 == Getting from the airport to your hotels ==
 Keflavik International Airport is located about 45 min. from Reykjavik. Isavia has an [https://www.isavia.is/en/keflavik-airport information web] for Keflavik airport with the usual information on [https://www.isavia.is/en/keflavik-airport/parking-and-transport how to get to and from] the place.

It normally takes 1½ hours from the time the plane touches ground until you are in your hotel room. There is also a [https://straeto.is/en/timatoflur/6/30 public bus].
