Really nice video once again! :) But I just wanted to comment on the 3$ charge for the economy earphones - I think it makes people more responsible and prevent unnecessary waste. Like you said, not all passengers require them so it is best to not have them handed out to everyone by default, like most airlines do.
Air Europa charges €3 for headphones on a 12h flight. Tickets for those flights are over $800 usd so they should be giving those crappy headphones for free
Sure for free but not by default
That's why I really like what Singapore Airlines does, have them out the front for you to grab if you want them!
I always feel sorry if Liam is in economy ☹️
I've missed you lads, and your reviews; I get giddy and live vicariously through your experiences, each and all. I do hope to see more of your adventures in the near future.
Living vicariously isn’t living. I don’t mean that in a negative sense. Get out there and have your best life 🙂
I get so excited when I see a new video! I love living vicariously through you guys and the videos are always fun. Keep up the amazing work!
I flew with Icelandair last month and I've got to say that even on the 757 and 767 they're a great airline that I will most definitely be flying with again
Love your content! Feels like I'm flying with you guys! cheers from Poland!
Icelandair is exceptional for travel in Europe to Iceland. I wish the other airlines could offer business class like Icelandair do for travel around Europe.
The problem is that for the trans-atlantic segment this is more like a premium economy. Premium for the fare of business class.

@@B737900ER I mean they really can’t do much with a narrow body aircraft.
I’ve only flown them to and from Seattle to Reykjavik. I upgraded to Saga on my way. The food I had was fine. I think I had salmon. My problem with them, the rtn to the US. There was a storm we weren’t aware of. They didn’t notify us that all flights to N America were cancelled. We found out from the few who were on the bus to the airport, who were not going our way, but still they got an alert. That bus ride was $50-$60 by the way. If we knew, we could have stayed at our hotel in Reykjavik. Once we got to the airport, we were only told the flights were cancelled, and we should come back the next day and maybe there would be flights. I watched other airlines, like WOW give out hotel and food vouchers. They arranged transportation for their passengers. We had to figure it our ourselves in the middle of a horrible storm. So, unless they’ve improved their process, I’ll pass on Icelandair.
I would love to see an Aer Lingus flight review DUB-JFK!!☘
enjoying the vid so far love the work
I was curious about Saga Class on Icelandair, and this video was excellent. This is my first time watching one of your videos, and guys, the content and delivery are outstanding. Kudos to both of you and your production team! 🙂
The audio transition at 3:21 deserves a chef's kiss.
This is a valid comparison between Business and Economy on the same plane. Unlike some US domestic flights, there's a clear difference between the two classes on IcelandAir. Good video!
you mean unless on european airlines? There is alway a big differennce between business and economy in the us.
Super fun video! And the cabin and seats looks gorgeous! 👌🏼✈️
Thanks so much!
I was waiting for the Nicky and Liam video and I’m not disappointed. Such fun 👏🏽
Good to see you guys back. Liked your video very insightful. Thank you.
the airport looks so beautiful
Where is jean
Love your videos so much keep it up
Nice to have you back and another great video. You should never have to pay for food, headphones etc on a national carrier! Low cost carries you expect too but not these!
every national carrier does this unless its an international flight (10hours +)then food is included...budget cuts
Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much
I really like your content these videos are so nice and you guys give me such a nice vibe i enjoy it every time to watch it. I am glad that you guys are back. Keep going :))
Wow, what a great video showing the terminal at Heathrow International airport and then on to the plane. Two different perspectives one from business class and the other from economy. Overall the feeling from both of you guys is that the airline and it's staff were friendly and on point. Hey, you guys are lucky it seems that the flight is shorter then from my country de USA which is 4 hours and 45 minutes from Newark/New York to Reykjavik. You guys did not show the bathrooms on board the plane. The gent that was flying business class did not show the amenities kit if there was one given also the welcoming by the pilo and purser to all during the flight. Thanks again for the video showing both sides of the coin.
I've flown Icelandair a few times now. Really liked it (my daughter really liked it, too).
Maybe you can try AC's 737 max service between lhr- st John or Halifax 🤞🤔
Hey guys, nice to see you back, love your videos
Love all you guys but where’s Jean?!
