Seattle: Icelandair Saga Class from Copenhagen for €468

icelandair business class

Although Icelandair‘s Saga business class can by no means compete with a real long-haul business, it can easily compete with a premium economy. Some included services (lounge access + 2x 32 kg luggage) are even more generous. A great offer from Denmark has now appeared. From Copenhagen, you can get a trip to Seattle for merely €468 (~DKK 3,491). Quite a no-brainer compared to the typical economy prices.

As always in Icelandair’s Saga Class, the option of a stopover in Iceland is also very attractive. You can stay in Iceland for up to 7 days on the way there and/or back. The price increases only slightly to just under €550 if you add such a stopover. More on that is below.

Icelandair uses various aircraft types on the flights. From a Boeing 737 Max (CPHKEF) to a Boeing 757 and Boeing 767, everything is possible. The seating arrangement is 2-2 in the narrowbodies and 2-1-2 in the Boeing 767.

Search & Book

According to the fare rules, the flights can be booked up to November 9, 2022 19:00 CET for travel from January 6 to April 30, 2023. There is no minimum stay. The return flight must take place by the end of April at the latest.

You can find available dates quickly and easily using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights (instructions). You can book for €468 via an OTA found on Skyscanner or for €535 directly on Icelandair’s website.

Stopover on Iceland

With the fastest options, you only have about two hours in Iceland. However, it is possible to stay in Iceland for up to a week for a small fee. The best way to book such a stopover is via Icelandair’s website.

The deal price is then around US$544 (~€504), i.e. almost €10 more than without a stopover. Here is an example with five days in Keflavik in March 2023:

Icelandair’s Saga Class

Icelandair’s Saga Class falls somewhere between premium economy and business class. You get priority at check-in and boarding, you can go to the lounge before departure and choose a seat when you book. In addition to 10 kg of hand luggage, you can check in two more pieces of luggage, each weighing up to 32 kg.

At the same time, the Saga Class only has recliner seats, which are arranged in 2-2 (Boeing 757 and 737 Max) or 2-1-2 (Boeing 767) depending on the aircraft type. The seats cannot be converted into a bed. With a seat spacing of 101 cm, the legroom is however significantly larger than in economy (approx. 80 cm).

Here are some reviews:

Information & Tips for USA

The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.

Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements

The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA)  for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.

The Best Time to Visit

Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.

Currency

The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.
