From the airport to your hotel in Reykjavik Reykjavik International Airport (also known as Keflavík International Airport or Flugstöð Leifs Eiríkssona Airport) is located about 50 kilometers southwest of the city center and has only one terminal. Just two kilometers from the city center is the small Reykjavíkurflugvöllur Airport, which, however, is only used for domestic flights within Iceland. There are several options for getting from Keflavík Airport in Reykjavik to your hotel in central Reykjavik: Transfer by bus, taxi, or rental car. Option 1 Flybus: The Flybus airport transfer operates between Keflavík Airport and the BSÍ bus terminal in central Reykjavik. The journey takes about 45 minutes, and departure times are coordinated with flight arrivals, so these buses usually offer convenient connecting services. A Flybus Airport Transfer can be booked from around €27, making it the cheapest way to get to Reykjavik. Although tickets can be purchased at the airport, Flybus recommends booking in advance to guarantee a seat on the bus. You have two options when booking tickets: Flybus Standard: This ticket drops you off at the BSÍ bus terminal, about 500 meters south of the famous Hallgrímskirkja church. Advance booking of this ticket is recommended (tickets start at €26). Flybus Plus (Hotel Pick Up): This ticket drops you off at a few selected hotels and other bus stops in Reykjavik. Please note that this journey can take up to 30 minutes longer depending on the location of your hotel. For the Flybus Plus, we strongly recommend booking tickets in advance (tickets start at €32).

On January 31, 1951, a Douglas DC-3/C-47A-10-DK of Flugfélag Islands (now Icelandair) (aircraft registration TF-ISG) crashed while attempting to land in Reykjavík. The crew had aborted an approach due to poor visibility. Some debris was discovered the following day in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 18 kilometers from the airport. All 20 passengers and crew were killed.

Located just minutes from the city center, this domestic airport connects the capital with other regions of Iceland and Greenland. It should not be confused with Keflavík International Airport, which handles most international flights. Routes to Akureyri, Ísafjörður, and Egilsstaðir depart from here, providing a quick way to shorten distances on the island.
