Bank/Tax Refund First FloorGround Floor Most passengers flying between Europe and North America have to change planes en route.And Reykjavík’s airport, Keflavík International in southwest Iceland, is there to provide the ideal Atlantic stepping stone. Situated halfway between the eastern seaboard of North America and Europe, Keflavík International offers unbeatable connections and flight times between desti- nations in Scandinavia and Scotland and gateways in Canada and the USA. Icelandair’s route network is based on a hub-and-spoke system with Keflavík International as the nerve-centre. Flights departing from six North American cities arrive in Iceland sixty to ninety minutes before departures to fourteen destinations in Scandinavia, the UK and Central Europe. MAKE THE CHANGE AT KEFLAVÍK The procedure is reversed in the afternoon with flights from Europe arriving in Keflavík shortly before the Icelandair fleet takes off for North America. The Leifur Eiríksson Terminal at Keflavík International air- port is where passengers get their first impressions of Iceland. An unrestrained emphasis on light and passenger comfort characterises the terminal – here the focus is on enjoying your stay, not enduring it. Duty- and tax-free shopping is available for both arriving and departing passengers. Check out the the wide range of quality brands in men’s and women’s clothing at Saga Boutique on the ground floor in the transit hall, with prices 25–40 per cent lower than in most European cities. Icelandic food, drink, confectionery, woollens and handicraft: it is all there at the Leifur Eiríksson Terminal at Keflavík.
