Transportation from Reykjavik City Center to Keflavík International Airport
Although Keflavík International Airport is approximately 50 km from Reykjavik, it is not difficult to reach the airport thanks to the city's regular infrastructure.
The easiest way to reach Keflavík Airport from Reykjavik city center is to take a taxi. You cannot hail taxis from the street in Iceland, instead you have to go to a taxi stand or call them to your location using the taxi companies' own apps. Icelandic taxis all have a meter and almost all accept credit cards.
Two private bus companies carry passengers from the city center to Keflavík Airport. Flybus, one of them, picks you up from your hotel at certain times throughout the day and takes you to the airport. The other company that provides this service, Airport Direct, also picks you up from your hotel or the nearest bus stop to your hotel.
Both companies reach the airport in approximately 45 minutes. It is recommended to use this service 3-4 hours before your flight so that you can reach the airport in the time period recommended by the authorities.
The most economical way of this journey is to use public transportation. You reach the airport after a 60-75-minute journey by bus number 55. The first flight departs from BSI Bus Terminal on weekdays, while on weekends it is approximately 10 km. It departs from the Fjörður stop at a distance. The departure times vary considerably.

Transportation from Anchorage Airport to the City Center
Anchorage, or officially Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, is one of Alaska's most important commercial and civil airports. With its location in the middle of a developed transportation network, the airport offers many transportation options to the city center.
The most economical of these are the buses of Alaska's public transportation system, People Mover. The two lines that pass through the airport are numbers 40 and 65. These buses depart every thirty minutes between 06:00 in the morning and 23:00 in the evening and collect passengers from different points within the airport and go to the city center or the Diamond Center Transfer Center. The journey takes an average of half an hour.
For more detailed information, you can check the website of the People Mover company.
Most of the hotels here provide shuttle service to their customers for a fee or free of charge. First, ask if your hotel has such a service. Otherwise, you can use the shuttle service at the airport with peace of mind. In both terminals, you will see the drop off point as soon as you leave the baggage claim point.
At Anchorage Airport, you can get service from both regular taxis and vehicles of transportation applications. You can see the taxi rank as soon as you exit the 1st floor, gate 3 near the baggage claim point if you are in the south terminal, and gate 2 if you are in the northern terminal. In order to get on the vehicles you have called from transportation applications such as Uber and Lyft, you must go to the drop-off point on the 2nd floor, ticketing point.
Another option is to rent a car from the airport. If you rent a car, you will have the chance to see the places to see in Alaska with your own schedule and rhythm, and you will have your Anchorage Airport transfer out of the way. Most of the well-known companies such as Hertz, Avis and Budget have their offices here.
The section where the car rental offices are located is a little far from the terminal buildings. That's why a free shuttle runs every 15 minutes to the north and south terminals, the parking lot and the car rental offices. You can also access summary access information on the airport's official website.
