Hornafjörður Airport (HFN)

Hornafjörður Airport primarily serves as a destination for flights from Reykjavík Airport (RKV). Since it is not a transit hub, most journeys involving HFN start or end here. If you are traveling internationally, your itinerary will likely involve a flight from HFN to Reykjavík Airport (RKV), followed by a ground transfer to Keflavík International Airport (KEF). Note that RKV and KEF are 50 kilometers apart; allow at least 3.5 hours for this transfer to account for baggage collection, travel time, and international security protocols. For domestic connections to other parts of Iceland, you will always transition through Reykjavík Airport. When booking, try to use a single carrier like Icelandair to ensure your baggage is handled efficiently and that you are protected against delays. Domestic check-in at HFN is quick, typically opening 45 minutes before departure and closing 15 minutes prior to take-off. However, given Iceland's unpredictable weather, arriving at the terminal 45 minutes early is wise, particularly during winter when road conditions to the airport can change rapidly. If you are renting a vehicle, coordinate your pickup and drop-off with your flight times, as car rental desks at small airports often synchronize their hours with scheduled arrivals. The drive from the airport to Höfn is only about 5 to 10 minutes. If your flight is delayed due to high winds or fog, the terminal provides a warm place to wait, but food services are limited. Carrying snacks and water is recommended when traveling in regional Iceland, as options at the airport are minimal compared to the town center.
