Domestic flights

Icelandair passengers from Europe and North America land at Keflavík International Airport (KEF).

To fly within Iceland, passengers must transfer from Keflavík to Reykjavík Domestic Airport (RKV) – a distance of 50km (31 miles).

Passengers must collect any checked bags from the baggage belt in Keflavík airport and take them to the domestic airport in Reykjavík to be rechecked in.

Transfer options include bus and taxi. Allow around 90 minutes for bus transfer, and about 60 minutes by taxi or private car.

The same also applies for returning flights. Collect your baggage at Reykjavík airport before transferring to Keflavík for your flight home, and allow enough time to travel between the 2 airports.

Has your domestic flight been cancelled? If your flight has been cancelled due to weather, we will rebook you for the next available flight. You can also receive a refund, if the new flight is not suitable.

Has your domestic flight been delayed by more than 2 hours? If a flight is delayed by more than 2 hours, all passengers are entitled to reject the new flight time and receive a refund. We will send out an email to passengers affected by the delay, with information on how to request a refund.

Passengers who used Loftbrú or Saga Points to book a ticket and wish to receive a refund will receive a reimbursement of their Loftbrú allowance and / or Saga Points.

Baggage allowance

The checked baggage allowance for domestic flights is the same as for international flights (note that Greenland flights have a different allowance).

Note that the overhead compartments are smaller on domestic aircraft, and therefore the maximum size for hand luggage is smaller than on international flights. Bags that are advertised as 'standard carry-on baggage size' may not fit into the overhead compartments of domestic aircraft.

Maximum size (including handles and wheels): 55 x 35 x 20 cm / 21.6 x 13.7 x 7.8 inches

Maximum weight: 6 kg / 13 lbs

Fare types

We offer three fare categories for domestic flights, so you can choose the level of flexibility that suits you best.

We use Bombardier aircraft on our domestic routes. Due to the smaller size of these planes, the onboard service is more limited than on our international flights.

Note that we don't offer Saga Premium on domestic flights.

Send a package by domestic flight: You can simply hand over your package at any of our domestic airports and pay the relevant cost. We will take care of labelling.

We need to register the kennitala and mobile phone number of both the sender and receiver.

When your cargo is ready for pick-up at its destination, we'll send an SMS to the mobile number registered for the receiver.

Transport a pet by domestic flight: Please check the Icelandair Cargo page on pet transport.

Further information is provided by Icelandair Cargo's sales department: (+354) 5050 400 (open Monday to Friday from 8AM to 5PM).

More information: See Icelandair Cargo's page on domestic cargo.