'and at least it came this time' 😂
Good to see you guys! Iceland Air is not my favorite either.
big fan. PLZ make more videos often. They are really good.
Why is Liam always flying economy and nicky always flying in style. Makes no sense
His channel main reason
Nicky has done some economy flights as well like the Lufthansa 4 cabin review
That doesn’t matter
Nah it’s their decision but I agree they should chang it sometimes
But isn't Liam the owner of this channel? Why wouldn't he be in first ?
Hello. What type of camera do you use to record? Not the go pro, the dslr looking one? Thanks.
Great Video as always
Yesss love these
Love you Liam!!!
Another review, another economy for Liam 😪😪
I can tell I fly on budget airlines when you’re disappointed that you don’t have free headphones and I’m just happy to have a seat 😂
On long haul flights it’s very normal. On short domestic flights, especially in Europe, I’m not surprised when there are no headphones or TVs. I don’t necessarily think it’s about travelling on a budget as many airlines provide much more than iceland air even at close/not too far off price points. Iceland air in my opinion are below standard for long haul flights. I think they’re more appropriate for domestic flights.
0:42 that was so cool seeing the Thai airways crew heading for flight TGPorsche (TG911) because I haven’t seen TG crew walking around for quite a while now… covid hasn’t opened up international travel…
Qantas Business Class Sydney to Delhi now available on my channel!
Cool vibe in the vid. All the Icelandair lovers are going to hunt you down lol.
Icelandair has become a longhaul low-cost style airline (i.e. premium economy; plus buy-on-board economy) reflecting KEF as a hub. As a Premium Economy Saga Class is competitive. In economy, unfortunately the bad buy-on-board offer and general service lags Scoot or Jetstar longhaul, and even Ryanair or Wizz. My main issue is that Icelandair's prices are actually quite expensive, for what is essentially low-co with a PTV.
Yay - another video! 😝. The food and alcohol are my favorite parts!
The Call Bell Challenge always cracks me up 😂
When eating cake, always “just shovel it in” 😂🙌🏻
You are traveling to so many interesting places I really hope that you get time to sightsee and enjoy your destinations🥰❤️
Excellent footage 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
Nice one, you genuinely are trying to show how dire things of the countries and it's citizens. Economically and other aspects. At this time the future doesn't look good. First thing. About solving a problem is to acknowledge it. It's doesn't look like the media wants to do , I hope your channel expand and bring awareness and opportunity to people. ❤️
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
I'm so happy ☺️ my life is totally changed. I've been earning $10,250 returns from my $4,000 Investment every 13 days
I heard a lot of investing with Mr Frank donald and how good he is, please how safe are the profit?.
After watching so many RUclips tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses untill Mr Frank donald started managing my investment now, I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Mr Frank donald . His been a blessing to my family.
I've seen a lot of recommendation about Mr Frank donald , Please can I have his info? I want to invest 2,000usd with him.
you should try aer lingus new routes from manchester to the USA? business and economy
Have a great time in Iceland - we loved it there
I lived in Keflavik for three years from 1968 - 1970. I was age 7 - 9. My father was in the US military there. Enjoy.
I'm visiting Reykjavik in October & I can't wait
Great video - the lamb "stew" did look pretty awful. Wonder if the old 757s that they still operate as as comfortable...?
Great vlog guys. Good to have you guys back. Btw Liam, never ever put your passport in the seat pocket.
Any particular reason?
@@arunsreenivasan2074 the amount of passports I’ve found in seat pockets over the last 20 years, if I could have sold them I’d be very wealthy. Always put it back into your bag.
@@francismcdonnell753 got it 👌. Thanks will make sure to do that from now on!
@@arunsreenivasan2074 I lost something I put in my first overseas flight in the pocket when I was in a rush, it wasn’t my passport, but something almost as important
I never made that mistake again!
i flew boston to Reykjavik in 2000 (im getting old), we were given... in economy free alcohol and a free hot (basic) meal. same for Reykjavik to amsterdam.
You didn't mention the price difference between them both
On this route a one way ticket on Economy is 86 pounds and Business 173 pounds
That was disappointing, that Liam didn't get a Bloody Mary. A G&T, as good as it was, is no substitute.
