Iceland flights
 
I am joining a small group to Iceland in April and am doing my own booking of flights. I am opting for Icelandair as they have non-stop flights from nearby airports, Newark, NJ, and JFK in NY.

Icelandair has their Saga Business Class, the description of those seats sounds very much like Economy seats on other airlines. As I have reached an age when I must fly and able to lie down and sleep, that is what I am looking for. Does anyone have information on Saga Business Class on Icelandair? Food and alcohol are not important.

Thank you.

We flew Saga Class from JFK to Keflavik and return to DEN, and I was very pleased with the service and comfort. The seats are not flatbed but do recline nicely and are very comfy. They provide duvets which I loved and the food was pretty good too. I usually fly First or Business Class on BA and while First Class is still a better option, I found Saga Class every bit as comfortable as Club World.

Saga class is, to me, are in the middle between Economy class and a superior one but not business. The service is indeed nice but the seats are not flatbed but they do recline about 30º maybe? also bear in mind that they are not isolated. You seat right by another passenger. If coming along this cam be a bit ermm.

While a much more comfortable seat than regular economy, Saga Class seats will not please you if you need a lie-flat arrangement. Here are two trips reports that discuss what it's like. There are lots of photos of the seats:
