Icelandair flies direct to Iceland from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Glasgow, and British Airways from Heathrow, in about three hours. Iceland is on GMT all year, so it is on UK time in winter and an hour behind in British Summer Time. Sockets are the European two-pin kind. Install the eSIM before you go and you have data from Keflavík for the car hire, road and weather updates and aurora forecasts.
Iceland is in every big UK network's Europe zone, so your plan may already cover it - see the table below. An eSIM helps if your plan charges by the day or you will use a lot of data on a long road trip.
