Small but beautiful Iceland may seem expensive for the average traveler, but those who decide to fly here are guaranteed an extraordinary enjoyment of rare beauty landscapes and unique natural phenomena. Direct flights to Iceland's airports from Moscow are not yet on the schedule of any airline, but with connections in Stockholm, Oslo or Helsinki, you can get here on the wings of several Scandinavian air carriers. The second way is to fly through St. Petersburg on Island Air planes. You will have to spend up to 4 hours in the sky, excluding connections.

Metropolitan direction
Reykjavik Airport is often used as a connecting and refueling point for a certain class of aircraft on transatlantic routes. Its runways allow it to do so without hindrance. Built during the Second World War, Iceland's capital airport has become today one of the most important in Europe.
Regular flights from Reykjavik are operated by Icelandair to dozens of cities around the world, including Amsterdam, Brussels, Helsinki, New York, Paris, Washington, Zurich, Munich, Oslo, Glasgow and Frankfurt.

In the summer, Icelandic citizens can take advantage of charter flights and relax at sea in Slovenia, Turkey, Italy and Spain.
The 50 kilometers separating the air gate from the capital can be covered by public transport. Taxi transfers are very expensive.
