Today is the big day! Head to the airport and get ready for your overnight flight from the US to our hub at Keflavík International Airport (KEF). Keep your eyes peeled in the winter as you just may see the northern lights dancing beside you!
Make your way from Keflavík Airport to central Reykjavík and check in at your hotel. Most check-in times range between 2 - 3pm, however, hotels will often be able to store your bags while you explore more of the city. Whether you decide to go for a bite to eat, book onto a walking tour, or explore the charm of Old Town Reykjavík on your own terms, there’s plenty to do in the capital.

The day is yours to plan as you please! With a variety of popular day and evening tours to choose from, including ziplining, snowmobiling, lagoon trips, and more, there are plenty of ways to spend your time in Iceland. When planning your itinerary, it’s important to keep in mind that some excursions – such as northern lights tours – are only available seasonally.
Most tours depart from and return to Reykjavík. Tour providers will either arrange pick-up directly from your hotel, or have city center meeting points, making the whole process easy and convenient.
You have full flexibility to tweak and add extra days to your Iceland flights and hotel package when you book.
Until next time, Iceland!
Goodbyes are never fun, but it’s time to head home to start planning your next exciting journey to Iceland! Enjoy the morning before heading to Keflavik for your late afternoon return flight home with Icelandair.
