The fare shown on this page is the base ticket price. For a real cost comparison, add: checked baggage if needed (€10-30 on budget carriers), airport transfers at both ends, and any hotel nights. Cabin-bag-only packing is the simplest way to keep weekend trip costs honest - most low-cost carriers allow one small under-seat item free.
Weekend travel from Reykjavik tends to cluster around the same departure patterns - Friday evening out, Sunday evening back - which is exactly why those slots cost more. If your schedule allows a Monday-morning return instead of Sunday evening, you often unlock the same destinations for noticeably less without cutting the trip short. The extra night is sometimes cheaper than the premium Sunday flight.
Use the price calendar on any route page to confirm which month has the cheapest weekend fares to your chosen destination. Shoulder-season travel (May, early June, September, October) can be noticeably cheaper than peak-summer travel on many leisure routes from Reykjavik, while still offering suitable weather for a short city break.
