If possible avoid a stop-over in the US as the extra security hassle is not worth it. Travellers with children should be aware that strollers and sandals may be x-rayed several times during a stop over. If you can fly to Europe and then to Iceland (on Iceland Express, for example) do that. It is perhaps best to use the UK as an entry point to Iceland, as it faces less rigourous checks than some other European countries.
Iceland is easily reached via air, the international airport is Keflavik, in the South West of the country about 40 km from Reykjavik.
The airport itself is quite barren; if you have a lengthy layover you should make sure to bring books or other entertainment.
An airport transfer bus service (called the FlyBus) runs between the airport and Reykjavik bus terminal via various hotels (1100 Kr [1200Kr from 01 Jan 07], 45 minutes). A return is 300 Kr cheaper than 2 singles. Another great option is to take the bus which stops at the Blue Lagoon either to or from the airport, then continues every half hour or so to Reykjavik.
Be warned, a metered taxi costs about 9500 krona (roughly US$140).
Direct flights from New York City, Boston, Minneapolis, Orlando, Baltimore, San Francisco and most major European (i.e. Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Helsinki, London, Oslo, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Munich, Paris, Stockholm and Zurich) airports are available, especially since Icelandair uses Keflavik as a hub (note that some are only during the summer months).
Another option is the low cost airline Iceland Express which flies from Copenhagen and London (Stansted) to Keflavik (with additional service during the summer month to Frankfurt Hahn, Berlin Schönefeld, Friedrichshafen, Alicante, Gothenburg and Stockholm Arlanda).
In addition to this British Airways will offer flights from London and SAS from Oslo starting in 2006.
The Icelandic travel search engine dohop.com finds low cost flights to Reykjavik from 200 cities in Europe. Make sure you check out all prices as the so called "low cost" option may not be the lowest cost option at all.
If possible, avoid flying with IcelandAir as their staff is extremely unprofessional and will not help if you have a travel problem. In addition, if you bought your tickets through an internet service or travel agent they will not refund or grant vouchers in the event that you were unable to make your flight.
