If you've ever dreamed of packing up and moving to Iceland, do it within the next two months and you won't have to pay for your flight there.

Iceland's WOW Air is giving away free flights to British citizens who are relocating to the nation before October 1.

The budget airline is fully reimbursing expats' departure tickets so they can fly for free from any UK airport - WOW Air serves London's Gatwick Airport, Bristol Airport, and Edinburgh Airport - to Keflavik International Airport in Iceland's capital, Reykjavik.

To get their ticket refunded, those planning to emigrate need to email MovingToIceland@wow.is with their booking reference, a photo of their passport page, and evidence that they're moving - for instance, a lease agreement, university acceptance letter, or proof of employment.

Though the country has a population of just 323,002, the airline doesn't seem to be offering the free flights as an incentive to get more people to move there.

"We wanted to show how hospital [sic] and welcoming Icelanders really are," WOW Air's CEO Skúli Mogensen told Travel + Leisure. "This was a fun and different way to do that."

Business Insider has contacted the airline for further information.
