airBaltic introduces new exciting Tallinn to Reykjavik flights 2025
If you’ve been dreaming of swapping Tallinn’s medieval towers for Iceland’s otherworldly landscapes, airBaltic has heard you loud and clear. The airline has just launched its brand-new, direct Tallinn to Reykjavik route — meaning you can now trade cobbled streets for lava fields in about three and a half hours.
The new service takes off twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with return flights from Reykjavik on Thursdays and Sundays — perfect for a cheeky long weekend or a full-blown Icelandic adventure.
It’s not just great news for Estonia’s wannabe explorers — this is the first time in years Tallinn has enjoyed a direct connection to Iceland. No more awkward layovers or watching your connection disappear because your croissant in Copenhagen took a little too long. Now it’s Tallinn straight to Reykjavik, easy as that.

A hot ticket to the land of fire and ice
This is actually airBaltic’s second route to Iceland — they’ve been flying from Riga to Reykjavik for a while now — but Tallinn getting in on the action is a real boost for Estonian travellers.
Let’s be honest, Iceland’s been sitting near the top of every bucket list for years. Whether it’s those stunning waterfalls, the famous Blue Lagoon, or simply the bragging rights of having seen the midnight sun, there’s something magnetic about the place.
And with this summer-only route running right up until the end of August, now is the perfect time to go before the snow (and the prices) pile back up.
Flying with flair (and fast Wi-Fi)
The route is operated by airBaltic’s fancy Airbus A220-300 — a shiny, quiet and very comfortable aircraft that’s quickly become a hit with passengers.
You can pick between Economy and Business Class (or as we call it, Instagram Class and Champagne Class). And for those of us who can’t bear to be offline — great news — the plane comes with free, fast Wi-Fi powered by SpaceX Starlink.
Yes, that means you can post your Iceland photos before you even land. Or catch up on your favourite show while soaring over the North Atlantic. Multitasking at 39,000 feet — what’s not to love?
Part of a Baltic takeover
This isn’t just about one new route — airBaltic is clearly beefing up its Tallinn operation. With Reykjavik now on the map, the airline has 22 direct summer destinations from Tallinn — including hotspots like Paris, Malaga, Rome and even Rhodes for those craving more Mediterranean vibes.
According to airBaltic’s ever-enthusiastic VP Mantas Vrubliauskas, this Iceland route is another step in the airline’s big push to grow across Estonia and the Baltics.
“We’re committed to offering more choice to our passengers,” he said. “Tallinn to Reykjavik is another exciting link in our growing European network.” Translation: They’re making sure you never run out of cool places to go.
Why this matters (besides the Instagram shots)
Aside from the obvious — Iceland is stunning — this is genuinely a game-changer for Estonian travellers. No more awkward multi-leg journeys — just one smooth flight and you’re there.
And Iceland really does deliver: volcanic landscapes, geysers, glaciers, whale-watching, puffins, incredible food (hello, lamb stew), and those famous hot dogs you’ll hear everyone talking about.
Plus, Estonia and Iceland feel like natural travel buddies — small nations, big nature, cool capital cities with even cooler locals. You’ll fit right in.
When to go
The route runs till late August — which means now is the time to snap up a ticket. With just two flights a week, you’ll want to book early to avoid missing out.
So whether you’re craving hot springs, northern lights, or just a good excuse for an adventure — Reykjavik is now just one hop away. Time to pack that camera and your best woolly hat — Iceland awaits!
