Gates

Keflavík Airport has 3 different Gate areas in total; A, C and D. Your point of origin and ultimate destination determine which Gates you will use during your transfer – flights to and from the US, UK and Canada go through D Gates, while flights to and from Europe (the UK notwithstanding) go through Gates A or C.

This means that if your point of origin is the US, UK or Canada and your ultimate destination is in Europe, you will disembark at D Gate and find your connecting flight in either A or C Gate, and vice versa. It also means that if your point of origin is the US and you’re headed to the UK (or vice versa) you will land in D Gate and find your connecting flight in D Gate. You can use the information screens found all over the airport to locate your connecting flight.

A few pointers to keep in mind

PASSPORT CONTROL

If your point of origin is the US, UK or Canada and your ultimate destination is Europe (the UK notwithstanding) – and vice versa – you will have to leave D Gate and pass through Passport Control located on the second level of the airport.

TRAVEL TIMES

The walking distance between D and Passport Control takes around 10 minutes to cover. The distance between Passport Control and A or C alson takes around 10 minutes to cover. This means that your travel time between D Gates and A&C Gates through Passport Control can only take a maximum of 20 minutes given normal conditions at the airport.

BAGGAGE

Your baggage will automatically be transferred to your connecting flight, unless your departing flight and your connecting flight are booked with different airlines. In that case, you need to locate your baggage in the Arrival area before checking in to your connecting flight. For more information, please contact your airline service provider.

Transferring through Keflavík is not only simple and easy – it’s cozy and laid-back as well.

We hope you really enjoy your time.
