Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from San Diego to Reykjavík.

What is the typical flight duration from San Diego to Reykjavík?

San Diego to Reykjavík is about 4,340 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the flight requires a connection.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from San Diego to Reykjavík?

There are no non-stop flights from San Diego to Reykjavík. The shortest connecting routing is via Denver on Icelandair, with a Southwest leg from San Diego to Denver (135 minutes), a 155-minute layover, and the Icelandair leg to Reykjavík (440 minutes), for a total of 12 hours 10 minutes. Alaska Airlines offers a nearly identical connection through Portland at 12 hours 11 minutes.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Reykjavík?

From Keflavík International Airport, the most-used option is the Flybus airport coach, which reaches Reykjavík’s BSÍ terminal in about 45 minutes for roughly $33 and is synchronized with all arriving flights. Public Strætó bus #55 also runs to the city but is slowest and not designed for airport service, while taxis cost around $133 and take a similar 45 minutes. Car rentals are available at the airport and suit travelers planning self-drive tours, and Hopp car-sharing offers a more flexible alternative within the city.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from San Diego to Reykjavík?

Overnight red-eye connections are available from San Diego to Reykjavík, though there is no nonstop red-eye. The most direct option connects through Boston, where JetBlue departs San Diego at 20:20 and lands at 05:26 the next morning before continuing on Icelandair; other one-stop red-eyes route through Seattle, Baltimore, Orlando, Chicago, and New York on carriers like Icelandair, United, and Delta, with the overnight long legs departing between 19:00 and 23:55 and arriving in Reykjavík between 06:25 and 09:30 the next morning.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from San Diego to Reykjavík?

There is no nonstop service from San Diego to Reykjavík, so travelers connect through a hub. The most common routings are on Icelandair via Denver, Portland, Seattle, or Orlando, with the Denver connection being the quickest at about 12 hours 10 minutes total. Alaska Airlines and Southwest feed Icelandair on several of these one-stop itineraries, while Delta offers a connection via New York JFK and United via Chicago O'Hare. Southwest, Alaska, Delta, JetBlue, and United are the main connecting carriers, with Icelandair operating the transatlantic leg on most patterns.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Reykjavík?

Keflavík International Airport is the only airport serving Reykjavík for international flights. It is about 50 km from downtown and handles all major airlines and connections.

How do I get to San Diego Intl Airport from the city center?

From downtown San Diego, the airport is only about three miles away, and MTS bus Route 992 runs from Santa Fe Depot and other downtown stops to both terminals every 15 minutes, making it the most popular and cheapest option at just a couple of dollars. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft pick up and drop off at designated zones outside both terminals, while taxis wait at the transit islands on the arrivals level; both are faster than the bus, typically under 15 minutes depending on traffic. Driving yourself is easy via North Harbor Drive, with short-term, long-term, economy, and valet parking available on-site, though parking costs more than transit. There is no direct light rail or trolley to the airport, so if you take the trolley you'll need to transfer to Route 992 or the free San Diego Flyer shuttle from Middletown Station.

Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Reykjavík airport?

There is no transit hotel inside the terminal at Keflavík International Airport, but the Airport Hotel Aurora sits directly on airport grounds, about a three-minute walk from the terminal. Several other nearby hotels, including the Courtyard Reykjavik Keflavik Airport (which offers airport drop-off for Marriott Bonvoy members) and Hotel Berg (which offers free airport drop-off), provide convenient overnight options. Sleep cabins, pods, and day rooms are not available.

The airport provides a Meet & Greet service with personal assistance, and there are designated areas for travelers with children, with the airport designed to be comfortable for little ones. Baggage handling services and a baggage drop-off point in the departure hall are also available, and there is a duty-free zone with tax-free shopping.
References

Are there accessible services or children's facilities at the San Diego and Reykjavík airports?

San Diego International Airport offers wheelchair services arranged through your airline and a TSA Cares helpline that should be contacted at least 72 hours before travel; its SAN Assist program provides one-on-one travel guides for passengers with non-visible disabilities such as autism or chronic illness, with guides requested at least three business days in advance and available daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Keflavík International Airport provides reduced-mobility assistance including an eagle hoist for boarding, and passengers should request PRM service through their airline or travel agent, with the hoist preferably requested alongside the PRM service. At Keflavík, families with young children and passengers with special needs receive free fast-track security access.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from San Diego to Reykjavík?

There is no nonstop service between San Diego and Reykjavík, so flights connect through US gateways such as Seattle, Portland, Denver, Baltimore, Orlando, Chicago, Boston, and New York JFK. On the longest legs, Icelandair operates Airbus A321neo from Seattle, Portland, and Orlando, and Boeing 737 MAX 8 from Denver and Baltimore; Delta uses Airbus A321neo and Boeing 767-300 from JFK; United operates Boeing 737 MAX 8 from Chicago; and JetBlue flies Airbus A321 from Boston. Short connecting legs are flown on Boeing 737 MAX 9, 737-900, 737 MAX 8, 767-300, and Airbus A321neo by Alaska, Southwest, United, Delta, and Icelandair.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from San Diego to Reykjavík?

There is no nonstop service between San Diego and Reykjavík; the route is flown as one-stop connections. The airlines operating these connections belong to three alliances — Alaska Airlines (oneworld), Delta Air Lines (SkyTeam), and United Airlines (Star Alliance) — while the dominant long-haul carriers Icelandair, Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue Airways belong to no alliance at all.
