It's also a popular layover destination, right?

Yes, it's the hub for WOW and IcelandAir, so a lot of people passing through on trans-Atlantic trips.

IcelandAir also allows travelers to split their itinerary for no extra fee, so a few days in Reykjavik isn't too costly (just room/board). I assume WOW does the same.

I was there in mid-January and was amazed how busy both KEF and Reykjavik were for the "offseason." A few locals said there wasn't really an offseason any more.
