Keflavík Airport is the only major international airport in Iceland servicing over 70 direct connections to Europe, the US and Canada starting June 2026. When you arrive at Keflavík International Airport, the most common way to get to Reykjavik without a car is by taking the Flybus, an airport shuttle that runs in connection with every incoming flight. After you collect your luggage and clear customs, you’ll find the Flybus stop just outside the terminal building. Buses generally depart about 35–45 minutes after a flight lands and take around 45-50 minutes to reach the BSÍ Bus Terminal in downtown Reykjavik. This service operates all year and even waits if flights are delayed, so you don’t need to worry about exact departure times. The BSÍ Bus Terminal is in the same area as the University of Iceland (15 minute walk).

From the BSÍ Bus Terminal, which is centrally located, many hotels are within walking distance or a short taxi ride away. If you prefer a direct transfer to your hotel, you can book the Flybus+ option, which includes a connecting minibus that takes you from BSÍ to your hotel or nearby stop in Reykjavik, making the journey more convenient especially if you have luggage or are staying farther from the terminal. 

Tickets can be purchased in advance online, where you can find additional information, or at the airport. Buses offer free Wi-Fi and luggage storage for a comfortable ride. If you’re heading back to the airport, Flybus also runs from BSÍ to Keflavík, and you can arrange hotel pickup in Reykjavik for the return trip.
