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?

    Suppose you want to fly directly 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. Alternatively, you can take a non-direct flight through United and Delta airlines which have direct flights to Iceland from New York and Boston.

  • 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.

Terrible. They wouldn't allow me on my flight on the 14th..

We had to deboard 2 times due to maintenance issues. They changed the plane, and then we got deviated to LAX due to maibtenance issues on the other plane, had to sleep at LAX and los a full day.

Great service on board. Boarding a bit slow due to process. Food was pretty average.

Very small cramped plane for an international flight. Everything else was good, but it was maybe the smallest comfort-wise I've ever been on for longer than 3-4 hours and the trip was 7.5

Flight was delayed 3 hours. No food and drink vouchers was provided. They offered a mini pretzel bag and water .

Staff was rude. Didn’t give water for 2 hours. Worst service

Was on time until within 1 hour of flight-how does that happen? Staff very friendly.

I liked the choice of lemon ginger tea. I think stewardesses can be more considerate of older people needs.

We were given vouchers we couldn’t use with a 5.5 hour delay

I fly UAL 7-8 times per year. This flight was not up to snuff because it boarded very late "due to unexpected delays in restocking the plane" and yet Flight Aware showed the plane had landed some 10 hours earlier--so I think they could have planned accordingly. The FA's were nice but harried. The video system had to be rebooted 3-4 times. The food service was rather abrupt; they forgot my row and when I asked for my meal, they brought it with some impatience. Overall, the flight was fine, but the little details made it feel somewhat mundane and hurried.

Handling our luggage was the biggest issue - they lost it and we got it almost 3 days later. Really threw off the beginning of our trip and we really had to change our itinerary accordingly.

Seat was hard and uncomfortable and the temperature too warm and uncomfortable.

I flew Icelandair with my partner from Prague to the US. Overall flight time was around 12 hours, with a connecting flight in Iceland. I have flown internationally for years and with multiple airlines. Every airline serves you a meal when traveling internationally. Icelandair not only did not offer an inclusive meal, but they did not even offer a snack. The only things they served over our long flight was water and coffee. Ridiculous! Never again will I fly with Icelandair.

Best smelling onboard bathrooms ever. Even after use the whole flight. Biggest overhead bins. Most legroom in economy class. Great Icelandiic music. Really nice staff. Icelandair is awesome! (Don’t fly Air Canada! During the strike they lied about no flights available (I booked this flight myself) and hid the process to get money back on their website by obscuring menu titles, then made it difficult and time consuming to fill out. I’m Canadian. Don’t trust Air Canada!

It was good. The air plane is clean and staff were friendly.

Worst airline I’ve ever flown. Delayed 5.5 hrs, missed connecting flight, and missed an entire day of vacation. Zero customer service

Everything sucked. No food, one small glass of water, a tiny coffee, 5.5 hour delay with no customer service. Would never recommend flying them.

The crew was wonderful at check in, the gate and on board. Felt the luggage had more room than the passengers. The seats were smaller than most domestic U.S. airlines. I'm only 5'2" and I had little legroom. There were only 2 bathrooms in coach. Needed more. The flight was very smooth but not the most comfortable.

There was no lounge at Boston for us to use. Typically flying first class overseas comes with lounge privileges. The seats did not recline even a little. My headset only worked on one side. I felt like I was flying on Ryan Air, not Icelandic Air.

Boarded with no problems. Sat on the tarmac for an hour before taking off. We were the last ones on our connecting flight. Didn't think we were going to make it. Our flight to Iceland was similarly delayed. When we've flown other airlines, pilots have tried to make up time while in the air. This doesn't seem to be something that Icelandair does. We made all of our flights, but it was stressful and we didn't think it was going to happen based on the time we arrived.

Excellent experience in every way, from ground crew helpfulness, boarding experience, inflight service all the way to modern equipment. My new favorite airline. I wish I could fly with them more often.

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

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.
