Hello from London Heathrow! I recently shared my initial thoughts on my Icelandair Boeing 737 MAX 8 Saga Premium flight from New York (JFK) to Keflavik (KEF). After then spending several days in Iceland, I continued in Icelandair’s Airbus A321LR Saga Premium on the 2hr50min flight from Keflavik to London (LHR).
The A321LR is only a recent addition to Icelandair’s fleet, breaking the carrier’s practice of operating an all-Boeing jet fleet (The A321 family is just more capable in terms of range, and Icelandair needs that incremental range for some flights). So I was looking forward to trying the carrier’s new plane, and also to see how Icelandair’s service works on the shorter hops between Icelandair and other points in Europe.
In this post, I’d like to share my initial impressions, and then I’ll have a full flight review upon returning home, as usual.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
