Icelandair - 767 300ER - Business Class - Reykjavík (KEF) to Boston (BOS) | TRIP REPORT

Saga Class on Icelandair is a great low-cost alternative to transatlantic business class; granted a quick stopover at the small island nation.

Last year I flew back home from Greenland via Copenhagen and Reykjavik on Air Greenland and Icelandair. I had previously flown in Icelandair's Saga Business Class in 2020 and had a great experience, so I expected the same quality of service and comfort as last time. The product is consistently great with amazing food, exceptional space, and an enthusiastic crew: the 3 most important traits in my eyes.

Iceland is just as cool as the great music you use. Another well produced gem. Thank you for posting this highly enjoyable travelogue

Its Many Years Since I Flown Icelandair And B767.Great Work

[maxbosboom]

The flight was empty with passengers but the cargo hold could be sold out. Iceland is famous for its salmon and also has to import most of the goods they need…

Another trip report, personally it's the first one I've seen involving 767. Great video as always.

[MEGACAB]

I just recently flew on Icelandair. The Max-8. Saga class. The crew, food, and both flights were outstanding.

[alaskafan]

It was great to see your vlog. I hope this means more are on the way. You have been missed.

[lancelot_]

Icelandair is underrated. They offer you quality in a good price, and good experience. From my humble opinion.

[Amtran]

I really enjoyed watching this review. I've never been to Iceland or flown Icelandair but it's on my list now. I'm in Chicago and Icelandair fly's nonstop from here so all the more incentive to try it out. Nice choice of music for this video!

[HumbertoMesa]

Thanks for the ride and the the report. 🇺🇾

[flyingdentist]

Εxcellent flight review.767 is an iconic classic plane.

[strafrag]

Very nice video. Excellent. Cheers, Peter.

[lauriehamilton]

WOW! Now that is classy service! I could live in that lounge HAHA, thanks for the video!

[GregCurtin]

Thank you. Enjoy every second of this trip. The airport looked spotlessly clean and organized for mid-sized airport. Lounge food looked amazing and your meal was probably a top ten for business class product. Even the F.A. seemed sincerely interested in serving passengers. For a 24 y/o plane the IFE moved with ease. (Probably a recent upgrade?) Appreciate the tour of Iceland. It reminded me a bit of driving on the New Brunswick northern coast. It looked to me like a 5/5 trip.
Thanks for the full tour and close ups of the food. I was wondering if you would be in Nome, Al this week with the races so this was an unexpected pleasure. Stay safe and thanks for all the time you put into creating this for us.

[BRTripReport]

I agree with you, their classic livery is much better than the new one.

[tonybobola]

Mr. Soloviev. It is noticeable that your vlogs have matured. The longer intros are welcome and could still be further enhanced. I also notice that you more readily respond to comments whereas previously we hardly ever got a peep out of you ! Travelling vicariously with you ( and at your expense ) is ever more pleasurable. Thank you.

[scottyerkes]

I definitely would have chosen Saga Class. I'm 6ft2in tall and weigh 225pounds. Nice flight. Nice meal.
Thanks Quintin 😀💚

[ronaldcuieii]

Very nice. To sum it all up, am definitely going to have to try Iceland Air. Never heard of berry salt? Wow. How about that and yes, the foods looked absolutely delicious. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

[RobMuir]

Hello QFS. Another very interesting trip report. The braised beef ribs look exceptionally scrumptious. Watching you eat them made me hungry. Surprised that with the extra meal you had that you were able to walk off the aircraft without discomfort. Almost flew Icelandair last year from Toronto to Scotland but the reviews I read (do not know if they were Economy or Saga Class reviews) were not very complementary so my spouse and I went with Air Transat direct to Glasgow instead. If I ever have to make another flight to that area, I will definitely consider Saga Class with Icelandair. Keep up the good work!

[idxluaviation]

amazing video, good too see you're back to icelandair! hope to record from JFK to KEF soon!

[neilhaas]

I like all those model planes there very nice collectibles
