How to book this deal
Choose your dates
Pick one of the sample October, November or December combinations. More date combinations may also be possible.
Check baggage
The fare shows cabin baggage included. Confirm the exact size and allowance before payment.
Plan Iceland costs
The flight is cheap, but Iceland is expensive. Check hotels, tours, car hire and transfers before booking.
Prices and availability can change quickly. Sample fares were found from around €97 / PLN 436 return with cabin baggage included. Always confirm the final fare, baggage allowance, seller conditions, operating airline, airport details, hotel costs, car-hire costs, tour prices and Iceland travel conditions before booking.
A better overall Iceland deal than many Wizz fares
Return flights from Gdansk to Reykjavik are available from around €97 / PLN 436 with Icelandair. The route is direct both ways and the fare includes cabin baggage, which makes the real value much stronger than the headline price might suggest.
This is exactly where the comparison with Wizz-style Iceland fares becomes important. A cheaper-looking low-cost fare can easily become less attractive once you add a proper cabin bag. Here, the included cabin baggage makes the deal cleaner and more honest from the start.
The outbound flight is around 4 hours, while the return is around 3 hours 35 minutes. Several October, November and December dates are available, giving this deal a strong Northern Lights and winter Iceland angle.
The big difference is baggage. With many ultra-low-cost carriers, the
advertised fare may include only a very small under-seat bag. Once you
add a proper cabin bag, the real total can jump quickly.
This Icelandair fare already includes cabin baggage, which makes the
price easier to trust and the deal more practical for a winter trip to
Iceland.
Iceland is not a cheap destination once you arrive. Before booking,
check hotel prices, car hire, transfers, tours, winter road conditions
and baggage rules.
Also remember that the Northern Lights are never guaranteed. You need
darkness, clear skies and solar activity.
Best for: travellers who want a direct winter Iceland escape with cabin baggage included.
Less ideal for: travellers looking for a very cheap total holiday, because Iceland hotels, food, tours and transport can be expensive.
Dino’s advice: this is definitely publishable. The cabin bag included is the key selling point and makes this stronger than many cheap-looking Wizz-style Iceland fares.

Where to stay in Reykjavik: Iceland is expensive, but there is still value
Iceland is not a cheap destination, and accommodation is no exception. Even simple hotels and guesthouses in Reykjavik can feel expensive compared with many other European city breaks, so it is important to check the hotel side before booking the flight.
For our sample search from 11 December to 17 December, we found a few basic guesthouse-style options from around €100 per night. By Icelandic standards, that is not too bad — especially when travelling as a couple, where it works out at around €50 per person per night.
If your budget allows a little more flexibility, our tip is to look for a hotel that includes breakfast. Eating out in Iceland can be expensive, so a good breakfast included in the rate can make the overall trip cost feel much more manageable.
Hotels such as Storm Hotel by Keahotels and Reykjavik Lights Hotel often receive very good reviews and can still offer relatively affordable rates with breakfast included, depending on the dates. For a winter Iceland trip, that combination of good reviews, practical location and breakfast included can be worth paying slightly more for.
Dino tip: do not choose your Reykjavik hotel only by the nightly price. Check whether breakfast is included, how close it is to tour pick-up points, whether airport-bus transfers stop nearby, and how easy it will be to reach the city centre in winter conditions.
