Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Nov is the cheapest for DXB → KEF. Best time to be there: Jun–Aug · Feb–Mar (aurora).
Fares bottom out in November around $493 and peak in September near $861 — a $368 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 12.5 hours outbound, on a 8-night trip — ticketed under Wizz Air Malta, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $493 for 6,920 km each way, that works out to about $36 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Of the 8 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Reykjavík, this is the cheapest right now — 26% under the next one, Abu Dhabi. For context, the middle fare among the 26 routes of similar length we watch out of Dubai is $468.

How far in advance should I book DXB → Reykjavík?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Dubai to Reykjavík?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Wizz Air Malta. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
