Icelandair Business Class

Icelandair flies from its Keflavík hub to 60 destinations across Europe and North America, offering a free stopover in Iceland on transatlantic routes. Saga Premium is NOT a lie-flat product on any aircraft in the fleet — it's a spacious recliner, closer to US domestic first class than international business class, but flown reviews consistently rate the meal service and comfort well for the relatively short flight times Icelandair operates.

The Airline

About Icelandair

A comprehensive look at Icelandair's premium cabins, service philosophy, route network, and what makes them worth flying.

Airline overview

Founded in 1937, Icelandair is headquartered in Iceland and operates to 60+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Boeing 737 MAX 8, Boeing 737 MAX 9, Airbus A321LR, Boeing 767-300ER and Boeing 757-200 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Icelandair operates independently of major global alliances, with select bilateral partnerships for codesharing.

The business class experience

Icelandair Saga Premium features Recliner (NOT lie-flat on any aircraft) — 2-1-2 layout on 767, similar to US domestic first class. Seat width is 20.5 inches and fully extended bed length is 40 inch legroom (not a bed — moderate recline only) — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Icelandair's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE (MAX), personal device streaming (other types). Dining on Icelandair: Icelandic-inspired cuisine, skyr, Arctic char. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Saga Lounge (KEF). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at select US airports. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Icelandair business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“Set the right expectation: no aircraft in this fleet offers a lie-flat bed — Saga Premium is a genuinely comfortable recliner, not a suite. The free Iceland stopover remains a unique, genuine selling point worth planning around. Short transatlantic flight times make the lack of a bed less of an issue than on longer routes. Icelandic cuisine is surprisingly good.”
