Airport Basics
Landing before your hotel is ready?
Many travelers arrive at Keflavík in the early morning, often hours before their hotel is ready for check-in. While many Icelandic hotels set their official check-in time for later in the afternoon—sometimes at 15:00—this early arrival gap is a key logistical hurdle that requires smart planning to ensure a smooth transition into your Icelandic journey.
Blue Lagoon before Reykjavík
Efficiently bridge the gap between your flight and hotel check-in. The process begins with a KEF pickup followed by a stop at the Blue Lagoon. Upon arrival, travelers utilize the designated Blue Lagoon luggage-storage facility for their bags. Following the visit, NorthTrip provides a second pickup for the transfer to Reykjavík accommodation.
