Flights from Washington, D.C. to Iceland: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Washington, D.C. to Iceland 
Lei-SeaFlew with IcelandairIAD-KEFAug 2024
KEF is not like American airport, not a lot of seating and gate is announced when boarding starts so be prepared to move quickly. Food is good in airport and lots of seating around the food areas.
MilyFlew with PLAYIAD-KEFMar 2024
Come at least two hours earlier than your boarding time. These “discount” Icelandic airlines are barebones with instructions. Eat outside the airport beforehand. The food sold on Play is very overpriced.

FAQs - booking Iceland flights

  • Are there direct flights to Iceland?

In that case, you'll need to book a flight with Icelandair, a major Icelandic airline that offers direct routes from Washington Dulles and Reagan National to Keflavik International Airport.

  • Do U.S passport holders need a visa to travel to Iceland?

    U.S. passport holders may enter Iceland without a visa since Iceland is part of Schengen. However, the citizens can only remain in the country without a visa for up to 90 days and only if they are in Iceland as tourists or on business . All you need is to ensure that your passport is valid for a minimum of three months past your planned departure date and has two blank pages for the entry stamp.

  • Does Dulles International Airport have a lounge?

    Before a flight, relaxing and calming your body and mind is always good. Dulles Airport has airline lounges for Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic, where you can wait for your flight depending on your airline.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Iceland

  • Flying to Iceland means landing at Keflavik International Airport (KEF). Most international flights arrive at this airport, although Iceland has other airports like Reykjavik Airport (RKV). However, these airports are only for domestic flights. KEF serves Icelandic cities like Njardvik, Gardur, Sandgerdi, and Hafnir. If you want to visit cities like Reykjavik, you can take a connecting flight from KEF to RKV.
  • Flights from Washington D.C. are from either Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), or Baltimore Washington International (BWI). One benefit of flying from Reagan National is that the airport is close to the city, unlike Dulles, which is roughly 27 miles away. Therefore, it's easier to get to the airport, and you can enjoy breath-taking views when taking off.
  • If you're taking off from Dulles International Airport and have some time to spare as you wait for your flight, you can browse the public art on display at the airport. You'll find self-portraits of local children in Concourse C and the Wonders of Wonders display at the A-Gates of the AeroTrain Station.
  • Even as you're waiting for your flight to depart, your kids can still find a safe, fun way to get their energy out before boarding. Baltimore Washington Airport has a children's play area in the D/E Connector, which includes a play-structure where you can monitor safely.
  • One unique and common thing about Dulles, Reagan National, and Baltimore Washington is that the airports have meditation rooms where passengers can sit and relax in a quiet environment while waiting for their flight. Dulles has a chapel in concourse A, and Baltimore Washington has a meditation room near the D/E Security checkpoint.

Spend hours delayed with no food, water anything sitting on the aieplane with no ability to eat or use the restroom. My entire experience was the absolute worst. I will never fly jet Blue again.

It would have been nice if they had offered more than one set of snacks

Seats were not too comfortable; it was impossible to locate the underseat power outlet.

You get what you pay for with JetBlue. Every little thing costs more, you are nickel and dimed until the end. Entertainment doesn’t function. Flight attendants do the bare minimum.

The check in and boarding process was a bit of a cluster. Two people at the counter to check in, three random lines that nobody knew which was for what, and people kept getting shuffled from one line to another for no apparent reason because then they’d get shuffled back and end up getting out further back in the line than they were originally. I only had to hand my already checked bag over and it took 45 minutes. I was never assigned a seat so when I tried to board I was pulled out of line again while someone had to try to manually assign me a seat. During the flight I got up to go to the bathroom, and there was an attendant in the aisle offering pillows etc and it was a 30 min wait unbuckled standing by the bathrooms because she said I couldn’t go past her. First and last time flying jet blue to be honest.

Communication since no reason or explanation was given for 3 hrs delay

The flight departed more than 1 hour late. Leg room is bigger than most airlines

Flight was delayed several 3 hours - no reason was given and no communication what so ever.

No overhead baggage room even though I was seated in row 2. Consequently had to check in my carry on bag. Baggage carousel was jammed. Took 45 min to get my bag.

Excellent from start to finish. All staff members were amazing!

Everything was good. Only issue comes from being vegan and flying. The food options are super limited.

Overall good for an economy fare. IMO the movie selection could be improved. Great that you can now connect bluetooth headphones to the entertainment system.

For a four hour flight, I was disappointed that everything was for purchase except for coffee, tea, or water. The disembarking in Iceland was so inefficient and time-consuming. We landed and stopped in the middle of the tarmac, had to disembark in the rain, and then squeeze into a bus which took us to the airport. Crazy! How does that work in winter?

Paid for a Premium seat...minimal recline, no footrest. Maybe slightly wider than a cheap economy seat. Zero chance of getting any rest on this plane

Seats in premier saga class were narrow and hard. Very uncomfortable for a 5-hour flight.

Iceland airlines doesn't provide any meal on flight to and from New York, except water and soda. Airline over charge for checking in luggage. I'm really upset.

I had an exit row and so was Comfortable on the long flight.

For an economy lite experience, it's by far the best I've had. New planes, clean, great destinations. Very happy to have discovered Iceland Air.

Smooth efficient airline. Think they should have their own bag drop as the queue took 30mins to bmscan and drop

Good. Lacking overhead bin space. No food offered but you can order online or in flight and pay for snacks.

For a no frills flight this was surprising comfortable. The crew were helpful and nice. The flight was smooth and there were no delays or issues which I haven't had on a flight in a long time. I would definitely fly with them again.

The flight was canceled by play less than 24 hours prior to the trip, and I was unable to re-book. Have not received a refund for the trip despite filling out the appropriate form.

Was was cancelled less than 24 hours prior to my scheduled departure by PLAY. Despite my attempts to rebook my travel, I encountered significant cost increases that rendered this option unfeasible. In accordance with EC Regulation 261/2004, airlines are required to issue a full refund for cancelled flights within seven days of the scheduled departure if a refund is requested instead of rebooking on another flight. It has been three weeks without a refund or an answer

Have not recieved full refund for my flight, which was cancelled less than 24 hours prior to my scheduled departure by PLAY. Despite my attempts to rebook my travel, I encountered significant cost increases that rendered this option unfeasible. In accordance with EC Regulation 261/2004, airlines are required to issue a full refund for cancelled flights within seven days of the scheduled departure if a refund is requested instead of rebooking on another flight. This request was completed three weeks ago an answer or refund.

It would have been better to have USB charging ports available on the longer haul Flight that one of 2 hours

Was very good Staff was great. No tv monitors tho. So long flights make it longer

The worst. No free beverages. No entertainment on an overseas flight. Not enough space. Never again.

Play is affordable! Only way we fly from the states to Europe. Left late but arrived on time

have screens on backs of chairs...offer free snacks and water

Boarding and crew was great. Flight was cold, need layers. Deplaning was hard. We had to take stairs off the plane and I was separated from my travel companion because we were not seated together and they would not let him wait for me to get off so we were forced onto different shuttles.

I didn’t get a chance to experience anything because the 3rd party company that receives payment did a really bad job. After I received confirmation number I went to bed then I tried to check in my confirmation number did not work then I received a massage that my payment did not go through I called the company to rectify the problem and I was told that confirmation the whole thing was cancelled and that they couldn’t do anything about it and hang up the phone. So I decided to purchase a new ticket from another airline. I will never use kayak again and I’ll make sure all the people in my circle doesn’t deal with you guys.
