Icelandair Saga Class
Icelandair’s Saga Class is an interesting mix of business class and premium economy. On one hand, you can check in two bags, have free wi-fi, lounge access (airport list) and breeze through Fast Track security where it’s available. On the other hand, you’ll have recliner seats. While they are nice for European flights, people have mixed opinions of them flying Transatlantic. The airline is now offering most flights on Boeing 737 MAXes and is about to retire their Boeing 757s and Boeing 767s in the near future. According to SeatGuru, the seats on all aircraft have a 40-inch (over a metre) pitch and a universal power outlet.
You can Allplane’s review of the Boeing 737-9 and the Boeing 757 or Thrifty Traveller’s Boeing 737-8 review.
