General: |
The bus
situation at Reykjavik is an odd and very expensive system. Buses all
run to the BSI, a bus terminal located half-way between the Domestic
airport and Reykjavik city centre. It is still a 15-20 minute walk to
the city centre of the domestic airport from there, and no buses or
shuttles seem to operate to either. Taxis or walking are the only
option, and a taxi will cost ~ISK 600 for the 5 minute ride! Reykjavik
Excursions claim there is a drop off service at hotels and locations
throughout the city, but I was unable to obtain such a service. |
|
Flybus operated by
Reykjavik Excursions: |
This the main transfer service for passengers between the
Intl Airport at Keflavík and Reykjavík City. Route: Operates with request
stops in Harnarfjörður (Hotel Viking) & Garđabær (Aktu-Taktu) in the outskirts of the city.
|
|
Onward Connections: Reykjavik Excursions offers complimentary drop off service to selected hotels/guesthouses in Reykjavik for all Flybus passengers. The drop off service does however not include all hotels in Reykjavik, but all of the major ones. For this service passengers board smaller buses at BSÍ bus terminal that take you to the hotel. Taxis are also available at BSÍ bus terminal. |
|

35-45 mins after all flight arrivals. Buses leave the BSI in the city
