There is no timetable from the airport: the coach leaves 30 to 60 minutes after each flight lands, whatever the hour, and a delayed flight keeps your ticket valid for the next coach.

Flybus+ adds the hotel shuttle for ISK 1,300 more. BSÍ is about ten minutes on foot from Hallgrímskirkja, so for the centre the plain ticket is often enough.

A single ticket is one way only. Book the return with it and the second leg is discounted; four or more travelling together are discounted automatically. Neither figure is published, so this page prices full singles.

Seven of you pay ISK 27,993 here against ISK 26,500 in a BSR minibus booked ahead; six pay 23,994 and the coach still wins.

Cash is taken only in króna and only at the airport counter; cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay and WeChat Pay everywhere.
