Icelandair - 757 300 - Business Class - London (LHR) to Reykjavík (KEF) | TRIP REPORT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 апр 2024
- Icelandair's modest "Saga Class" is a discounted business class seat catered to both Icelandic tourists and travelers flying from North America to Europe on a budget. It's similar to a domestic American carrier's First Class product but with a higher level of customer service.
Every time I fly Icelandair they deliver a consistently good service, and I have no big complaints about the airline.
Also, the aircraft in the video (TF-ISX) is painted in a special livery celebrating 100 years of Icelandic sovereignty! The 757 is painted in the colors of the Icelandic flag: Blue for the blue of the mountains, sea, and sky, red for the fire of the volcanoes, and white for the ice of the glaciers.

Damn the Aurora was cool!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Who didn't think of the old American Airlines livery when seeing this plane?
True
I did immediately I miss the AA Classic livery and their 757s! 😊
Another awesome video from QFS!! A really great trip report, and the city / countryside tour at the end was spectacular!! Thanks for sharing!! Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra!!
757 one of my all time fave planes.
Très beau voyage ! Ça nous donne le goût de prendre cette compagnie aérienne ! Je suis impressionné par le B757 !
Merci !
😊😊😊
Thank you for the Video and its really nice, that you add some extra Content of your stay on Iceland.
QFS! This notification just made my day! I’m so happy to see that you’re posting again and especially that you’re posting another ICELANDAIR review! I can’t wait for more of your content to be posted in the fall and hopefully I will be fortunate enough to meet you in real life at an airport some day! Have a good one!
I love you qfs so inspirational ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the tour. The last 4 minutes was amazing. Most people miss the natural beauty that is right before their eyes when visiting other countries. The under water capture reminded me of living in B.C. I was looking down into a crystal clear stream at Stanley Park. I thought it must 5 to 10 feet deep as I could see the bottom. It was 90 feet deep. Appreciate your time given to share this with us.
My flight with Icelandair is in 3 weeks and I had questions about the quality of the airline but this helped a lot!
My first trip to Europe back in 1972 was on Icelandic (DC-8 JFK to KEF, KEF to Luxembourg). Wonderful memories of that trip! And I have to say I enjoy your trip videos so much!
Great trip report and short travel vlog. Awesome as usual we are used to from you.👏
I like the Northern Lights livery.
Good video😊
Thanks 😁!
That salad looked nice!
Glad to see other great video!
It sure was spectacular to see the northern lights. T2 sure is modern, cause I like some of the lights. Another thing I like, is seeing the time in military hours, cause I know military hours off the top of my head. I thought the fuselage was neat with the color(s) on the 757.
We were in London last month. Took the same version plane home to USA. Great video as usual.
Fantastic video man!
And the man is back !! Yessss
My favorites BOEING 757!
Lovely plane, long may they fly.
Thanks QFS !!
I liked everytime u include aurora borealis on the flight, a complete trip report from airlines to destination. u r polite and polished when interacting with FA and ground crew, Well Done!
Amazing landscapes!! Lovely video!
Great flight, especially the aircraft using special livery.
Spectacular report. After my trip to Alaska this should be my next destination! Excellent jov, Quintin!
Great report. Thanks Quintin👌😀
Star in the sky, beautyful, fantastic video
Terrific. Classy visuals. Good Eye ...
AND .. a service review as well! 👍
Looks like a great experience, and a good video.
Спасибо за отличный контент ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
nice trip and nice plane spotting video
AmaIng video my man! 🎉🎉
Its Many Years Since Fly On The B757 That Was Whit Icelandair.KEF-JFK.Great Trip Report
Empty seat next to you...that's the best 👌
Beautiful video ❤ Night view from above 🤩
16:00😍
Nice video. Food looked yummy. 👍 on the socks😏
Great music. Post new ones good vid 757 300. 😊
Great video, thanks a lot ! Is the 757 as "high powered" as I've heard say ? 🙂
+100 nice trip thanx
Thank you for your uploadings, great quality!
As for me, I don't understand the point of business class in narrow body airplanes, ticket prices are high(even more expensive than on long haul if compare prices for one km of travelled distance), but seats are just large "granny's chair", and meal is usually poor. Only JetBlue managed to make great cabin with long haul like seats
Amazing video
What luggage brand do you use, Quintin?
