      @ashleycullinane1881 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      We nearly did the same thing last year and begrudgingly started planning for this year. We bought tickets October 6 for $730 each. They had sat at $682 for months so we figured we needed to asap before they kept going up. And yep, I’ve been getting notifications about flights being between $1.5k-2k! So I suggest buying before October if you decide to go next year. Oh and I’m only talking about JetBlue/icelandair. Play was significantly less money but we figured after fees it wasn’t that much less and we’d rather book on an airline we are familiar with.

    • @WakeUpReykjavik.
      @WakeUpReykjavik. 4 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      oh wow, yes the flights to Iceland (and I think most places) really increase as the dates get closer! Another option would be to go for Summer 2025 - of Christmas/NYE 2026 booked with more notice and less price? 👀 Whatever you end up doing, I'm sure you'll love it here in Iceland when you do visit 🥳

    • @WakeUpReykjavik.
      @WakeUpReykjavik. วันที่ผ่านมา

      As we say in our videos, it's not ideal to drive in winter here since the days are darker, winds can be strong and the roads can be icy. However, winter temperatures and weather fluctuate - so you can be lucky and land on a nice week or unlucky and encounter storms. And there is no way to know this beforehand. So always be cautious and don't go out in situations you re not comfortable in! Or just do day tours and let the pros worry about all that stuff and just enjoy! ☺️

      March is a mixed month, definitely not warm but not freezing. The water is always super cold so that will never change but they would not do a tour in unsafe conditions ☺️

    That’s why if it’s handmade and local people making it, they should not be charged taxes. This is a good incentive for local to make it locally instead of ship to another country. If they ship it to another country you can charge them for import taxes. This is fair.

    The word meistari must have a very old origin, as the same word (mestari in Finnish) is used in Finland in a similar context. Mestari and meistari both translate directly into English as "master." Mestari is used both humorously and in its literal sense, though the latter is much less common.
