- I recently traveled to Iceland and we landed at Keflavík Airport near Reykjavik. This was an international arrival from Newark United States! We arrived at 9pm and the immigration like was a bit busy it took 35 minutes to process.

Dude you RULE! Thanks for giving me the whole overview of the airport. Makes me feel so much better knowing what to expect. THANKS!!!!
Great video, Busy because it's the summer peak season. Plus your never going to have a massive airport in a country that has a population smaller than the average city.
Wow, this was 100 times more crowded than our arrival, but to be fair, we landed at 6:20 AM, in March 2022 (not high season).
Thanks!! This is exactly the kind of video I was searching for.
Thanks for the Tour.....
Great video, thanks. Going to Iceland next week via Munich
I was there a couple of weeks after you, also flying United but from ORD. In my case, we exited the plane onto the tarmac but then immediately entered the airport. The immigration line for me wasn’t nearly that long and I don’t remember it being that crowded. Hope you enjoyed the trip, Iceland’s a cool place.
Iceland is nice. Coming in there were long lines and going out there were long lines
Believe it or not the baggage check line was even longer on the way out. But I am very happy to hear it was not too crowded when you arrived and yes iceland is a cool place
The immigration line is longer for Non EU citizens, for EU citizens it’s usually quite quick.
I took the red eye from Newark and when we arrived it was still dark and the airport was empty. We found it to be so quick to get through. Our bags were coming out when we got to the baggage claim. We went to the bus outside to the rental car and were on our way within a half hour of landing
What time of year was it? Both arrival and departure were incredibly busy lines outside the airport just to check in luggage. That doesn’t even include the security. I didn’t even film the departure but it’s nothing like you just described during the month of June
We went last week of March. Was dark, windy and snowing when we arrived
@@VirtCam just curious if there's another part of the airport, maybe used for late night/red eye flights?
As far as I can tell/remember, Keflavik Airport is the international one which services Reykjavik; correct?
Reason I ask, is my (late) mom and I had a stop-over there en route from Calgary to Amsterdam, tho' this was way back in April '97. I watched your clip and much of it isn't familiar to me, tho', like I say, we're talkin' almost 30 yrs ago!!
That being said, I have a very visual memory of us approaching the airport as we were landing, and loving all the colourful buildings. And, once inside, loving the "quiet space" we had (we may have been one of only a few - if not, the only - flight(s) which landed at that time, so much of the airport was closed). But, it just was such a memorable airport space; really loved it. Would love to find a clip which shows what I remember, as my daughters are interested in travelling there, and, just for my own sake, so I can "re-visit" my travels that I shared with my beloved momma 🙂
Thanks, in advance, for any info you can provide; cheers!
Thanks for sharing. Surprised at no moving walkways at that airport, lots of walking.
The airport is nice but when it is peak season it is busting at the seems. They are due for an increase in size and infrastructure enhancement
Cool. Heading there in September. Good info, thanks!!
Hey hope u had or are having a gd trip. Do u know in baggage claim if that shop is a gd grocery store? We would be going straight to our accommodation and I'm trying to figure out where to stock up x
Nice video buddy
Good video! I will be going there in early November. I originally booked for July, but the airline changed my flights and messed everything up. The next cheapest flights I could get were for November. I guess it will be pretty cold by then though! 😱
Thanks for posting! I haven't traveled internationally by plane, and am taking my first trip next month for work. I also haven't been on an airplane since I was 11 (a long time ago!). I have a layover in Iceland on the way to abd from Ireland. I won't need baggage claim, but your video was helpful. Now to figure out if I will need to still stand in customs for a layover.
Looks great😊
thank you, I needed to calculate how long It'll take me in the airport until I leave.
Yeah the airport here is not quite up to standard but they are working on it.
The Bagge claim was made bigger just a cupple of days ago but i do agree with that the airport just isnt big enough.
