Iceland's Modern and Easy Keflavik International Airport
Another very easy to navigate airport with one difference; unless you are a premium passenger, everyone has to check themselves in at an equally easy-to-use kiosk. Just follow the screen directions and out pops baggage tags and boarding passes.
Then walk a short distance to Baggage Drop where many employees wait to finish the process.
Do not believe claims that all airport goods are cheaper than in Reykjavik - they are not! We priced several items seen in the city and they were more expensive at the airport. Do your shopping in Reykjavik and get a tax free rebate there...
A Fast Walk Around Easy to Use Keflavik Airport, Iceland
Passengers for all airlines must use the kiosks to check-in, then get in the very long drop baggage line. Once again, for all departing flights. It was surprising how fast the lines moved with at least 12-14 check-in staff.

Trip to Iceland: About Iceland
Once you visit Iceland, a land of gushing geysers where the sky glitters with the Northern Lights, you may understand why some of its residents are convinced that fairies and giants still roam the earth, or at least their corner of it. Iceland's landscapes are dramatic and strange, perfect for avid photo-takers, and the country remains relatively uncrowded, even at peak tourist season. As otherworldly as it may sound, travel to Iceland is actually quite easy - and when you're ready to go, our Iceland travel guide will lead you to all the magical spots of this unique country.

Trip to Iceland: When to Go
Iceland has a concentrated tourist season, peaking from mid-June through August. Many Icelanders think the summer tourists don't know what they're missing. Iceland offers plenty to do in spring, fall, even winter, and prices are dramatically lower for airfares, car rentals, and accommodations. Icelanders are avid Christmas celebrators, and the Aurora Borealis is remarkably vivid in winter. Most off-season visitors use Reykjavík as a home base, and combine city culture and nightlife with activities such as horseback riding, snowmobiling, and visiting spas.

Trip to Iceland: Typical cost
Hostel – Hostel dorms cost between 3,500-7,500 ISK per night and Hosteling International members get 650 ISK off. Private rooms cost around 11,500 ISK per night for HI members, and for non-members, it is 12,500 ISK.
Hotels – Hotels are generally pricier than your hostels and guesthouses. One thing to keep in mind is that not all hotel rooms are going to have a private bathroom. You can expect to pay around 20,000 ISK and up per night for a double room with a private bathroom,
Average cost of food – Eating out, even on the cheap, costs about 1,300 ISK or more per meal. At this price point, you’re looking at sandwiches, kebabs, soups, and other “quick meals.” You can find small sandwiches for around 1,000 ISK at some of the outdoor kiosks. For main dishes from a sit-down restaurant with table service expect to pay at least 2,000 ISK. Happy hour beer is around 700 ISK, while non-happy prices range between 1,000-1,200 ISK. Groceries (basic pasta, eggs, skyr, rice, chicken, and some veggies) will cost 8,700 ISK per week. For cheap meals, consider the hot dog vendors that line the streets of major cities. They cost 400-500 ISK for a basic dog (without added toppings).
Transportation costs – During the summer months, you can purchase a countrywide bus pass for 42,000 ISK. Bus tickets start from 3.50 ISK (within Reykjavik for a single ride) to being free in some cities (like Akureyri). The popular bus route that runs from Reykjavik to Akureyri costs about 8,800 ISK. Car rentals cost about 5,350 ISK per day, with gas costing around 192 ISK per liter.

The World Of Vanderlande: Keflavík Airport
Keflavík Airport is one of Iceland’s major transportation hubs. It is the largest airport on the island and the country’s main transfer site for international travellers. Over the past decade, it faced a rapid growth in passenger volumes, from just over 3 million in 2013 to 9 million in 2017.
In recent years, international requirements concerning aviation security issues at airports have increased substantially. Nevertheless, Keflavík has been eager to maintain – and improve – the experience for passengers.
The airport chose to install Vanderlande’s PAX OPTIMA advanced passenger checkpoint (APC) solution. It has allowed Keflavík to increase passenger throughput, enhance its use of staff resources, and improve the overall experience for passengers.

Getting around Iceland on your own is surprisingly straight-forward. The main Ring Road connects all the major towns and if you stick to it, you can’t really go wrong. Now bear in mind that driving here is nothing like driving at home so there are a few things you need to know…
Summer is the time to do a driving holiday, as the roads will be open and the conditions will be good with lots of daylight. The weather in Winter can make driving difficult and once you leave Reykjavik it can get quite dangerous. It’s not recommended unless you really know what you’re doing; getting stuck in a white-out isn’t fun.
If you plan on straying off the Ring Road, then hire a four wheel drive car. the roads can be uneven and pot-holes are common. Do not go on F Roads, as hire cars are not allowed on them. Off-road driving is forbidden as it damages the environment. You’ll get fined around 350,000 Krona if caught. Speed limits: 50km in populated areas, 80km on gravel roads and 90km on paved roads. You’re required to have your headlights on at all times when driving, even during daylight. Some bridges are single lane only; the driver closest to the bridge has priority.
Petrol stations are few and far between and often unmanned. Fill up when you can and use a credit or cash card for payment. The Icelandic website road.is has lots of detailed information on driving in Iceland, so make sure to give it a read before you hire a car. And remember - you drive on the right!
