Your Destination Airport

Keflavik International Airport (KEF)

Arriving in: There is only one main terminal building in KEF, all flights are directed here.

The Keflavik International Airport is the largest in Iceland, and it serves the greater Reykjavik area. It is well serviced, and offers passengers a currency exchange service, tourist information booths, access to a variety of restaurants and shops as well as free WiFi throughout the airport.

Transport

There are taxis that wait outside the terminal, though if you don’t want to wait long it’s worth ordering them in advance. However, be warned these are extremely expensive as the airport is a fair way out of the city, expect to pay 14000-15000ISK ($150-160). The Flybus is the much cheaper option and is still a fast service, costing between 2000-2500ISK ($22-26) depending on how far you are going. Please note that children travel for half price.

Many people travelling to Iceland opt to rent a car to drive around this beautiful country.  You can find Budget, Avis, Hertz and Europcar all operate out of the airport.

Do you need a form of identification?

Yes. This is an international flight, so you are required to carry your passport with you.

How long should you leave to get to the airport?

As this is an international European flight, it is recommended that you check in at least 120 minutes before the scheduled departure time for this flight. Please be aware that if you are travelling in a group, or are going on to a connecting flight, that you arrive 180 minutes before departure time. 

Things you need to know

Time difference: None.

Weather:  Iceland is a cool country on the whole, and temperatures never really become balmy. However, in summer (June-August) you can experience the incredible white nights that almost 24 hours of daylight can bring, expect the temperatures to stick around 13°C with occasional heat waves pushing it up to the late teens and early twenties.  This doesn’t mean you should dismiss the winter season though, as despite temperatures dropping to a frigid -3°C this is one of the best seasons to see the fantastical Northern Lights skein across the sky.

Reykjavik is expensive, but the prices aren’t so high as London. Expect a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant to cost about 10,000ISK ($105).
