Airport and downtown

Hi,
I'll spend 10 hours in Reijkiavik (oops for the spelling)
on June the 17, the greatest holiday for Icelanders. I
think I'd like to see some of it instead of getting bored
in the airport waiting for my next plane. Could someone
tell me how far is the airport from downtown? I've also
heard that Iceland is horribly expensive, would it be
possible to go downtown with public transportation instead
of a taxi?
Any recommendations would be great.
Thanks in advance
Claire

1. Keflavick-Reykjavik Added by: Monkey Velocity (g_v_w@yahoo.com)

   Keflavick International Airport is about 45 minutes from
   Reykjavick airport, But don't worry Keflavick is a small
   airport and while exiting the airport you are basically
   herded by the flybus to the city center of reykjavik. The
   bus costs 700 ISK and the service will pretty much take you
   anywhere you want to go.
   ps Look into doing the Blue Lagoon (15 mins from the
   airport) during your 10 hours (its as nice as chilling in
   the city) so many pretty icelandic folks hanging about :)

   Dear Monkey,
   Thank you so much for the info. Sure I'll go to the Blue
   Lagoon and have a drink for you!
   Do you think it's possible to go back to the airport on a
   public bus?
   Thanks again.

   the fly bus is really is the cheapest way to get to the
   city center and back, (in my experience)
   there are busses to and from the blue lagoon on the flybus
   line - just ask at the kiosk - by the exit to the busses
   they were very nice and greatly helpful...
