Flying from London Heathrow
Heathrow is the UK's main long-haul hub and the airport where full-service carriers concentrate their schedule rather than chase price. Expect five terminals, fast Tube and Elizabeth Line links into central London, and a route map that skews toward business-traveller frequency: more daily slots, fewer fare wars. Short-haul fares from Heathrow tend to run a little higher than Gatwick or Stansted on the same corridor — the trade-off is a wider choice of airline and a more reliable timetable.
Arriving in Reykjavik
Keflavík sits 50 km southwest of Reykjavík, with Flybus shuttles running every 30 minutes to BSÍ bus terminal for ISK 3,499. Icelandair and Play (low-cost) dominate the route, with EasyJet adding seasonal capacity. The route is a stopover-friendly Atlantic gateway — many travellers use it for 1–4 night layovers en route to North America.
