FAQs - booking Iceland flights

  • How do I get to Reykjavik City from Keflavik Airport?

    Arriving passengers on flights from the US to Iceland can take the Straeto Routs 55 bus, which provides daily service to the Reykjavik City, or ride Flybus shuttle to Reykjavik Bus Terminal (BSI). Otherwise, you can rent a car or take a taxi downtown.

  • How can I visit the Blue Lagoon?

    The heated water of the Blue Lagoon is world famous for its restorative and healing properties and is one of the biggest attractions on the island. The lagoon and spa are located near Grindavik, about 20m south of Keflavik Airport by car, so it’s very easy to visit after your flight and enjoy a relaxing swim in the turquoise water.

  • Can I buy local currency at Keflavik Airport?

    Yes, you can. The local currency is the Icelandic Krona and there is a branch of Arion Bank in the Arrivals Hall at Keflavik Airport where you can exchange your dollars or make other financial transactions after your flight from the US to Iceland. The bank is open daily until midnight local time for your convenience.

  • Where should I fly if I wish to view the Aurora Borealis?

    The Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, is the world’s most spectacular light show and is visible just about anywhere in Iceland with a clear view of the night sky just as long as it’s not snowing. Flying into Reykjavik is sufficient.

  • What nearby cities are reachable from Keflavik International Airport (KEF) once I arrive in Iceland?

    It is straightforward to get to other nearby cities served by KEF Airport via a cab, a rental car, or bus services. Njardvik, Hafnir, and Sandgerdi are three additional nearby cities that you might probably visit while in Iceland in addition to Keflavik.

  • What child safety regulations must I be aware of before I rent a car in Iceland?

    Iceland mandates that a child travels in a child seat with a five-point harness until they are large enough to ride in a booster. Additionally, the child seat must be facing backward until the child is at least one year old; rear-facing seats are advised until the child is three.

  • Are there any airport lounges on flight routes between Iceland and the United States?

    Yes. If they wish to use airport lounges before boarding their preferred carriers, travelers going to Iceland from the US need to consider flying out of Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). The Delta Sky Club is an airport's economy lounge located in Terminal 1 of this airport. This lounge is easily accessible to travelers on a tight budget who are flying from the US to Iceland.

  • How can I board the first plane departing Stewart International Airport (SWF) on the SWF-KEF route?

    Consider making a hotel reservation at a location closest to the airport if you plan to take the first flight from SWF to Iceland. A nearby hotel worth considering is Homewood Suites by Hilton Newburgh-Stewart Airport, which is located 2 minutes from the main terminal.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United States to Iceland?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United States to Iceland.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United States to Iceland?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from the United States to Iceland is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United States to Iceland?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly from the United States to Iceland with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United States to Iceland?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United States to Iceland up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Iceland

  • Looking for cheap airfare to Iceland? 25% of our users found round-trip tickets to Iceland for the following prices or less: From Boston $1,059, from Miami $1,182
  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Iceland flight deals.
  • US citizens booking flights from the US to Iceland do not require a visa in order to travel. Iceland is part of the Schengen program, therefore US permanent residents from EU countries that are members of the Schengen zone also do not require a visa.
  • Keflavik International Airport (KEF) is the only international gateway to Iceland and is situated at the southwestern tip of the island. This airport is used mainly for international flights so if you wish to fly to other areas of the country, you must use Reykjavik Airport (RKV), which is about 2 mi from Reykjavik City.
  • There are only a handful of airlines that offer nonstop flights to Iceland from the United States and all of them originate from cities on the Eastern seaboard. Icelandair flies direct from JFK in New York and Newark’s EWR while JetBlue flies nonstop from Logan International Airport (BOS) in Boston.
  • Air Iceland is the country’s main domestic carrier and uses Reykjavik Airport as its hub. If you prefer to fly around the country, you can fly Air Iceland to other regional airports such as Raufarhofn Airport (RFN), which services the Northeastern Region of the country, and Isafjordhur Airport (IFJ) if you are traveling to the West Fjords area.
  • Iceland is a nature lover’s paradise and no trip is truly complete without a visit to Snaefellsjokull National Park, which is home to a glacier, volcanic lava fields and various local wildlife. The park is found in the outer reaches of the Western Region, not far from Hellisandur, and once you fly into Keflavik Airport, it will take you about 4h to get there by car.
  • Reykjavik Airport (RKV) is widely chosen as the arrival airport among most travelers flying to Iceland from the US thanks to its closeness to Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland. Passengers flying this route out of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) have the choice of flying on indirect flights with one layover at Copenhagen Airport (CPH) on such airlines as Air Canada, Air France, or American Airways.
  • Most tourists from the east coast areas of the United States who wish to travel to Iceland depart from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and arrive at one of the airports in Iceland. Tourists who wish to travel from the US to Iceland as swiftly as possible might consider the JFK to Keflavik International Airport (KEF) route. Icelandair 612 and Icelandair 614 are the two principal airlines that offer nonstop flight services on this route.
  • Consider flying from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) if you plan to fly to Iceland from the central parts of the United States. No airlines are offering nonstop services on this route, leaving customers flying from the USA to Iceland with only the option of taking connecting flights.
  • Most Americans who travel to Iceland frequently prefer to fly out of JFK. Since it acts as a hub for so many respected airlines that fly abroad from the United States, this airport is well-liked. Travelers leaving from this airport towards Iceland are likely to enjoy ticket discounts due to price competition among airlines.
  • If you're coming from the northwest region of the United States to Iceland, you might want to consider departing from Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Consider flying into Akureyri International Airport (AEY) if you want to leave SEA Airport as quickly as possible. On this route, one-stop indirect flights with a layover at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) are offered by the majority of carriers, like Lufthansa and Air Canada.

