Icelandair calls attention to its special Iceland flight program as temperatures start to dip to the negatives in Canada. The opportunity is perfect for "adventure-seeking Canadians" who want to escape the frigid winters in their country but want something different than the usual tropical climate destinations. Iceland is marketed as a "perfect fit" because its temperatures hover around zero while the country itself is ranked as "one of the world’s happiest countries."
There are no shortages of activities in Reykjavik, where the Iceland flight program takes you directly—from the Blue Lagoon which is one of the country's most iconic attractions to reconnecting with nature on a guided horseback riding tour. One may even catch the Northern Lights in January.
Icelandair also offers quick stopovers in the country for those with a final destination in Europe.
