SHOCKING ECONOMY FOOD - Icelandair Business Class vs Economy battle
For our latest cabin comparison, TPG UK flew on Icelandair's Boeing 737 MAX 8 from London Heathrow to Keflavik Airport, Iceland. Nicky tried out Saga business class, while Liam headed to the back of the plane and compared the experience to Icelandair’s economy class.

Really nice video once again! :) But I just wanted to comment on the 3$ charge for the economy earphones - I think it makes people more responsible and prevent unnecessary waste. Like you said, not all passengers require them so it is best to not have them handed out to everyone by default, like most airlines do.

Air Europa charges €3 for headphones on a 12h flight. Tickets for those flights are over $800 usd so they should be giving those crappy headphones for free

That's why I really like what Singapore Airlines does, have them out the front for you to grab if you want them!
I've missed you lads, and your reviews; I get giddy and live vicariously through your experiences, each and all. I do hope to see more of your adventures in the near future.

Living vicariously isn’t living. I don’t mean that in a negative sense. Get out there and have your best life 🙂
I always feel sorry if Liam is in economy ☹️
I get so excited when I see a new video! I love living vicariously through you guys and the videos are always fun. Keep up the amazing work!
Good to see you guys back. Liked your video very insightful. Thank you.
I was curious about Saga Class on Icelandair, and this video was excellent. This is my first time watching one of your videos, and guys, the content and delivery are outstanding. Kudos to both of you and your production team! 🙂
I flew with Icelandair last month and I've got to say that even on the 757 and 767 they're a great airline that I will most definitely be flying with again
Love your content! Feels like I'm flying with you guys! cheers from Poland!
I was waiting for the Nicky and Liam video and I’m not disappointed. Such fun 👏🏽
Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much
enjoying the vid so far love the work
I've flown Icelandair a few times now. Really liked it (my daughter really liked it, too).
Hey guys, nice to see you back, love your videos
I really like your content these videos are so nice and you guys give me such a nice vibe i enjoy it every time to watch it. I am glad that you guys are back. Keep going :))
The audio transition at 3:21 deserves a chef's kiss.
I’ve only flown them to and from Seattle to Reykjavik. I upgraded to Saga on my way. The food I had was fine. I think I had salmon. My problem with them, the rtn to the US. There was a storm we weren’t aware of. They didn’t notify us that all flights to N America were cancelled. We found out from the few who were on the bus to the airport, who were not going our way, but still they got an alert. That bus ride was $50-$60 by the way. If we knew, we could have stayed at our hotel in Reykjavik. Once we got to the airport, we were only told the flights were cancelled, and we should come back the next day and maybe there would be flights. I watched other airlines, like WOW give out hotel and food vouchers. They arranged transportation for their passengers. We had to figure it our ourselves in the middle of a horrible storm. So, unless they’ve improved their process, I’ll pass on Icelandair.
Why is Liam always flying economy and nicky always flying in style. Makes no sense

Wow, what a great video showing the terminal at Heathrow International airport and then on to the plane. Two different perspectives one from business class and the other from economy. Overall the feeling from both of you guys is that the airline and it's staff were friendly and on point. Hey, you guys are lucky it seems that the flight is shorter then from my country de USA which is 4 hours and 45 minutes from Newark/New York to Reykjavik. You guys did not show the bathrooms on board the plane. The gent that was flying business class did not show the amenities kit if there was one given also the welcoming by the pilo and purser to all during the flight. Thanks again for the video showing both sides of the coin.
big fan. PLZ make more videos often. They are really good.

Good to see you guys! Iceland Air is not my favorite either.
Awesome flight review. The cabin of Iceland Air's B737 MAX 8 looks very nice. I don't have high expectation for buy-on-board food but the thing you bought sounded too bad.
This is a valid comparison between Business and Economy on the same plane. Unlike some US domestic flights, there's a clear difference between the two classes on IcelandAir. Good video!

you mean unless on european airlines? There is alway a big differennce between business and economy in the us.
Cool vibe in the vid. All the Icelandair lovers are going to hunt you down lol. Icelandair has become a longhaul low-cost style airline (i.e. premium economy; plus buy-on-board economy) reflecting KEF as a hub. As a Premium Economy Saga Class is competitive. In economy, unfortunately the bad buy-on-board offer and general service lags Scoot or Jetstar longhaul, and even Ryanair or Wizz. My main issue is that Icelandair's prices are actually quite expensive, for what is essentially low-co with a PTV.
Great Video as always

On long haul flights it’s very normal. On short domestic flights, especially in Europe, I’m not surprised when there are no headphones or TVs. I don’t necessarily think it’s about travelling on a budget as many airlines provide much more than iceland air even at close/not too far off price points. Iceland air in my opinion are below standard for long haul flights. I think they’re more appropriate for domestic flights.
the airport looks so beautiful

That was disappointing, that Liam didn't get a Bloody Mary. A G&T, as good as it was, is no substitute. And I really enjoyed Nicky's tip on eating cake, just shovel it in. Surprised he didn't do that with his dessert on the flight. Now I must go and find some cake to shovel.

Do westjet 787 economy, business or premium economy
wait a second i was there at the same time you guys were there and in the same town !
The business meal looked really nice. I don't like airlines which don't even offer a sandwich and a coke for free in economy. That's not a nice touch. The rest seems to be nice on board.
Challenge, fly from LHR to Perth Western Australia non direct, all on different airlines, and meet at Forrest Place Perth CBD
what? you have to pay for the meal on icelandic air?
Oh Lord! This December will be my first time taking Icelandair from New York City to Paris France, and of course, I was stupid enough to book the cheapest flight in economy. What sucks is my flight is non-refundable and cannot be upgraded . I would love to sell this ticket and purchase first class instead

I’m looking at a flight from Denver to Reykjavik and they want 630 added to upgrade and the seats don’t even fully recline into beds and the food looks nasty. Doesn’t seem worth the added charge
Airport lounges always seem a bit hit and miss , some have a decent buffet, others are a very stingy bar with a few peanuts. Does icelandair still do the mini burgers? Last took a flight in 2018 and they had a 3 mini hamburger selection which was yummy. Who wants a full meal on a 3 hour flight anyway - lots of restaurants at the destination, with full size burgers
Future videos should on bottom of screen have the flight details plus what plane your on

You guys have to try Biman Bangladesh Airlines 787 dreamliner
What is your longest fly experience ?
I flew Iceland Air Saga in March 2022. Onthe ground its wreck. IA has NO communication with its passengers and check in is a free for all. You have to muscle your way to the feont of the line for check in, boarding, etc. Lounges are git or miss. It depends on the airport. Ryshykagga (whatever) Airport IA lounge is about a kilometer away from the international terminal so its basically useless. In the aor is another matter. Saga is definitely worth it once your flying. Especially internationally. Good food, good headphones, lots of leg room. Worth the extra $$ or €€ or ££