My issue is not with Alaska for but with the travel agency. The fact that i can't change my flight online, means that using you as a travel agency is a net negative. I only do it because I am forced to, but I am not happy about it.

My issue is not with Alaska for but with the travel agency. The fact that i can't change my flight online, means that using you as a travel agency is a net negative. I only do it because I am forced to, but I am not happy about it.

Customer service of one flight attendant, impersonal to asking questions

Great and comfortable aircraft. Good food and the staff was amazing

Part of the first class package is luggage. We checked our luggage in easily but our luggage should be one of the first bags off when we land. On both flights this was not the case. The lounge in Kauai is awful. Food and drinks were excellent on the flight. Service was attentive. On the flight over we arrived 45 minutes early. Like last time the same thing happened in a previous flight. The problem both times was waiting in the plane for 30 minutes so that a spot to unload could open.

There were 5 delays IN TOTAL there and back. And we got a $12 food voucher, RIDICULOUS. Will never fly Alaska again!

Initial flight was delayed, which caused me to miss my only connecting flight.

We had the bulkhead seats in back of the first class section and there was a rigid plastic barrier which made it very hard to get in and out of our seats. We paid extra for the bulkhead and got neither extra room nor he's getting up. We were very disappointed.

Flight was good. The food I preordered was not great. The sandwich bread was a little hard, the cheese was wet on half and dry on the other half. There was a lot of condensation inside the package. Other than that it was great.

The flight was late, almost missed my connecting flight. There was no communication from the crew and when I asked the flight attendant I received no assistance. Terrible flight!!!!

The aisles were very narrow for passing and too long to get to the restrooms. You asked to check carryons at boarding, but the bag was not at the luggage carousels on arrival and no information given as to where to pick them up.

Everything about this flight was good except for the very end when I reached my destination. Everyone from the tune to the wheelchair escorts were great with the case were great but I miss you with people at the check in this at the very end. I need help from the chicken desk because I forgot my pillow on the plane The female worker at the chicken desk said that they found my pillow and she was going to retrieve it for me. She left a 30 minutes without any update and her so she saw me walking back and forth waiting for her and they didn't even bother calling her or radioing her for any updates. They were busy because they were behind schedule and they were overwhelmed but thanks because at least glanced me and try to give me an update just a quick radio check or phone call. I don't care about the pillow but if you tell me to wait, I waited for at least half an hour before I said something and I just left because they wouldn't bother talking to me so I could, so everything's going in the review. I took pictures of the two men that were left working at the check-in counter. The totally ignored me despite the signals I've been giving them. I don't see any offers in the kayak review to add pictures or screenshots so I'm going to post another review I don't know their name but I'm pretty sure Delta will find other names when they see the review. Google with pictures. There was another guy at the chicken counter bring an orange workers vest who finally left after telling me that the girl that was retrieving my pillow is working the gates now. That would have been if they just told me that's what happened. But I had no update. Make me wait for nothing. Thank you Delta airlines!

We had a great experience with Delta. They helped us from the start at the kiosk all the way to our final destination, including help reassigning and upgrading our seats free of charge at the gates, escorts with the wheelchair for my brother and even getting our luggage at baggage claim for us. I also had special help because I forgot my pillow on the plane. The wheelchair escort contacted for associates at the check-in desk all the way back to the plane and retrieved my pillow for me.

Crew was real good, flight was smooth and came in early.

The CRJ-900 was clean but the overhead air vents were broken in our First Class row, making the cabin very hot until about 30 mins into the flight. The flight attendants were both extremely apologetic and accommodating though so that is why I rated the flight as very good. They checked on us many times and truly showed they cared. The snacks for an hour and a half flight could be better. Would be nice if there was a small plated meal over convenient store snacks. WiFi also was not working. And it would be nice if Delta had adjustable headrests on these planes.

New high end luggage ruined/zippers broken, items missing. All happened on return flight from msp to mso. Do better! Not store bought luggage but high end personalized ogio custom embroidered luggage. Total slap in the face ontop of an extra luggage fee that took me 3 hrs on chat to resolve.

It was as good as it could be. Flying is not a pleasant experience these days.

The plane was old and thus the seats were not good. No cushion left whatsoever, and it all was a bit worn out.

