What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Reykjavik for December 31 to January 1, 2027, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Restaurants close early on the 31st and the city goes quiet between 10.30 and midnight for the television show.
- Buy your own fireworks from the rescue teams' stalls; it is the way to join in.
- Keflavík airport is forty five minutes by bus to Reykjavík; nothing else runs after midnight on the night, so stay in town.
