Severe weather is sweeping across the country this afternoon, with almost all international flights canceled and roads in all parts of the country in an uncertain state. A meteorologist says the storm will hit harshly and predicts strong gusts. Parents in the capital area are urged to pick up their children from school and travelers are recommended to stay indoors and avoid any travel during the storm hours.

We shop in the airport departure lounge for a variety of reasons. It might be to kill time before our flight departs or use up leftover foreign currency (though admittedly that’s less important now we use card payments for so many things). It’s a great opportunity to pick up any last minute gifts, especially if you have spent a lot of time out in the countryside where stores are few and far between.

If you’ve decided to vacation in Iceland this year then the first thing you’ll need to consider is booking some flights. Depending on where in the US you live, when you plan to come and whether you’ve signed up for one or more airline loyalty schemes, this might be a straightforward decision – or a little more complex. In this article, the ultimate guide to flights from the US to Iceland, we’re going to take a look into the kind of things to bear in mind when planning your air travel.

If you’re staying in Reykjavik, then there’s a good chance you might be looking for ideas for days out. While the Icelandic capital makes a charming base and has plenty of interesting things to do within the city limits, the prospect of see some of the dramatic landscapes out in the countryside is irresistible. Seize the opportunity and head out to the Reykjanes peninsula – it’s the perfect day trip from Reykjavik. Let’s dissect the region’s appeal and find out why that is the case.

The rise of the low-cost airline means that many of us have become used to not being served food on board the plane. Most departing flights aren’t long enough for this to be an issue, but if you’re feeling the hunger pangs while you’re still in the departure lounge, then we reckon you’ll find much better food on the ground in Keflavik Airport than you will in the air. No matter what your preference, whether you’re content with a pastry to accompany your coffee or are looking for a more substantial meal, one of our myriad eateries will be just right for your needs. Let’s take a brief look at the choices.

Iceland’s location in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean means that it’s a relatively short flight from many North American and European destinations. The majority of international flights land at Keflavik Airport, some of whom offer included stopovers at no additional cost for those who wish to combine the two. With convenient departure and arrival times, easily arranged car hire and straightforward onward journeys to Reykjavik and beyond, it’s a tempting proposition for visitors.
