Top tips for finding cheap flights to Iceland

  • The Portland International Airport (PDX) is a secondary hub for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air. The Reykjavik Keflavic International Airport (KEF) is a hub for Icelandair and others. Once you land at KEF from an international origin, chances are that you will have to go to Reykjavik City Airport (RKV), which is about 45min to the northeast of KEF, in order to catch a domestic flight to elsewhere in Iceland.
  • One popular route from PDX to KEF is to take an Icelandair flight that stops in Seattle. Another popular option is to take a journey that begins on Alaska Airlines and switches to Icelandair in Seattle. Another option is to take a Finnair flight that switches to an EasyJet in London.
  • There are more options for routes from Portland to Reykjavik when there are two stops along the way. For instance, Lufthansa and Air Canada flights stop in Vancouver and Frankfurt. Also, flights that begin on Alaska Airlines stop in Seattle and Baltimore.
  • Most flights from Portland land in Reykjavik, which is on the southwest coast of Iceland. You can purchase a ticket from Portland to Akureyri in north central Iceland or to Eglisstaoir in the east of Iceland, but you will have to fly through Reykjavik first and change airports from KEF to RVK. From KEF, you can take a taxi or take a Flybus to the city center and then another Flybus to RKV.
  • As you wait for your flight to Iceland, keep an eye out for the PDX therapy dogs. PDX has more than 20 teams of therapy dogs with their trained handlers. These teams roam departures seeking to offer distraction, comfort, and delight to travelers. Passengers are encouraged to pet, cuddle, and smooch these dogs.

I cancelled this flight over a week ago, due to being in the hospital! Yet when I finally recovered and got out of the hospital I saw no one ever cancelled it and I was fully charged???

I cancelled this flight over a week ago, due to being in the hospital! Yet when I finally recovered and got out of the hospital I saw no one ever cancelled it and I was fully charged???

Liked direct flight options. Boarding is easy. Assigned seats, plenty of overhead bin space. Smooth flights, crew was helpful and friendly.

The staff's friendliness and helpfulness make a good impression.

I am truely disappointed in the delays. I have been flying Alaska Airlines for years and years and have always had the most amazing experiences. Not what has happened with being on time. Flying from SAN to PDX delayed. Then .PRX to SAN delayed,

Still seems like Alaska Airlines is not doing a very good job of anticipating the number of carry on’s going in the overhead bins. I was asked to check mine not to find out there was actually(surprisingly)enough room for my small luggage in the overhead bins. In the past, I’ve seen PLENTY of items in the overhead bins that should be underneath peoples seats.

It seems like most of the time theres no room for my allowed carry on bag. People are putting their things in the overhead compartment that belong under the seat in front of them. Getting tired of that!

Flight boarded super late. Missed our departure window. Stuck on the runway for over an hour.

Worst travel day of my life. First bumped from our 7am flight—that we booked to ensure enough time to get to Chicago and get ready to go to a concert. Ended up on a flight 5hours later only to arrive in Chicago and spend 2 hours sitting in the tarmac. Missed the concert ($650 in tickets) and was too late to cancel the hotel ($500). I did receive a $200 voucher for the next Alaska ticket—soooo generous 👎. Would LOVE if Alaska reimbursed the $1000+that I am out!

Clean plane, friendly crew, on time and relatively easy boarding. We did have to switch departure gates in Portland, but got enough notice that it wasn't a big hassle. Only wish Alaska offered more flights from Kansas City.

The aircraft pumps heat into the cabin in warm weather. High, prolonged discomfort. Not okay to put customers through that. Time to upgrade their fleet.

We got stuck on the tarmac taxiing after landing early so we didn’t get off the plane until an hour later than we thought we would

Bus to plane was delayed for no apparent reason and our luggage was still on the belt when they shut it off. Took about 20 minutes to turn it back on to get our luggage.

I haven’t flown economy in over 20 years but it was not bad. Room by my feet for my bag and seat was roomy enough. Surprised in a good way.

Second flight in a row where the entertainment system is broken. 5 hour long flight with no entertainment and flight attendants did not seem interested in resolving the matter. Very shocked to be treated this poorly considering I paid for a first class experience and have Diamond Medallion status.

The service from the flight attendants were of supreme quality. They greeted and treated everyone with a wide smile. This is totally absent nowadays. Kudos to them!!!!

The aircraft interior is old and tired on this aircraft. The entertainment system never worked despite the crews attempt to reset the system.

My seat had no padding, it was literally plywood with a plastic cover. I could not change seats on my 10 hour flight. My excitement for this trip helped me deal with the pain.

The flight was great. The crew were a little terse about the size of my bag. It fit fine.

The flights were on time- Great service Would have liked more options for food choices.

The brakes on the A220 are sensitive and uncomfortably grabby

It was serviceable, nothing special but nothing awful on this leg.

the whole trip was smooth, and as comfortable as flying is these days. flight crew was friendly and very courteous and helpful.

Yet another flight in which beverage and snack service was skipped. Other that that, firmly mediocre. Landed early, to gate late due to congestion at the gates. Airline's fault or airports fault: unknown.

The flights were on time which was great give. It was holiday travel season and there’d been some weather issues. The only complaint and this is every time with United is the terrible seat design. The head rest is not built for comfort and having my neck bent forward for a cross country trip reminded me while I try not to take United flights as a rule.

This was a very average flight. The seat was out of alignment so more uncomfortable than usual. The cabin felt not well maintained. But I safely got where I needed to go.

We had a 90 minute delay due to equipment failure that was detected just before we took off. United rebooked my connecting flight.

Dinner was okay but the breakfast was not eatable on the flight San Francisco to Zurich.

This was a Lufthansa flight. Disappointing main meal. Very rough over Canada and arrival at FRA. IFE was almost unusable.

Poor seating comfort, seat cushion too thin, very uncomfortable. My luggage didi not make the flight due to equipment change. At least. United had it delivered the next day. I was without my toilet items for one day.

Flight cancelled because of the grounded 737s. United was good about it and got us onto a later Alaska Airlines flight to Oakland (not San Francisco as originally intended). Had to go through security again and my wife dropped her MacBook Pro, which broke, a $2,500 whoopsie. But we made it home.

Was hard to sleep, but other then that everything was good.

We got to the runway and had to go back to terminal to have plane worked on, which is fine, but the 40 minute connecting flight was already gone because of this delay and had to wait 5 hours to get on a different flight and only got a meal voucher which I didn’t see the email until after I had already ordered and paid for food. I feel I should be compensated.

Hard to figure out how to put back the seat, how to get the entertainment, how to upload passport docs. Also, a warning in the airport that food was all for purchase would have been helpful.

Horrible. My dad was recently hospitalized and diagnosed with lymphoma and Icelandair refused to refund flight even though I had a letter from his physician.

The WiFi wasn’t working, so no one could watch any entertainment for 5 hours. The plane also was delayed and did not leave, nor did the staff prioritize those with connecting flights to de-board first. Everyone with a connecting flight to Munich missed their flight by 5 minutes. Then the next flight to Munich was 14 hours later. The airport could not compensate us because the closest hotel was about 2 hours away. This did not seem like the truth. I was not pleased with this traveling experience.

I DO NOT recommend Iceland air...missed connecting flight.....paid for isle seat upgrade for health reasons...had to do that over....baggage left in the rain so clothes got soaked other items ruined....called customer * dont care* service

Damage May baggage and I report the airport agant and they see it

Crew was very friendly. Need lay flat beds! More snacks

Good. Rxception is the Entertainment - movies and TV shows all out of date…

I liked the crew but not the uncomfortable seats and lack of movie and tv selection.
