Reykjavik

Icelandair's recent success has turned KEF into a mess. I suppose the airport authority simply can't keep pace with the airline's growth spurt.

We spent our short layover in a terminal bursting at the seams with lines of people waiting for their connecting flights. And then spent 30 minutes closed in a warm bus on the tarmac while they sorted out a problem with the plane.

Someday we'll take advantage of a stopover in Iceland and spend a few days, but maybe better to pair that with a Mediterranean vacation, not a Scandinavian one. Not to dismiss either one, but Iceland and Norway are sort of in the same category, and we'd already seen plenty of arctic landscapes.
