Important note: Reykjavik has two airports
Almost all international tourist flights arrive and depart from Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport. (Airport code: KEF). There is actually a second, much smaller airport for domestic flights called Reykjavik airport (Airport code: REK). Quite why the Icelandic authorities didn’t call the main international airport Reykjavik Airport remains a mystery.
