Edinburgh Airport: Budget airline launches once-in-a-lifetime trips with flights to bucket list destination

Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks have announced details of their once-in-a-lifetime trips to Iceland for Winter 25/26 that include Northern Lights tours.

The carrier said there will be three dedicated trips in total, including a four-night trip on November 26, 2025, a four-night trip on February 4, 2026, and a three-night trip on February 8, 2026. Both the February trips are ideally timed for the February half-term schools holiday.

Thanks to its abundance of natural wonders and wide variety of sights to see, Iceland has continued to experience strong demand. From the world’s most northernmost capital, Reykjavik, to volcanic landscapes and the night skies featuring the spectacular Northern Lights, it is easy to see why Iceland is deemed a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
