I'm a bti confused with the prices - the super special very limited price is higher than last year's not-nearly-so-limited early-bird price, whilst the full price is lower than last year's full price.
It seems a bit like the people who book early are being penalised this time around, whilst those who book later are (relative to last year at least) getting a better deal. |

Because I want to go there for my 1st fanfest, I would love some more information before making plans. I am young so the more info the better :)
1. The flight to Iceland and accomodations are for me to get myself, correct? And are not included with the early bird special offer? - If so, how much will that usually cost?(I am coming from The Netherlands)
2. One of the reasons I want to go to iceland is I heard you can see the Northern Light/Aurora Borealis, will they be visible during march?(I heard they are only visible during certain months)
3. How cold does it usually get? I get that I must pack warm clothes, but should I go with really warm clothes?
4. How much money is recommended to have with me? As in how expensive will it be to be there for a week(If I go there, I go there for at least a week...) without doing outrageous drinking?(I am not into alcohol, so that is not a problem for me)
I am sure I got more questions later, but those are the ones that spring to mind. Any information is really helpful to prepare for me, to get money saved up etc. so thanks to anyone who shares some info |

1) You are responsible for your own flight and loding. As it gets closer to the date, Icelandair will generally offer a package deal to include the hotel and flight. The tickets currently offered are just for admission to the convention. A corpmate who came from The Netherlands booked VERY late (about 3 weeks before) and he spent approx $1700 for flight and lodging. I booked 5 months early and I only spent $1200
2) They should be available during that time: http://www.grand.is/travel-tips/best-time-to-see-northern-lights-in-iceland/
3) During march expect ranges from -2C to +4C (28F - 37F) You will need cold weather coats and gloves. Don't forget Reykjavik is a harbor.
4) I brought $1500 with me and I still had some left over. Just know that Reykjavik is an expensive city. Beer is $8 ($4 on happy hour) a mix drink can be $15 and a pack of smokes runs about $11. Souvenirs and shopping is also expensive as well.
Hope this helps, I just got back from my first fanfest this year and just bought my ticket for 2015. Start saving now and hope to see you there!

Thanks a ton! Guess I better start saving up to go there then...I have...29 cents! Yeah!(admitted that low amount is due to family loans...Gé¼280 loaned out currently...)
The temperatures will feel colder though due to the wind I am guessing? But I should be able to handle the temperature I'm guessing...But better clothed too warm than hypothermia.
And good thing I hate smoking/drinking alcohol! Doubt I'll bring anything for my family as well...So that should cut the non-living expenses by a ton at least.
I'll go look into a job I think, student pay(Yeey Netherlands! Paying students for going to school) isn't high enough for that...Although with smart spending in the coming 10 months, who knows!
But anyway, thanks a ton for the info again. And I hope I will meet all you lovely folks there next year :)

1) For the flight, Iceland Air from Schiphol is your best option, and should be ~250-300 or so for a return ticket, if you book early (and since we know 10 months in advance, you will) it may well be less.
The Iceland Air Hotel packages usually aren't bad, but quite limited in terms of duration, if you intend to stay longer than say 4-5 days or so, it's probably easier to book the hotel separately, in my experience (last time I went was 2011) the hotels in Reykjavik aren't that expensive either, the CenterHotel Skjaldbreid (which is just up the Laugavegur from the Harpa, 10 minutes walk away) was something like Gé¼60 per night for late March.
2) The Aurora should be visible solar activity permitting, it's March so it'll be dark relatively early which helps. Keep an eye on sites like Spaceweather.com for big solar-flares, it takes an ejection about 3 days to get to earth, time your excursion with the arrival of one.
3) Unlike the name suggests, Iceland isn't that cold, it'll usually about the same as the Netherlands in that time of year, so just below freezing to just above freezing generally. The wind can be rather nasty though, as you're very close to water at all times in Reykjavik, and the weather is extremely variable. Expect a normal day to include snow, rain, blue skies and everything in between in rapid succession.
4) Alcohol and candy is exceptionally expensive compared to the Netherlands, everything else was reasonable depending on where you went (Perlan, while a cool restaurant is pricey as all hell for instance).
Expect to pay around Gé¼40-Gé¼50 for a hot meal at a mid-to-high range restaurant. A meal at "American Style" on Tryggvagata for instance won't cost you much more than Gé¼20-Gé¼25 or so and the portions are generous to put it mildly. You'll pay Gé¼10-Gé¼12 for a sub at Nonnabiti (these are delicious I might add), but again cheaper options are available, and the super-markets are quite well stocked too.
Shop smart and look stuff up (the number of restaurants with full menus on their site is rather high) and budget accordingly.
I may have to look into going to Fanfest again, looking all this stuff up is bringing back a lot of fond memories. |

