Arriving in Iceland

The “Leifur Eiríksson” international airport terminal in Keflavik (48 km from Reykjavik) is the gateway for most passenger flights and air-freight flights to and from Iceland. The airport is open 24 hours per day. All retail sale and services operated in the departure hall are located within the duty-free zone and are, therefore, duty- and tax-free.

Facilities within the terminal at Leifur Eiríksson Air Terminal have recently been renovated, with the traveller needs in mind. The terminal is bright, has a relaxing atmosphere and offers a good selection of shops and stores. The goods and services available at the Duty-Free Stores are very competitive, compared to other European airports.

When arriving, passengers should stroll straight downstairs to the arrival hall where, unlike most international airports, tax- and duty-free goods are available upon arrival.
