Airport launches route to Iceland

An opportunity to go off the beaten track is being offered to Yorkshire holidaymakers with new Arctic experiences being launched by Super Break and Leeds Bradford Airport.

Leeds Bradford Airport is one of the first airports in the country to fly direct to Akureyri in North Iceland.

In Akureyri, Iceland’s lively second city, travellers can visit volcanoes, enjoy a lava walk, see the Northern Lights, or experience a beer spa.

All Super Break trips to Akureyri also include a Lake Myvatn Adventure – Land of Fire and Ice Tour, which includes the chance to see the region’s many magical terrains, the Goddafoss Waterfall, the boiling mud pools of Namafjall and a stop at Vogafjos working farm. There is also the opportunity to visit Myvatn Nature Baths – the ‘Blue Lagoon of the North’ or take part in a snowmobiling experience.

Inaugural flights take off in February 2018 from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Emma Holliday, aviation sales manager at LBA, said: “We’re really pleased that Super Break are adding this fantastic package to our Winter programme for 2018. This trip will be such a special opportunity for holidaymakers from across Yorkshire to explore an amazing part of the world. We’re sure it’ll be a popular choice for people wanting a short break with a difference and we look forward to welcoming people in February as they depart for Akureyri – a brand new destination for LBA.”
