With an average layover of about an hour and a half, Icelandair now gives travelers the opportunity to spend some time in Europe's best airport en route.

Passengers describe Keflavik International Airport as comforting, cozy and having a friendly atmosphere. Travelers also noted the airport's huge range of duty free stores and great value shopping. With approximately 130 airports involved, The ACI survey is the world's leading index for airport customer satisfaction ratings. In addition, due to the strong value of the U.S. dollar against the Icelandic kronur, Iceland has been named a Top 10 Best Value Destination for 2010 by The Lonely Planet Travel Guide making duty free shopping an even greater bargain.
