Every so often, Jack Sheldon from Jack’s Flight Club selects a flight deal from the UK for Independent readers that you can’t afford to miss. This week: return flights to Iceland for under £60.

Fantastic fares to Iceland are on sale from easyJet, with departures across the UK.

EasyJet has just released its winter fares and is offering discounts for those travelling in pairs, so to see the lowest fares make sure you add a second passenger when searching.

September to April is the best time to see the Northern Lights, which lines up nicely with the dates covered in this deal.

How to book

Head to Google Flights and enter your departure airport from the list below and Reykjavik as the destination.

Importantly, to see the lowest prices you’ll need to select two passengers travelling. The prices then shown will be the total for both. You may want to add an “easyJet” filter to the “Airlines” option to help find the dates included in this deal.

Use Google Flights’ calendar tool to help you highlight the best travel dates (they’ll show up in green).

This one is best booked directly with the airline and Google Flights will provide you a link to book with easyJet.

Pro tip

Iceland’s mountainous “F-Roads” are the best way to see the country, but make sure to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle to explore them.
