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.

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.
