- In this video, I review my flight from Reykjavik to Chicago in Icelandair's 737 MAX 8 Saga Class cabin. I explore the flight experience and assess the seats, service, food, drinks, in-flight entertainment, and amenities. I also share my thoughts at the end of the video as to whether I think Saga Class is worth the extra money.

Awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing! This was so helpful!!
I’m so glad it was helpful! 😊😊
Just discovered your flight review on my feed. Very nicely made, thanks for sharing
Awesome, thank you!☺️
A wonderful informative review covering everything one would need to know flying Saga class on IcelandAir. Loved being able to see everything through your camera, including the size of the seats, leg room and even the meal. It felt like I was right there with you on the flight.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Great review! Look forward to more.
Thank you! I'll definitely be posting more reviews, so stay tuned! :)
Thanks Mel I really enjoyed your review of Saga class.
I'm so glad!
Subscribed! This was a helpful format for me to help choose for an upcoming flight to Europe with my family ☺️
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Also happy to have you here! 😊
@@MelsMilesandPoints super helpful! Looks almost like something between business and premium economy which is perfect 👍🏼 excited to see more!
Just popped into my recommendations out of nothing… wel made video keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks!! I appreciate it!
A fair review. Thank you.
My pleasure! 😁
@@MelsMilesandPoints I am looking at booking a business class flight from Europe to Portland OR - icelandair is showing as the cheapest by a few hundred pounds. Its an 18 hour flight though (via Seattle) and even though there is a stopover in Reykjavik; I think for me, on a long flight, given the fact it is a few hundred £’s different - having seen the difference between what I saw in your video and the lie flat options available with other airlines, your review has made me rule out flying with them this time. I would have regretted my choice if I had booked with them; it looks like premium economy with a business lounge added to me! You did well to get your flight via the auction process - but as you say, that is NOT guaranteed! Thank you, I am now subscribed❤️
Yes, for an 18-hour flight, I would want a lie-flat seat too. My flight was from Reykjavik to Chicago, and I don't sleep as much going that direction, so it was the perfect fit for me in that situation. But for a longer, overnight flight, a lie-flat seat is the way to go. Thanks for subscribing! ❤
I tried it and I love it. I usually can not sleep in the plane evem in business class but I slept for a few hours on my flight back to Vancouver.
That's great to hear! I slept surprisingly well too!
Thanks for the review. I think it would be helpful if you shared what you actually paid for your ticket and how much you bid for your upgrade, as well as a comparison to what it would have cost to book Saga class from the beginning.
I don't have the exact numbers unfortunately (I didn't record what the original Saga Class price would have been - wish I had), but I remember it was much cheaper to do the bid. The only risk is that it's not guaranteed😅
I am a retired Flight Attendant and here to tell you unfortunately today in 2023 , this is actually more and better then what you will get in the so called “First Class” in the US. Sadly the new generation running the airlines have no clue wha5 they are doing and running the companies 8k to the ground….
I generally prefer the international airlines for that very reason. Honestly, Icelandair was a nice surprise! 😄
Looks like fun! I need to check out that movie! Lol
Strangest movie ever!! 😂
Amazing review! Way better than other reviewers. I would say I prefer this over Josh Cahill!
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked it!😄
Come on Icelandair.. people want proper Business class.
That would be nice! 😅
2:51 Love your videos. This one is really great too. I have been flying to Iceland from the USA since I was a little kid. My father is an Icelandic immigrant and we have a ton of family there. While I don’t speak fluent Icelandic, I can tell you that the brand you tried to pronounce is something like this “ha-ness doe-tidd” it actually is a woman’s last name. I know this because in Iceland, your last name is not a family name, but an indication of who your father is. So this woman is the daughter of Hannes. So her last name is “Hannesdottir”
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! And thanks so much for the information on that name. That’s really interesting! Iceland is so beautiful - you’re so lucky to have family there and be able to visit so often. You’ll have to watch that strange movie next time you go. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
@@MelsMilesandPoints no problem. I miss Iceland so much, I’ve been dying to go live there for a year or something. It’s almost that time. I have dual citizenship which is something I was born with, but had no idea until I was in my late thirties, so I had to reclaim it which was a process, but now I have two passports which is cool. And arriving in Iceland is nice bc even though I travel out of the USA on my American passport, I can use a separate line by scanning my Icelandic passport and walking right in. It’s nice. That passport has some European perks If I ever want to stay for extended periods in the EU.
I love watching Icelandic movies and shows. It actually always helps me learn more of the language with the English subtitles, I just wish there was a way to see more of them here in the US. There are minimal options on Netflix, even with a VPN.
Wow!! That’s very cool! I would love a second passport, especially Iceland! Next time you fly there, you’ll have to let me know if you watch the movie! 😅
@@MelsMilesandPoints will do!
Eeek! that pitched looks tiny for business. I want to go to Iceland using them but it looks to tight.
Yes it's definitely not lie flat seating 😂but honestly, I thought it was fine for a day flight from Iceland to the U.S. I don't think I'd love it as much if it was the other direction and I wanted a good night's sleep though 😅
Well, it’s not really Business Class, it’s more like Super Premium Coach, but the price is very reasonable.
I agree with you, but it definitely felt worth the added cost for me 😁
@@MelsMilesandPoints Totally agree 👍
No port selection on Icelandair tho :(
True! Definitely a disappointment 😭
this vid is not really of any use unless you tel us how man extra $$
I didn’t put the upgrade amount because it varies for each flight so I wasn’t sure that the information would be helpful. Since you’re interested, though, I’m happy to tell you. For my upgrade, I paid $291. Icelandair gives you a range, and I bid just a few dollars over the starting bid. Hope this helps!
@@MelsMilesandPoints Thank you for this detail and the reviews. My flight is longer and their minimum bid started at $360 for one leg from the US to Keflavik. So it seems very different depending on the destination/arrival locations. And for comparison a one-way ticket for the Saga class was more than $2000 for my same flight of buying economy at $750.
@@TMSpring if you plan to bid, I would suggest that you bid at least a few dollars over the minimum to increase your chances, like $363 or $364. Let me know how it goes! :)
