"Welcome to Iceland! We arrived at 11 am and took our car. There are many rentals but the ones we found most affordable are Lotus and Blue Car Rental. We took the full insurance because of the strong wind. We recommend you doing the same even if you have to spend a bit more. At the airport there is the duty free open h24. If you have to get your drinks for the nights in the hut please buy it here! Out there the price is more than double due to iceland high taxes on alcohol. While credit card is generally accepted, take some local currency here if you want to buy souvenirs from small local shops."

"Keflavík Airport is Iceland’s international airport. It was built by the Americans during World War II, reestablished as a military base in the 1950s, and continues to expand as the number of visitors to Iceland rapidly grows. It’s now Icelandair’s hub. Expect a modern terminal and long lines at check in, immigration, and security. If you aren’t renting a car, the Airport Express and Flybus buses are the easiest ways to reach Reykjavík (about 45 minutes). A high-speed train is supposedly in the works."

"Keflavik Airport (KEF) is the international airport in Iceland that you will be flying into.
Note: If you are wanting alcohol at all during your trip, you should know that spirits were banned in Iceland until 1989. With that being said, there are not a lot of cheap options. If you plan to drink at home, stop at the duty-free liquor store before leaving the airport. Otherwise, there is only 1 state-owned liquor store downtown and it closes fairly early."
