Keflavík Airport is 50 km southwest of Reykjavík — three ways to get into the city.
Coaches depart from the arrivals hall within minutes of every flight landing. Stops at major Reykjavík hotels — the budget traveller's default.
Door-to-door comfort for groups or heavy luggage. Fixed rates mean no surprises, but cost multiples of the Flybus.
Desks are inside the terminal — pick up, fuel up, and head straight onto the Reykjanes peninsula. The recommended choice for any road trip.
50 km along the Reykjanes peninsula — the first taste of Iceland's lava fields and sweeping Atlantic views.

How to get the best deal on your Iceland flight.
June to August flights to Iceland sell out early. Prices spike sharply in April–May as late bookers compete for remaining seats.
May and September offer excellent conditions — highland roads open in late May, auroras return in September — with fares 25–40% lower than peak.
Icelandair lets transatlantic passengers stop in Iceland for up to 7 nights at no extra airfare cost. A remarkable deal if you're flying between North America and Europe.
