pmnb29 Posted December 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I’m looking at flights from Seattle to Copenhagen on Iceland Air. The layover in Reykjavik is either 1 hour, 1 1/2 hours or 12 hours. I’m wondering if an hour and a half is really long enough. We’ve never been through Iceland and not sure what to expect there. Do we need to go through customs or immigrations? Thanks for any advice.

Danish viking Posted December 18, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Immigration will be handled in Reykjavik as the flight between Reykjavik and Copenhagen is inside the Schengen area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljandgb Posted December 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Try the Iceland TripAdvisor board as well, but I think it's probably long enough. The airport is small, and generally efficient at check points. That said, it has had significant growing pains with the swell of tourists going to Iceland and can get crowded. I haven't been in 18 months, so perhaps things have changed for the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted December 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 19, 2017 KEF airport specializes in these connections. Even as short a time as 45 minutes is doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupeb Posted December 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 19, 2017 We had a 55 minute layover in 2016 and made our flight to Stockholm no problem. Icelandair is used to these short layovers. The airport is small and they get you through immigration quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trosebery Posted December 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2017 As others have noted, it's a small airport and they handle immigration very efficiently. 1 1/2 hours would almost be too long, given that we found that there was almost nowhere to sit in the airport! The terminal was basically just walls and people, with boarding lines criss-crossing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmnb29 Posted December 21, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks all for the info. Any other airport 1 1/2 hours would be way too short. Sounds like it works out here. The only thing I worry about is if the plane leaves late from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
