Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
There's also a weekday link with Vopnafjörður and Þórshöfn in northeast Iceland. All other
domestic (and international) flights are routed via Reykjavík.
Icelandair
AIRLINE
Has two weekly flights from June to September from Keflavík, meaning international trav-
ellers arriving into Iceland don't need to travel to Reykjavík's domestic airport to connect
to Akureyri. These flights are only bookable as part of an international flight to and from
Iceland with Icelandair.
BUS
Bus services are ever-changing in Iceland, so it pays to get up-to-date information on
schedules and fares, from the companies themselves (websites are handy) or from tourist
information centres. We list routes and fares from summer 2014.
Akureyri's
bus station
is the hub for bus travel in the north provided by SBA-Norður-
leið and Sterna; Strætó operates from a stop in front of Hof. (Note: there is talk of building
a central bus terminal that will serve all operators, so it pays to double-check departure
points).
If you need to return to Reykjavík, consider taking an all-terrain bus route through the
interior highlands, rather than along Rte 1.
