Flight Lyon Reykjavik : Airline ticket

Lyon and the capital of Iceland are separated by approximately 2,620 kilometres. On average, the flight time between Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LYS) and Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is around 4 hours. This duration is indicative as several factors can either lengthen or shorten your flight time, including the choice of the airline, weather conditions, the date, and the time of the flight. The direction of your journey is also an important factor, with west-to-east flights typically being shorter at this latitude due to prevailing winds.

In the absence of a direct flight, the duration of your journey depends on the connecting airport and the duration of the stop-over. 

Lufthansa allows you to reach Reykjavik (KEF) from Lyon (LYS) with a stop-over at Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

British Airways also connects Lyon and Reykjavik with a stop-over at London Heathrow Airport (LHR).

Icelandair serves the Icelandic capital with a stop-over at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).

Austrian Airlines offers travel to Reykjavik via Vienna-Schwechat Airport (VIE). 

Reykjavik can be visited year-round and offers a different experience throughout the seasons.

Summer brings almost 24-hour daylight and relatively mild temperatures considering the high latitude. This season is ideal for hiking and exploring national parks.

Autumn offers beautiful orange hues, shorter days and the onset of cold weather starting in September. You'll experience a lower number of tourists. The shorter days provide a chance to witness the Northern Lights, with a bit of luck.

Winter is the season for experiencing the Northern Lights in Iceland. Reykjavik is covered in a white blanket of snow for a total change of scenery. It's a great time for activities like bathing in geothermal pools or engaging in winter sports such as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Spring marks the renewal of nature. This transitional season between winter and summer offers green landscapes. Days grow longer, and Reykjavik's colourful houses invite you to marvel under an increasingly present sun.