The backpack is a L.L.Bean Continental Rucksack and the suitcase is called "Briggs & Riley Spinners, Black, 22-inch Baseline Essential Carry-On"
@@QFSAviationare u gonna e on United’s a331 inaugural
Hopefully Icelandair brings back Kansas City and St Louis to its destination fleet soon
Epic video now am in Denmark now
Northern Pacific is trying to be like Icelandair but via Pacific Ocean and Alaska connecting Asia and North America together
Cool socks bro 🤜🤛
QFS! Think you could swing by HNL or OGG for a trip report? Great quality flights on Hawaiian/Delta on select services.
Nice report - and great shots of the 757-300 Thingvellir livery! What camera are you using?
LHR T2 handles way more than the "occasional" long haul flight. It's home to all the Star Alliance carriers at LHR. Long haul flights from United, Air Canada, Thai, Singapore Airlines, Air India and Ethiopian, to name just a few.
Good
Great video as always Q. I don't want to intrude but I don't know what I want so, let me intrude anyway(😁). What are you doing in Iceland kiddo? I'm asking that because you've been visiting the country many times, and this is a place that I've never thought of going... Sorry for the indiscretion! 😇Thanks for sharing!
FLY TO OMAHA SOMETIME PLEASE!!!
Flying pencil ❤
😂
😀👍
Рюкзак КХЛ круто брат 👦.
19:04 - An Iceland in.....Iceland?!! (If you're British, you'd get this)
I want to suggest a correction in the title.. Icelandair doesn't have "business" or "first" class. It's simply called Saga Premium, it's not labelled as anything else. It's simply a more "Premium" class than Economy. It seems unfair that people get disappointed as they expect to be flying "First" and "Business" and compare it to other International carrier's classes.
Great video however you did not show when the pilot and/or purser explained all pertinent cautions in english and Danish; I am not sure what language they speak sorry. Although the jet plane that Icelandair is using is an old trojan horse It seemed vey comfortable and roomy and the cabin was very clean as should be. You did not showed the altitude that the plane was flying at and if they gave you dessert separate from dinner as well as any cordials and a flight kit with amenities even though it was a 2 hour and 50 minute flight. Did they offer you champagne while boarding at Heathrow? Note: iit was funny to see the sign state take a seat as opposed to hear in the US it would state now boarding. Lol,Lol,Lol. Thanks again.
May I know you came to Iceland for what?
Lasangaaa
rip the Queen
Be grateful it was only 2-2 config. Most European Business Classes have 3-3 with a blocked middle seat. There mostly no premium economy on European Flights
Icelandair est une excellente vie pour des vols transatlantiques vers les usa qd on souhaite profiter du voyage aérien. Surtout avec son animal, un chat. Faut seulement accepter de voler en dehors des périodes estivales. Service de bord impeccable, accueil des hôtesses et stewards excellent,. Personnel de bord très compréhensif avec un passager avec son animal, mon animal a eu droit à un petit repas préparé avec les ingrédients préparés par son propriétaire, nécessité d avoir de la nourriture lyophilisé,. Animal n a pas eu à se plaindre, il a sacrément ronronner sous la couverture de son propriétaire et parfois au dessus. Le passager a eu droit aussi à sa soupe à plusieurs reprises durant le vol vers les usa. Impératif pour un animal de petite taille, lui mettre un harnais ni trop gros ni trop fin. Merci à icelandair pour son vol .....😊😊
Great report, but having no meal option is weird. At least like a non-meat option? It’s business class afterall
Boeing really needs to NextGen/MAX the 757. It hurts my heart to see them dwindling
great BC cabin: much better then the normal European bc with KLM, AF, LH etc! well, the lounge is very poor, more a busstop canteen!
rip old Iceland Air logo
SHOW.
Anyone remember where they were on 9/11
Beautiful :) I was film with a Boeing 777-300ER Geneva to Zurich. World's shortest flight Boeing 777-300ER to my channel youtube
9:55
Only premium economy
meal looks primitive. where is the champagne
No LI Flyer here!!!
