The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the low hum of wheels on the pavement outside our guesthouse—my suitcase, not mine anymore, rolling away with a BagBee driver who greeted us by name. He double-checked my passport and boarding pass (I fumbled for both, as usual), tagged everything right there on the sidewalk. It felt odd to just hand over all our stuff and watch it disappear toward Keflavik Airport. But honestly? There was relief too. Suddenly we were just… free.

I kept checking my phone out of habit, but the live tracking link showed little photos of our luggage at every stop—kind of funny seeing my battered old duffel looking so official. Our guide (well, driver, but he chatted like a guide) told us stories about other travelers who’d spent their last day in Reykjavik lugging skis around town instead of soaking up the city. He laughed when I asked if anyone ever tried to sneak a puffin plushie into oversized baggage (apparently yes). The air smelled like coffee and sea salt near the harbor as we wandered off for one last cinnamon bun.

By the time we got to Keflavik that evening, I still half-expected some hiccup—but there it was: an email saying our bags had been checked in for our Icelandair flight. We walked right past the long check-in line, straight to security. That small moment—no heavy bags, no stress—felt like such a gift after a week of hauling backpacks through rain and sun. If you’re thinking about using this luggage transfer service from Reykjavik to the airport, I’d say don’t overthink it. I still think about that lightness walking through departures.
