Getting from the airport to your hotels
Isavia has an information web for Keflavik airport with the usual information on how to get to and from the place. There are three bus companies that service Keflavik International airport, Iceland Excursions, Gray Line and Airport Direct. They offer essentially the same kind of service: typical airport transfer with hotel drop off and pick up. I normally buy return tickets for the buses. Tickets can be bought online in advance, on Icelandair flights and at the ticket booth in the arrival hall upon arrival. Make sure you tell the staff to which hotel you want to go. In my experience it takes 1 ½ hours from the time the plane touches ground until you are in your hotel room. There is also a public bus.
If many of you are arriving together you might actually consider sharing a taxi. It will be slightly more comfortable and quicker than the bus.
During your stay in Reykjavik you will have enough time to ask the hotel reception to arrange for your transfer back to the airport, but make sure you book it no later than the night before departure.
Flights
For those of you who have not booked your flights yet, I can recommend www.dohop.com as a tool for multiple-airline searches. There are e.g. often rather inexpensive direct flights from OSL, ARN, HEL and CPH.