And I really enjoyed Nicky's tip on eating cake, just shovel it in. Surprised he didn't do that with his dessert on the flight.
Now I must go and find some cake to shovel.
😂
I have flown Saga class twice, and neither time have I been able to fault it.
Do westjet 787 economy, business or premium economy
if this airline doesnt have Eurovision contest: Fire saga movie, I am avoiding them for life
I went over there to Iceland when I went to Paris it was last year 2022 and I came back well it was going to great over there
I want a lot of great creators on RUclips. But, I'm just saying, not everyone gets a happy shoulder shake and audible yes when I see their channel's posted.
Thanks so much!
I love the flight cups water and orange juice nice
first! And a fantastic video, so glad you're back!
The business meal looked really nice. I don't like airlines which don't even offer a sandwich and a coke for free in economy. That's not a nice touch. The rest seems to be nice on board.
Going to fly RTW need recommendations for Avois collecting. ..Route BHX. NYC. SIN OVERLAND KUL BKK USA BHX
So they finally remembered there RUclips password
Iceland is actually quite underrated and cool.
Airport lounges always seem a bit hit and miss , some have a decent buffet, others are a very stingy bar with a few peanuts. Does icelandair still do the mini burgers? Last took a flight in 2018 and they had a 3 mini hamburger selection which was yummy. Who wants a full meal on a 3 hour flight anyway - lots of restaurants at the destination, with full size burgers
The video has a nice concept
A mention on Daily Mail site you must be honoured lol.
what? you have to pay for the meal on icelandic air?
Future videos should on bottom of screen have the flight details plus what plane your on
You should try another brand of lamb stew while you're in Iceland! I love making and eating lamb stew and it's sad that was your first experience with it
I had my 1st 737 Max flight last week Calgary to Cancun.
Oh Lord! This December will be my first time taking Icelandair from New York City to Paris France, and of course, I was stupid enough to book the cheapest flight in economy.
What sucks is my flight is non-refundable and cannot be upgraded .
I would love to sell this ticket and purchase first class instead
Please review the premium economy class in emirates.
Love Liam 🤩 but I’m convinced that horrid blue face mask is an upcycled underpants!
I can promise you it's not 😂
The funniest part is always the attendant call
What is your longest fly experience ?
Challenge, fly from LHR to Perth Western Australia non direct, all on different airlines, and meet at Forrest Place Perth CBD
Icelandic food doesn’t get much better. Luckily the country’s gorgeous views make up for it.
The food is exceptional in Iceland! I have no idea where you ate, but I go there to eat.
I flew this airline in BUSINESS CLASS out of Denver to Iceland and it was AWFUL!!! Food was awful, the service was awful, reminded me of a old Soviat era airline, would never fly them again!! I did enjoy your vedio great job!!
Can u please do one for air Astana?
Fly with klm royal dutch airlines on a long holl flight
LIam's meal looked like a pot noodle! That's so disappointing for 7 euros.
wait a second i was there at the same time you guys were there and in the same town !
i love this part 4:33 :DD
Liam does do business and others as well
flie with elal and bring jean back
Liam Has An Amazing Attitude.....
You guys have to try Biman Bangladesh Airlines 787 dreamliner
I flew Iceland Air Saga in March 2022. Onthe ground its wreck. IA has NO communication with its passengers and check in is a free for all. You have to muscle your way to the feont of the line for check in, boarding, etc. Lounges are git or miss. It depends on the airport. Ryshykagga (whatever) Airport IA lounge is about a kilometer away from the international terminal so its basically useless. In the aor is another matter. Saga is definitely worth it once your flying. Especially internationally. Good food, good headphones, lots of leg room. Worth the extra $$ or €€ or ££
that was a concise and informative review but liam is so damn handsome
😩🖐️
Liam always having problems with his coffee lmao
Why do u have to press the call bell????
That soup looked positively vile!
Finnair next!
What happened to Jean?
Do this for Air Canada
I think buying the earbuds is good because it reduces waste if people don't want them they will just get thrown away.
Try out Finnair a350
15:30 not so cheap Monday ( look at his shirt)
You should review Air Canada Rouge. Worst experience of my life.
