I travelled on the first flight from Liverpool to Iceland and it was magical

Last week, a new airline touched down at Liverpool John Lennon airport, offering passengers the chance to fly from Liverpool to the USA via Iceland.

I was lucky enough to be on board PLAY airlines’ maiden flight to Reykjavik and spent the weekend soaking up the sights and sounds of Iceland’s capital. Now, full disclosure, I’m a horrendous flyer.

But when I do fly, I always find travelling from Liverpool helps put me at ease and, sure enough, I was through security and sampling the delights of the Kissing Gate within 15 minutes.
