Iceland is reached by air, and Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the main international airport. This guide explains how to plan the journey from India, what to check when you book, and how to get around once you land.
In our research, no widely established nonstop flights run from India to Iceland. Indian travellers usually connect through major European hubs and then fly into Keflavík. Routes and timings change, so confirm each option at the time you book. Our planners can suggest suitable connections for your dates.
Keflavík International Airport is Iceland's main international airport, and most visitors arrive there. Plan your arrival and departure around it. Ask your planner what arrival and departure help is included in your itinerary, because transfer options depend on your package.
Allow enough time between connecting flights, especially in winter, when road and weather conditions can change quickly. Check the total journey time, not only the flight times, before you choose a connection.
A rental car or a guided tour is the most practical way to see the country outside Reykjavík. Public transport is limited compared with larger European countries, though city buses run in Reykjavík. Pre-booked tours are common for short stays. Road conditions can change quickly, so check advisories each morning.
