TRIP REPORT | Icelandair - 767 300 - New York (JFK) to Reykjavík (KEF) | Business Class

Welcome to another trip report!
On January 23, I flew Icelandair in their "Saga Premium" Business Class from New York's JFK Airport to Reykjavík-Keflavík Airport. Their Business Class cabin has 25 recliner seats with a unique 2-1-2 configuration, but one could say the seats are designed more as Premium Economy than Business Class. I had an amazing flight because I was extremely impressed with the comfort, service, and staff friendliness.
I hope you enjoy this trip report!

Great views on departure mate...well done !! Hustlers...mmm Some years ago I flew from Melbourne (Australia) to Wellington in New Zealand and they had an uncensored version of the "Wolf of Wall Street" on the entertainment but you were asked to check there were no children around when you watched it...great film and lots of...you know what !! Wonderful trip report and vision Q...really enjoyed it mate and I trust you are safe and well in these most strange times !! Might have to pop Iceland on my list !!

    This was a very nice trip report. That take off from New York was wonderful and you use lovely music in this clip. Loved it. Had flown Icelandair several times, both eco and business class, and I confirm, that the staff was always very friendly. The food, especially in business class, is great, as is the service. However it can be challenging to fly from North America to Europe via Keflavik (you do not land in Reykjavik!) due to the fact, that the flights are pretty short, which means, that you just have a bit more than 3 hours of rest left between meal service and landing. Nevertheless I would choose that routing again, because I hate long flights and getting some proper air in between and be able to strech your legs is better than sitting 8 or more hours in a plane, where the air is getting worse the longer the flight. Recommend to visit Iceland on a stop-over, too. The Keflavik airport environment looks more like you just landed on the moon, but this country has a lot to offer. Looking forward to getting there again.
