Ah man, I gotta drive for 5 minutes to get to the fanfest...
I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, with all the traffic lights, gas usage and stuff :/
I feel so sorry for myself, it's gotta be the furthest anyone's traveling to the fanfest

At what time does the fanfest open/events start on the 1st Nov? As the standard package from Icelandair wouldnt get me to the hotel much before 18:00, so am wondering if its worthwhile booking to arrive the day before...
Has a schedule for the event been drafted yet? Even it is really is subject to change?

Thursday, 1 November, is mainly the registration day. You come to the venue, register, and then it's just some mingling with the other people. It's a very informal thing, most big events wont start until friday. And if anyone can't make it Thursday because of a late flight, you will still be able to register on Monday.

Hey fellas, I'm kinda worried about the shuttle ride from Keflavik airport to the Reyjavik hotel.... How long is it? The flight is supposed to arrive at Keflavik at 6am, but when does the fanfest open up? When does the shuttle get to the hotel? When we arrive, will the hotel be strict about check in times? I'm coming from Las Vegas, NV, USA, and a day's worth of travel will warrant a washing of one's ass, I'm sure!
Please, I'd like to get a reply from someone who has actually gone before, not from someone who feels like sayin "meh, it should take A, B, and C ammounts of time..."
That's really the only thing that's got me worried... the shuttle ride from Keflavik to Reyjavik seems like it'd take a LONG time!!! Feel free to reply to me via eve-mail!! As a matter of fact, I'd prefer it!

When you arrive at the airport you just go to pick up your bags and then it's a quick exit. Outside the airport there will be a flybus, it costs about 1200 ISK, I would suggest you get some ISK through your bank prior to leaving but you can just use the ATM at the airport. You get on the bus, pay them and tell them what hotel you're going to. The bus goes to the BS- terminal in Reykjavik where you either have to change bus to your hotel or remain on the current bus, depending on what hotel you're going to. But you don't have to worry, they will tell you everything, and you can always ask them anything you want to know, they all speak english. The whole thing generally takes about 50 minutes.
I'm assuming you're arriving at 6 am on Thursday, but even so you should reach the hotel around 0700-0730 or so, you shouldn't have a problem checking in. We haven't decided on a time when the Fanfest opens, but Thursday is mainly registration, I would guess around noon. During and after that there will be some mingling and some events to liven things up, the major things won't start until Friday though, so those of you arriving on friday wont miss anything.
And I've been going to the Fanfest since 2004, even if I fly from Sweden and not the US.

That is the only flight Icelandair has to Sweden on Sundays, if you want to avoid it you can contact Icelandair customer support and see if you can add a day so you wont leave until Monday. Then you can use Sunday for a trip to the Blue Lagoon. Or you can just party all Saturday evening and sleep on the plane.

This might help some.
This is a great map of the venue. Click 'hybrid' for a satellite view. (You need java for some of the advanced functions)
The Map
With this Map24 service you can most likely find your hotel if you have the address and plot courses and see distances. Very nice tool for planning ahead ;)

Originally by: CCP Wrangler Also, the Icelandair UK booking page now works as intended. It still says that the Fan Fest events take place on 2nd and 3rd Nov, which isn't true, although the main events are those days 1st Nov will also see some Fanfest activities.
The UK page is indeed working now as I just booked my trip.
Just remember to add a third night or you will miss the last day due to the 8:30 departure in the morning.
We're sorry, something happened.

Originally by: CCP Wrangler
Originally by: Leeloo Lamenti I went to the Icelandair to check out the deals (I'm in Canada), and I saw that when leaving from Minneapolis I can get 3 additional nights from 49$ a night. I figure sweet gig - but when I actually try to book it from Minneapolis I can only get the standard package of 3 nights or whatever.
Is this something EVE needs to discuss with Icelandair?
You can see the Minneapolis deal quote here
I'd really like to go, but without this additional nights deal it makes the cost somewhat unfeasabile. Anybody know what the real deal here is?
Thanks.
I think you might need to contact them for additional days, best is to contact their Customer Support first and ask how it works.
Originally by: Bozse Just hoping there will be a package from Gothenburg this year and not only Stockholm
I don't know, but there's always Copenhagen, and I believe there are trains going straight from Gothenburg to Copenhagen via the airport, otherwise you could just switch trains at Malm÷.
Just an update... I emailed IcelandAir tech support and they fixed the Minneapolis bug (it's now 6 nights instead of 3), however you can't pick a hotel. I've since emailed them to let them know and am awaiting reply.

Last time alot of us got pretty drunk during this supposed "mingling", was a nice start to 3 days drunk in a row.

Well, it'll be a bit more than just mingling this year, with some events to make things more fun than just randomly walk around trying to talk to people. I'm sure you can still get drunk though.

I solo booked this one from Manchester UK, now because flights from there are only on a Monday and Friday I decided to make a week out of it, Monday 29th Oct - Monday 5th Nov. Flight was a piffling 180 quid return. Hotel another 241 quid at the cabin for the whole week (don't contact the hotel directly - they wanted about 80 quid a night when I did that) go through an online broker for a decent price.
Booked it THEN told the wife I was going to Iceland for a week.
