Teesside Airport announces “spectacular” Icelandic excursion ahead of busy 2023

A winter flight from Teesside will offer a unique chance to sample the “stunning scenery and natural phenomena” of Iceland.

Bookings for the one-off flight to Iceland with Premier Holidays are now open. The charter will jet off on Thursday, November 30 before returning on Monday, December 4.

The package, bookable through Fairs-Lloyds Travel, will see passengers taken to the Storm Hotel, by KEAHotels, in Reykjavik, for their four-night stay. The “spectacular” trip includes a Northern Lights cruise where passengers have an opportunity to see the Aurora Borealis from a 360-degree viewing platform.

There will also be a visit to the mineral-rich waters of the unique Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, and a scenic journey around south-west Iceland’s Golden Circle, including a snowmobile excursion, to cap off the package.

This latest opportunity comes hot on the heels of more winter excursions being announced from Teesside, including Transun’s popular Winter Wonderland trip to Lapland on December 23, and Newmarket Holidays operating a Lapland Santa Experience day trip on December 12.

Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen commented: “We’ve secured more great summer routes from Teesside, with a doubling of our Palma flights this year, and a TUI route to Dalaman in 2024. But it’s also great to see more incredibly popular winter opportunities opening up for our passengers.

“This latest opportunity shows we’re working hard to attract and host flights to new destinations all year round. Fairs-Lloyds have operated from our airport for years, and their support, alongside many other travel agents, helps to give people from across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool exactly what they want from their local airport.

“With passenger numbers on the up, our freight facility up and running, and our business park coming together, 2023 promises to be a superb year for our airport.”

Melanie Fairs, of Fairs-Lloyds, added: “This charter offers a wonderful chance for people to experience the truly stunning landscapes of Iceland, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer this Premier Holidays trip for 2023.

“We’ve got some brilliant packages available to all destinations served by Teesside Airport, so we’d encourage everyone to get in touch with us to find out more.”