Neato, a video from the future
Nice video. I’m planning to go to Ireland and the UK next summer and my layover is at this airport. Surprised it was small but it looked nice
I’m so excited ahh i’ve been scouring the internet for all sorts of travel videos for Iceland because i am going in a week with my mom and my brother, and we live in little old kentucky so this is a huge thing for us- we used to visit family in Russia but we are now having to be anti russia :(
They didn't asked in the airport about corona test vaccination or ant restrictions about covid-19
No
@@VirtCam i will arrive in Paris Orly from Keflavik in september, answer the question please, should i have pcr-test for this?
I am from iceland
About to get a flight with a 1h15m layover, do you think that’s enough time NY-Finland
Oof I have a 1hr 15 min layover there on the way to Copenhagen. Hoping the lines aren’t this long when I get there!
How did it go
@@VirtCam we got delayed pretty bad on the way there and ended up having about 5 minutes! We were easily able to zip through passport control. They had absolutely no line and asked 1 question then we ran to the gate and joined the end of the line so if we can do it in 5 minutes anyone can do it in an hour! Haha
Did they ask for a Vaccination card?
It looked like the passport line was long - especially for non-EU nationals. I'm a dual American-Irish national (live in the 'DC area) and was thinking of transiting flights in Iceland to go to Europe. Did it look to you that the line for EU nationals was shorter than for non-EU nationals? Did they get through faster? My plan is to use my Irish passport in the EU/EEA to cut time off of the lines
The line was too long I felt

Customs doesn't seem that bad, just enter the US as e EU citizen and you will experience worse including the friendlyness of the TSA.
Looks cold
Yes kinda brisk
Hey I have a 1 hr layover when I get there from nc. Is that enough time to make my connection? I'm going to amsterdam and I don't know anything about schengan or non schengan areas. Just don't want to get lost and be stuck
Schengen is a visa for many European countries once you are in a Schengen zone country you can travel between countries without processing immigration
Does the mean if you are going to Ireland you do customs once in Iceland and not in Ireland? I'm worried now my 1 hr 20 won't be long enough. It will be February though!
I lived in Keflavik back in 1976 into 1977. This airport did not exist back then, you had to fly into Keflavik. Was the airport in Keflavik?
We arrive at 4:50 am and our shuttle too car rental only starts at 8:15: do you think there is a somewhat cosy spot where we could hang out (or sleep some more) in the airport?
Between the bus and customs, do you think and hour and half is a enough time to transfer to another flight at KEF?
If the transfer is a USA to the UK or Dublin then you won’t need to do any customs at Reykjavik and your flight will depart from the same area, if it’s a transfer to mainland Europe then you need to leave enough time to get through passport control.
3:40
Answer the question please, i have other country passport, but i arrived from Rome (and shengen visa i have),
I should go to the left or right?
I do not know but if it’s Shengen Visa to Shengen Visa you might not have to go through passport control
It's about the passport you have, so will have to go to "other passports". But you'll most likely not need to pass passport control since you arrive from Schengen area. You'll arrive in a different part of the airport.
7:30
Duh! it's full because it's summer peak travel season.
Why does every airport in the world look the same. And why did they pick that? Ick. The only airport I ever really liked was Dubai.
How long did it take from wheels down to get out of the airport?
45 minutes to an hour. The immigration line was the problem.
How long was the bus ride?
About an hour
4:09 Everyone using this video to plan an arrival to Reykjavik should know that the process of arrival to all Schengen countries will change! The EU will require all non-EU citizens to have their face scanned and leave finger prints in addition to longer and more detailed questioning because of the rising numbers of travelers passing through the EU and the associated risks. People will also need to fill out something similar to the ESTA application currently mandatory for people visiting the US called ETIAS, but that's a completely different system.
So you mean it is about to get even longer now?
@@VirtCam Yes! But everyone needs to remember this is for the safety of Schengen and the countries in it!
@@VirtCam I may be wrong, but I don’t think that starts until spring of 2024 turn the travel information to Europe that I read
Oh no, really hoping the one hour 20 minute layover I have on the way to Ireland is enough now.
@@librariankimi The implementation for the new system is currently delayed, but you can find up-to-date information on the official website of the European Union travel-europe (.europa.eu)
