrival flight lands late, since the transfer leaves less room for error than it first appears. It is exactly the brief our Reykjavik holidays deals are built around.
• Akureyri northern transfer: If your holiday takes you north, Akureyri is the largest town in the north and is set on a long fjord. Reaching it by road from the capital is a long drive, so most travellers either fly domestically or allow a full day of travel. We advise treating the north as a separate chapter of the trip, with its own accommodation and transfer plan.
• Ring Road rental pick-up: The Ring Road, known as Route 1, circles the island and links the main towns and waterfalls, and many visitors hire a car at the airport to drive it. Driving on it requires checking conditions on the official road authority website, particularly in winter when highland roads close. We help you match your car pick-up time to your flight arrival so the first leg of driving does not start in the dark. Whether you are planning a quick escape or a flexible trip, the same brief our Iceland Last Minute Holidays deals are built around, and the Island circuit route stays the centrepiece of the itinerary.
• Stykkisholmur ferry port: Stykkisholmur is a small town on the western peninsula, with a harbour that serves as a ferry port for the bay beside it. Known as a Western harbour town, it is a reachable stop for travellers building a west coast loop, although the drive from the capital takes a couple of hours. It suits travellers who want a slower stay after the busier city days, the same brief our Cheap Iceland Holidays deals are built around, and our team confirms the specific transfer arrangements with you by phone.
