Airline fares change regularly and are often subject to seasonal fluctuation, so be on the constant lookout for the best deals. Check with travel agents, who can often get excellent prices on family holidays, package deals and discounts for group holidays.
 
If you must spend time at Keflavik International Airport while waiting for a connecting flight, don’t fear. The Leifur Elriksson Terminal at Keflavik is small and intimate and offers airport weary travellers a comfortable spot to relax before moving to their next destination.
 
Stock up on the best of Scandinavian delicacies, alcohol or enjoy a few calming glasses of wine at the stylish airport bar. Due to its compact size and attention to design detail, the airport is easy to navigate and amazingly, you may actually enjoy your airport stop-over.
 
By ferry
There are no passenger ferries that operate to Iceland either from the US or mainland Europe. However, if you are located in Norway or Denmark, Smyril Line operates from Bergen and Hanstholm to ports in Iceland, including the Faroe Islands and Seydisfjordur.
 
Getting around Iceland
Travel around Iceland is generally easily managed. The bus routes have lines running to most main towns and some smaller villages. During the summer months, buses are much more frequent than in winter, but travelling by bus at any time of the year is possible.

There are also a number of car rental services in Iceland of both local and international standards. If you are driving in Iceland, especially in winter, check the forecast for road and weather conditions before setting out.
