How to get lounge access at Reykjavik Keflavik Airport
The Icelandair Saga Lounge at Keflavík follows Icelandair's own access list: Saga Premium passengers, Saga Club Silver and Gold members, and holders of eligible credit cards. Icelandair does not belong to an airline alliance, and no lounge membership programme covers KEF, so check your ticket or tier against Icelandair's rules before you fly.
Saga Premium ticket
A Saga Premium ticket on an Icelandair departure from Keflavík is the most direct way into the Saga Lounge. Icelandair lists Saga Premium passengers first on its lounge access page.
Saga Club Silver or Gold
Icelandair Saga Club Silver and Gold members are on Icelandair's published access list for the Saga Lounge. Guest rules depend on the tier, so check them in your Saga Club account.
Eligible credit cards
Icelandair says holders of eligible credit cards can use the Saga Lounge. It does not list Amex Platinum or Priority Pass-linked cards, so confirm that your specific card is on Icelandair's list before relying on it.
Priority Pass and DragonPass
Neither Priority Pass nor DragonPass has a lounge at Keflavík. If your access comes only from a lounge membership, plan to wait at the gate area or in the terminal's cafés and restaurants.
Reykjavik Keflavik Airport lounge tips
Check your access before you fly
- —Icelandair is not in an alliance, so Star Alliance, oneworld or SkyTeam status alone is not on Icelandair's published Saga Lounge list.
- —Saga Club Silver and Gold, Saga Premium tickets and eligible credit cards are the routes Icelandair names.
- —Priority Pass, DragonPass and Amex Platinum do not open a lounge at KEF.
Finding the Saga Lounge
- —The lounge is airside, so clear security first; there is nothing landside.
- —Official pages give no gate for the entrance; signage in departures points the way.
- —Allow for passport control too if your flight leaves from the non-Schengen gates.
Timing around the hours
- —Icelandair publishes 05:00–20:00 GMT as the normal daily window and warns that it can change.
- —Iceland keeps GMT all year with no daylight saving, so the clock times do not shift in summer.
- —A late-evening departure may fall after closing, so check the hours on Icelandair's site for your date.
