To continue my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, I flew Icelandair’s Airbus A321LR Saga Class on the 2hr50min flight from Keflavik (KEF) to London (LHR). I had flown Icelandair’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 Saga Class from New York (JFK) several days before, and was excited to see how the carrier’s newest plane compared.
Well, I must admit that Icelandair’s A321LR Saga Class is a pretty sweet ride, and nicer than the carrier’s 737 MAX business class. From legroom, to seat comfort, to tech, I think this is Icelandair’s best aircraft, and I’m happy to see the airline increasingly growing its Airbus fleet, after being an all-Boeing operator for so long.
Before I get into the review, let me emphasize that Icelandair’s premium cabin is called Saga Class (or Saga Premium), and it’s somewhere between premium economy and business class. As you can see, I referred to the product as “Saga Business Class” in the title, but that’s simply because people are searching “Icelandair business class” online, even though Icelandair doesn’t really have a business class. Furthermore, when you go to Google Flights, you’ll see Saga Class listed in business class searches. So frame this review in that context, please.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
