There is exciting news for Northern Lights seekers this winter, as easyJet has announced new direct routes from the UK to some of the best aurora viewing destinations in Finland and Iceland.
The airline’s winter expansion includes new flights from London Luton and Liverpool to Kittilä in Finnish Lapland, a new Newcastle to Rovaniemi service, and a new Liverpool to Reykjavik route in Iceland.
For travellers planning a Northern Lights holiday, these new connections mean greater choice, improved accessibility and more opportunities to reach the Arctic with ease.
More Direct Access to Finnish Lapland
Finnish Lapland remains one of the world’s premier destinations for witnessing the Northern Lights. With long, dark winter nights and minimal light pollution, the region offers excellent opportunities to experience the aurora borealis in spectacular surroundings.
The new routes to Kittilä provide direct access to some of Lapland’s most sought after destinations, including Levi and the surrounding wilderness areas. Visitors can combine Northern Lights hunting with unforgettable winter experiences; husky sledding, snowmobiling and reindeer safaris.
Meanwhile, easyJet’s new Newcastle to Rovaniemi service offers another convenient gateway to the Arctic. Located on the edge of the Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi is perfectly positioned for aurora viewing throughout the winter season.
Iceland Continues to Shine
The addition of a new Liverpool to Reykjavik route is also welcome news for Northern Lights enthusiasts.
Iceland has long been one of the most popular destinations for aurora hunters, thanks to its accessible location, dramatic landscapes and strong winter tourism infrastructure. From lava fields and black sand beaches to frozen waterfalls and geothermal lagoons, Iceland provides a truly unique backdrop for Northern Lights displays.
With direct access from Liverpool, travellers in the North West now have an additional option for reaching one of Europe’s most iconic winter destinations.
More Choice for Aurora Travellers
The growing number of direct flights to Finland and Iceland reflects the continued popularity of Northern Lights holidays among UK travellers.
Additional regional departures mean shorter journeys, greater flexibility and more opportunities to experience one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles.
Whether you are dreaming of watching the aurora dance above the snowy forests of Lapland or illuminate Iceland’s dramatic volcanic landscapes, these new easyJet routes make a Northern Lights adventure more accessible than ever.
