Calling All Vikings (or Just Regular Tourists): Can You Philly Your Way to Iceland?
Ever dreamt of trading cheesesteaks for glaciers? Believe it or not, Iceland is a surprisingly popular getaway for Philadelphians (well, besides the Jersey Shore, that is). But the question remains: can you fly there in one shot, or are you stuck with a layover longer than a cheesesteak coma?
The Verdict: Buckle Up for a (Mostly) Direct Adventure!
Here's the good news: While there aren't currently any airlines offering scheduled direct flights (think: nonstop) from Philly (PHL) to Iceland's main Keflav�k International Airport (KEF) every single day, they were a thing in the past, and there's always a chance they'll return.
But fear not, intrepid traveler! Several airlines offer flights with just one layover, which isn't exactly roughing it. Icelandair, for example, is a popular option, and the total travel time is usually under 7 hours. That's less time than it takes to drive to some parts of Pennsylvania (looking at you, Erie).
So, How Do I Find a Flight to Iceland from Philly?
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
Here's where the fun part begins! There are tons of flight search engines and travel agent websites at your disposal. We recommend [travel search engines] to find the best deals on flights with layovers.
