Is one hour enough time?

Hi there!
Iceland Air just changed my layover time from two hours allowed to change planes to one hour. Having not been there before, is one hour enough time?
Thanks!

Where are you changing planes to? In Schengen or out of Schengen?

If going to a non-Schengen country, you stay in the general area of your arrival and head off to your next gate.

If to a Schengen country, you will have to clear Passport Contol at Keflavik.

Either way, Keflavik is very efficient at doing this. Unless your arriving plane is very late, you should be okay.

We flew IcelandAir out of Seattle last summer and had a short layover in Reykjavik (55-60) minutes before flying to Munich.
Initially, I was worried about the short layover, but my daughter had flown IcelandAir the previous summer and convinced me it would be fine---and she was right, it was plenty of time. The airport is small enough to get to your next flight smoothly.
