The Experience

First thing I noticed at Keflavik Airport wasn’t the cold — it was the way my driver, Jón, held up my name like he actually expected me. I’d messaged him on WhatsApp after grabbing my bag (my phone barely had signal but somehow it worked), and there he was, just past arrivals, waving with this easy smile. He even helped me wrangle my suitcase, which was heavier than I remembered packing. Jón asked if I’d slept on the plane — I hadn’t — and told me not to worry about the time since they track flights anyway. That tiny detail felt like a relief after a long haul.

The drive from Keflavik to Reykjavik is about 45 minutes but it’s weirdly calming — flat lava fields, moss that looks fake until you see it up close, and these low clouds that make everything feel quiet. The car was clean and warm (thank god), and Jón pointed out where the old US army base used to be. He said something about how the weather changes every ten minutes here; he wasn’t kidding because halfway through we hit this sudden mist that made everything outside look washed out. For a second I just watched the windshield wipers go back and forth — almost hypnotic.

We talked a bit about Reykjavík neighborhoods and where’s good for coffee (he swears by one place near Hallgrímskirkja). There was no rush — he said waiting for passport control or baggage is always included in this private transfer, so people don’t need to stress if flights are late or lines are long. Honestly, after so many shuttle buses in other countries where you wait forever or get crammed in with strangers, this felt… well, like someone actually thought about what tired travelers need. When we pulled up right outside my guesthouse door, Jón helped with my bag again and wished me “góða nótt.” I still think about that first quiet drive into town when I hear Icelandic on the street now.
