Iceland entry at KEF

[ropomo]

I've only flown to Iceland from Europe and didn't have to deal with passport control or customs. How does KEF compare to other airports for entries from the US?

Two years ago when we flew into KEF arriving early in the morning, in summer, entry was very easy and quick and pleasant (though some elevators were broken).

 

Exit (flying back to U.S.) in the afternoon, when many flights to U.S. were leaving was terrible (huge understaffed security lines with no priority line for business class, and intense intrusive security even on 80-year-olds, it was quite bizarre -- plus the bz lounge is pre-security which heightened anxiety) .

As noted, departure from Reykjavik can be a real mess.

 

By the way, there WAS a priority line for business class. It was just hard to find it.

 

The cruise Southampton to Iceland was lightly subscribed while Iceland to Southampton was sold out. Now I know why.

Not flying out of KEF, been there, done that. Interested in immigration process, delays/scrutiny