Wow you're starting early aren't you. I have been wanting to go to fanfest for a while and couldn't allow myself to buy a ticket this year having not worked for 9 months out of the year, but I have solved my cashflow problem and am ready for next year. Any idea when the hotels and airlines might be doing discounts on packages? Can I buy hotel and airfare now and come out paying less than I would when those discounts go up?
I too need to come up with a budget. I have some savings and could probably afford to buy everything now, but I want to make sure I know what I am doing first, and having money set aside specifically for the vacation is good for budgeting. I'm coming from the southwest US (Phoenix AZ). (also what's the air port code there? I like to search by that (eg when looking for flights to LA I search "PHX to LAX [date]")
Also as a hot weather denizen I have no idea about cold weather clothing. Freezing temperatures are uncommon here.

Like was said in earlier posts, Iceland in March isn't that cold. 25-35F is what you can expect, so a warm coat and light gloves should be more than sufficient, it's more important that the coat keeps the wind out than anything else, that's what makes it feel cold.
According to some weather data I googled, low-temperatures in December for Phoenix (December 6th 2013 was ~36F) are about the highest you can expect, that should give you some indication at least. |

That sounds about right. I never liked it that cold but I MIGHT have a jacket that will suffice if it dips a little below that.

I think I almost certainly go for my first time. I will reach 10 years of eve non-stop subscription late october this year and it will be like my GÇ£eve decadeGÇ¥ celebration expedition. However, I have some doubts, of course.
The first one is the cold. I live at Brazil in a warm place, around 30-¦C during day, so I have zero experience in cold weather, and I need lots and lots of tips to not become a frozen snowman.
Second, since I will fly overseas to some city at Europe, and then catch the fly to Reykjavik, where are the most easy / best city to get it?
Finally, I would like to stay more days, like 10 to 15 days, to know better the place and surroundings. Travel that far are a bit expensive, and it is better (and more economic) enjoy the most of country in one go. So, what you guys recommend for me?
Thank you all in advance, and sorry for my truncate English. Castelo |

2) Do you have a lot of experience with the hotels there? Which ones are good, which ones are bad etc.? 3) Looking forward to it, sounds mostly like our country anyway 4) Not candy! Nooo!! - But I'll do some digging and see which places might be good to go. But any recommendations are welcome.
I really hope I can go, will be interesting as my first flight...With fear of heights (But I want to GTFO of Netherlands anyway, so I better do it sooner rather than later)
Btw, do they speak proper english there? Or should I start learning sign language? |

2) I don't really have a lot of experience with the hotels, but generally speaking the Center Hotels (there's like 4 of them) are pretty good at fairly reasonable prices, and more or less all of them are close to the Harpa where Fanfest is held. I've been to fanfest twice, both times staying for 10 days minimum, the first time I had a hotel close to the Hilton, and that's ~40 minutes walk from the city center, no use to you for this fanfest. The 2nd time I stayed at the Skjaldbreid, which is an average 3-star hotel, nothing fancy, but fairly large rooms and decent beds. The breakfast buffet there is again, nothing special, but good enough for my needs.
Do count on the hot water everywhere smelling a bit like rotten eggs, as there's a little dissolved hydrogen sulphide in there because it's generally geothermally heated water. You'll get used to it in a day or two.
3) Well, apart from the extreme emptiness, which is totally unlike the Netherlands. Taking the shuttle-bus from Kevlavik International Airport (where you arrive) to Reykjavik is quite an experience the first time, the landscape is incredibly desolate and alien, unlike anything I've seen before.
4) Hereford Steakhouse is pretty nice, but a little more up-market (ie. expensive), American Style is restaurant quality fast food (ie. your food looks like the pictures on the menu for a change), very tasty and not expensive. Nonnabiti is a must visit, even if it's only once, best subs and sandwiches in town. Austur has a rather nice menu too, but again a little up-market.
Don't really remember any more off the top of my head, but most restaurants in the center are at least decent value for money.
As for English, most people below the age of 50 or so will speak at least a little English, and most will actually be pretty good at it. Never had any issues with the language barrier in Rekja |

Friends who was at FanFest this year said that almost everyone they talk around Reykjavik was very proficient at english, and they do not run in any situation where they were not able to communicate.
Meanwhile, since we have 10 months to be prepared to FanFest, I recommend this site (http://icelandiconline.is) to get you in touch with some basic Icelandic words. It is always nice to say some greeting and thanks.
And thank you Ruric, Meiyang Lee and Merida for the helpful tips. I am still waiting for more info.
