It’s interesting you say it’s expensive to fly to. We went last year from the US on our way to Poland because it was cheaper to fly to Iceland and then take a Wizz air than to fly through Frankfurt. And I’m talking a 50% savings. It’s cheaper for us to fly to Iceland from the east coast than to fly to Dallas.

- busterarm 3y agoYears ago it was shockingly cheap, but I still found local lodging and eating out expensive. My last trip was in 2009 for EVE Fanfest and a week-long stay in a hotel on Laugavegur ran me around $5k USD. Most other trips for same length of stay at that time were running me half that or less.
- avar 3y agoIceland's expensive, but saying it's expensive because a hotel on Laugarvegur is expensive is like saying America's expensive because a hotel within walking distance of Times Square is expensive.
- MrDresden 3y agoAdd to that story that Iceland was in a deep economic slump after the financial meltdown when you arrived in 2009. The currency was cheap for anyone to buy. You can imagine how the cost would be now after the economy has recovered since then, plus at least 10% inflation.
