Travel from Liverpool John Lennon Airport is getting a magical winter upgrade, making it easier than ever for local families and adventurers to head off on a dream holiday.
easyJet has today announced the launch of two brand new Winter routes from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, with flights to Reykjavik and Kittilä now officially on sale.
Flights to Reykjavik will start on 2nd November 2026 and operate twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, which is ideal for anyone looking to book a memorable long weekend away.
Meanwhile, flights to Kittilä in Lapland will begin on 25th November 2026 and operate twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, providing customers with even more choice of winter destinations direct from Liverpool.
The addition of Reykjavik, which serves as the ultimate gateway to Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, and Kittilä in Finnish Lapland, offers customers the perfect options for a winter escape, whether seeking natural wonders or magical festive experiences.
Reykjavik offers visitors the chance to explore breathtaking geysers, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes, as well as relax in world-famous geothermal lagoons such as the Blue Lagoon.
The Icelandic capital is also renowned as one of the standout locations on the planet to witness the spectacular Northern Lights in person.
For those looking for a festive adventure, Kittilä is located right in the heart of Lapland and offers a true winter wonderland experience, from snow-covered forests and Northern Lights to husky sledging, snowmobiling, and skiing in nearby Levi.
The stunning destination is especially popular with families looking to experience the magic of the festive season and meet Father Christmas in his home territory.
