How the Flybus works
Flybus runs between the airport and the BSÍ Bus Terminal at 101 Reykjavík, the main city departure point and the place to switch buses for some hotel transfers. Many hotels and guesthouses are served through designated bus stops, and a smaller shuttle takes you to the property. The hotel option can include an additional fee, so check the price at checkout. The timetable also lists stops at Hamraborg in Kópavogur, Aktu Taktu in Garðabær and Fjörukráin in Hafnarfjörður. Times can change, and arrival times can vary, so read the timetable for your flight day.
Choosing a ticket
You can buy one-way or return tickets, and Flybus lists a "Save 8%" option for return trips. A return ticket suits a trip based in Reykjavík; two one-way tickets suit a Ring Road trip that ends elsewhere. Tickets are sold online, at a kiosk or through partners. The Flybus ticket we recommend is the Flybus bus transfer between Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 21,891 reviews on 8 November 2026; the price depends on the date and the group.
Delayed flights and late arrivals
Flybus says your seat is guaranteed, even if your flight is delayed. The last airport arrival in the timetable is about 23:15, so if your flight lands near midnight, check the timetable and have a taxi or hotel arrangement as a plan B. The first BSÍ departure is about 04:00, which suits early flights home.
Alternatives
- Rental car: Visit Iceland says renting a car is the easiest and most flexible option for the Ring Road. If your first days are in the city you may not need it; see Keflavik airport car rental and car rental in Iceland.

- Other options: compare them in Keflavik airport to Reykjavik and Iceland airport transfer.
Once you are in Reykjavík
The Reykjavík City Card, available for 24, 48 or 72 hours, includes unlimited public transport within the city, free entry to public pools and access to top museums, so you can skip a car for city days; see Reykjavik City Card worth it. To plan your stay see where to stay in Reykjavík. The Iceland Airwaves festival site, for example, lists Flybus among its airport-transfer options for visitors.
Season notes
In winter daylight is limited and roads can be icy; in November Reykjavík has about 8 hours of daylight at the start of the month and about 5 by its end. On a winter arrival, a bus removes the first drive: Safe Travel Iceland notes that a 4x4 does not prevent skidding on ice. See Iceland in winter.

- Assuming the hotel drop-off is included: it may include an additional fee.
- Not reading the arrival timetable for a late flight.
- Overloading luggage: each ticket includes two bags of up to 23 kg.
- Booking a return when you will leave from elsewhere.
