The return leg is longer at 5 hours 50 minutes due to prevailing winds, so plan for a bit more time coming back.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Boston to Reykjavík?", "answer": "Yes, Icelandair flies nonstop from Boston to Reykjavík with 35 weekly flights — daily service, with up to seven departures a day ranging from late morning to late evening.

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule" ] }, "q2": { "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Boston to Reykjavík?", "answer": "For United States citizens, a visa is not required for a short tourist visit to Iceland.

Taxis are available but are quite expensive for the long distance, and ride-sharing services like Uber are not established in Iceland.

The Blue Line subway to Airport Station plus a free shuttle is another cheap option, while ride-share services like Uber and Lyft offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost. Taxis are available at all terminals and are pricier than public transit but more direct than the bus, and driving yourself means using Central Parking, Terminal Garages, or the cheaper Economy Parking, though parking fees can add up. The Silver Line is generally fastest and most popular for city-center travelers because it avoids traffic and has no transfer, while Logan Express buses serve Back Bay and other neighborhoods for a middle-ground price.", "toolsUsed": [ "article_lookup" ], "references": [ { "url": "https://www.massport.com/logan-airport/getting-to-logan/taxi-limos", "title": "Taxis and Limos | Massport", "favicon": "https://www.massport.com/themes/custom/massport/favicon.ico" }, { "url": "https://www.massport.com/logan-airport/getting-to-logan/public-transportation", "title": "Public Transportation to Logan Airport | Massport", "favicon": "https://www.massport.com/themes/custom/massport/favicon.ico" }, { "url": "https://massport.com/logan-airport/getting-to-logan", "title": "How to Get to Logan Airport | Massport", "favicon": "https://massport.com/themes/custom/massport/favicon.ico" }, { "url": "https://www.massport.com/logan-airport", "title": "Boston Logan International Airport | Massport", "favicon": "https://www.massport.com/themes/custom/massport/favicon.ico", "time_published": "2026-06-08T00:00:00Z" }, { "url": "https://www.massport.com/logan-airport/getting-to-logan/water-transportation", "title": "Ferry & Water Taxi to Logan Airport | Massport", "favicon": "https://www.massport.com/themes/custom/massport/favicon.ico" } ] }, "q14": { "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Reykjavík airport?", "answer": "Reykjavík Keflavík Airport has no transit hotel inside the terminal, but the Airport Hotel Aurora sits directly on airport grounds, a three-minute walk from the terminal.
