Iceland Express, the low fares carrier, is presenting a sale on airfare for British music lovers who are looking for options to see two of the nation's biggest celebrities live in concert. This is a great chance and passengers should not miss it for any reason.

On the 28th of June, Sigur Ros and Bjork are performing at a free, open-air concert in an attempt to help raising awareness about environmental issues related to the isolated Atlantic island.

And, in order to encourage the UK fans of the stars to be a part of the special event, the budget carrier Iceland Express is presenting one-way tickets to the capital city of Reykjavik for a price of just £69. This is a great chance for passengers if they want to travel to this special eco-concert as Iceland Express is providing a very unique opportunity.

With effect from 16th September 2008, Iceland Express has decided to offer its services five times a week between London Gatwick and Reykjavik. This move comes in addition to a winter flying programme including a daily service connecting London Stansted and Reykjavik. The new flights are scheduled to operate on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday with departures from Gatwick at 2100 to reach Keflavik International Airport at 2300. The return flights are scheduled to leave Keflavik at 1605 to arrive at Gatwick at 2000.

Birna Guðmundsdóttir, the Marketing Manager remarked, "We have just celebrated five years of flying into Stansted where we have created a very loyal and local passenger base with our unique blend of good fares and consistent service. We have wanted to expand into Gatwick for some time and the decision by British Airways to suspend their services to Reykjavik earlier this year means that the time is now right to do so. As with our Stansted service, we are looking for a mix of both business and leisure passengers who book directly through our award winning web site (IcelandExpress.com) plus those who prefer to use either a travel agent or a Tour Operator."

Iceland Express is already working in close quarters with several specialist Tour Operators to Iceland to see that the new Gatwick service of Iceland Express is featured in the future programs of these companies. The company makes available special tour operator fares in addition to attractive group rates.

Iceland Express is going to increase the number of its flights between London Stansted and Kefalavik, which is located in the south-west of Iceland. This is welcome news for passengers, as now they have more variety of flights going to Kefalavik. They can plan their trip with more options of schedules and fare.

From the 26th of February, 2008, the carrier will offer 11 flights in a week between the two destinations, which is two flights more than the flights in the summer schedule. Prices of these flights will start from just £69 one-way, including all the taxes and charges. So, this is a sort of winter bonanza for passengers.

The decision to add more flights on this route has come about partly because UK based airline British Airways has decided to suspend its services between London Gatwick and Iceland. So, it serves as the compliment services to Iceland for passengers visiting the country provided by the Iceland Express.