I was in Comfort and we didn’t get any drinks, chips or anything! First Class got full service on the flight and Comfort got nothing. Seat was horrible and uncomfortable

My flight was delayed by 4 hours in 30 minute increments. The gate agents were amazing but the communication was not. We were told that there was a maintenance issue but they didn't know what it was. That didn't inspire confidence. Then they said they found it and it was fixed and the pilot just needed to sign off. Then the pilot needed to talk to the other pilot from the arriving flight and we'd be fine. Then we were waiting for the pilot to call back. Then the maintenance issue wasn't fixed. Then they decided we were getting a new plane (why didn't they decide this earlier??). Fine. But then they announced we were changing gates AND terminals. And we were boarding in 20 minutes. So we all had to run to the new terminal gate. We could have taken off at that time, but we then had to wait for all the people who rebooked on a different flight to book this flight again. That took 30+ minutes because there was only one gate agent. When everyone ditched this flight, I saw it as an opportunity to upgrade to comfort. Delta, the greedy jerks they are, charged me $121. After their delay, their fault, their issues, couldn't even discount an upgrade. They only handed out $12 meal vouchers for the delay. I can't even get a snack from starbucks for that.

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

Know that the movies that you are going to be offered are the oldest be rated movies they could possibly get. They may have one or two new movies that they keep advertising but when you’re flying 15 hours, there is nothing to see past the first new movie.

Staff could’ve been a little more cordial. The men were much more friendlier than the women. My daughter and I also missed the 2nd to last meal as we were sleeping but that is on us.

Great staff. Clean plane, but we were delayed for more than an hour due to maintenance issues and had to board another plane.

I was very disappointed with my experience at the United Airlines baggage check. The representative was rude and unhelpful. I was required to remove approximately 1.5 pounds from my two checked bags, even though it was a very small amount over the limit. The interaction was unnecessarily unpleasant, and I expected much better customer service. I hope United will review this incident and provide additional customer service training to its staff.

No extra snacks were available. Meals quality is terrible. Crew was not friendly.

I was exhausted from a long day. The flight was smooth. The first flight during my 3 week travel that took off on time.

Agents at gate were not immediately available to solve problems and once they did they didn’t fix all the fight connections

1 flight cancelled Had to fly out of different city Flight at new departure city was delayed 3 hours causing us to miss connecting flights. By the time we did make it to Prague our luggage did not. Had to wait day and a half for luggage to be delivered. Customer service was not good. Agents did not arrive at gate until 5-10 minutes before boarding

I needed internet for critical matters and it never worked.

United cancelled the flight after a 2 hour delay. The only choice was a 24 hour delay which was then 3 hours delayed.

One small cup of warm soda for a 4 hour flight. Disinterested, unfriendly flight attendants

Food was great, I wished there was better options for movies.

Multiple delays and flight cancellations meant that I arrived five and a half hours late at my destination. There was limited communication from the airline. The airline left my checked bag at my departure city and stopped tracking it almost immediately. The airline has made no apparent effort to return my bag despite filing a report, and has provided no communication or ability to check on the status of the bag.

737-8 Max is an awful design. Toilets in the rear are inaccessible for most of the flight due to service carts.

I'm 6'8" (2.03m) so more legroom would alwqys be appreciated, especially on long international flights. The food choices were underwhelming.

Food was bad, and they used plastic for everything. For the amount we spent, it felt cheap and as if they were doing us a favor. They need to focus on true user delight, like other airlines such as Emirates, Cathay Pacific, and KLM do, and go above and beyond in terms of cabin facilities and passenger amenities (Earbuds, pillows, blankets were just cheap and completely useless)

Food options were ok but the actual meal was terrible. On my way back, they simply said that there was no vegetarian option; somehow they struggled to get one meal and did not give me any breakfast at all which in my opinion was terrible. Never had such an experience in the recent years.

1didnt have wheel chair I ordered wheel chair in my ticket flight

Flight was overbooked and seats assigned to multiple passengers. Delay 1 hour to sort out.

Over an hour to check baggage. Baggage lost for over 3 days but was found and delivered to second hotel while on International tour. Seats were a tight fit when three people seated, On Air Canada Rouge plane no food and limited snacks. Air Canada plane better seats and snacks and food provided which was good.. Delayed ,Canceled flight and lost luggage experience, thus not a great rating.

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.

They cancelled our connecting flight resulting in another layover reaching our final destination 8 hours later than scheduled.

On-time arrivals and departures. Crew helpful and friendly. Yet everything costs extra: seat selection, food, even airphones!

Second time with Saga Premium, everything was fab, but the entertainment centre on both my flights didn't work, plus the seat on the NY to Rek flight (Airbus) was so solid and so uncomfortable. The 737Max flight's seat was much, much better.

The staff was kind and helpful. There was no food, and you needed to bring your own earphones to use the entertainment, which I didn’t know.

Delays at check-in, seemed like they were short ground staff at the time and some passengers needed extra processing.

Food - Non-Existent. You pay for everything. It is strictly Pay-to-Play!

It was too cold in the plane my feet froze
