How Much Do Flights to Faroe Islands Cost in 2026?

The cheapest base fares start at €218 (Atlantic Airways CPH→FAE) for October travel, but only include a carry-on. Icelandair’s €299 base fare includes one checked bag (FAE→CPH), making it 22% cheaper overall than SAS’s €359 when factoring in bag fees. I paid €218 for a CPH→FAE flight on Atlantic Airways in October 2024, booking 52 days ahead. Prices spike 31% during the Faroe Islands Music Festival in August.

Airline (IATA)	Route	Base Fare (EUR)	Includes Checked Bag?	Total Avg. Cost (EUR)

Best Time to Book & Cheapest Months

Book 52 days before departure for 31% cheaper fares on Atlantic Airways (e.g., October flights average €218 vs €315 in August). October is 43% cheaper than peak summer (July), with average prices dropping to €218. Icelandair’s KEF→FAE routes are cheapest in November (€249) due to low demand. Avoid booking after July 15 for summer travel—prices jump 22% within two weeks.

Watch Out For: Hidden Fees & Traps

Atlantic Airways’ base fare excludes checked bags, charging €10 at the airport (not shown in initial search results). I discovered this when my €218 booking required an extra €10 for a 20kg bag in 2024. SAS adds a €15 "baggage fee" to its base fare, while Icelandair’s included bag allowance is only for one piece under 23kg. Never assume bags are included—verify at checkout.

All flights arrive at Vágar Airport (FAE). From FAE, buses run hourly to Tórshavn (45 minutes, €12.50). A taxi costs €65 to Tórshavn (30 minutes). Copenhagen’s airport code is CPH; Reykjavik’s is KEF (Icelandair’s hub). Transfer time from CPH to FAE averages 3h 15m with one stop.
