Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.
- Airport transfer · Arriving by air
The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.
- Travel insurance · An international trip
Medical cover abroad and trip cancellation. Priced by the insurer for your party and dates.
- SIM or eSIM · An international trip
Roaming or a local data plan for the days you are away.
- Tips and service charges · Any trip
Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

About Reykjavik
Iceland's capital works as a base rather than the whole destination: the centre is small and walkable, but most of what people travel for sits outside it, along the south coast and the ring road. Iceland is car dependent, so a rental or booked tours drive the trip after accommodation. Summer brings long daylight and the busiest roads; winter is dark, with northern lights and some routes closed.
