Icelandair - 767 300ER - Business Class - Reykjavík (KEF) to Boston (BOS) | TRIP REPORT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 апр 2024
- Saga Class on Icelandair is a great low-cost alternative to transatlantic business class; granted a quick stopover at the small island nation.
Last year I flew back home from Greenland via Copenhagen and Reykjavik on Air Greenland and Icelandair. I had previously flown in Icelandair's Saga Business Class in 2020 and had a great experience, so I expected the same quality of service and comfort as last time. The product is consistently great with amazing food, exceptional space, and an enthusiastic crew: the 3 most important traits in my eyes.

Iceland is just as cool as the great music you use. Another well produced gem. Thank you for posting this highly enjoyable travelogue
Iceland is a beautiful place! Thank you so much!
The flight was empty with passengers but the cargo hold could be sold out. Iceland is famous for its salmon and also has to import most of the goods they need…
Another trip report,personally it's the first one I've seen involving 767. Great video as always.
Hey I'm glad you liked it!
The food looks excellent 👍❤
Its Many Years Since I Flown Icelandair And B767.Great Work
I really enjoyed watching this review. I've never been to Iceland or flown Icelandair but it's on my list now. I'm in Chicago and Icelandair fly's nonstop from here so all the more incentive to try it out. Nice choice of music for this video!
Beautiful sights before landing.
Εxcellent flight review.767 is an iconic classic plane.
Incredible video mate!
Icelandair is underrated. They offer you quality in a good price, and good experience. From my humble opinion.
I agree! I’d easily take them from America to Europe if the price is right
It was great to see your vlog. I hope this means more are on the way. You have been missed.
Thanks for the ride and the the report. 🇺🇾
Very nice. To sum it all up, am definitely going to have to try Iceland Air. Never heard of berry salt? Wow. How about that and yes, the foods looked absolutely delicious. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Very nice video. Excellent. Cheers, Peter.
Great flight
WOW! Now that is classy service! I could live in that lounge HAHA, thanks for the video!
Aren't they great! And that lounge was fantastic! Thanks Laurie :)
I definitely would have chosen Saga Class. I'm 6ft2in tall and weigh 225pounds. Nice flight. Nice meal.
Thanks Quintin 😀💚
Thank you. Enjoy every second of this trip. The airport looked spotlessly clean and organized for mid-sized airport. Lounge food looked amazing and your meal was probably a top ten for business class product. Even the F.A. seemed sincerely interested in serving passengers. For a 24 y/o plane the IFE moved with ease. (Probably a recent upgrade?) Appreciate the tour of Iceland. It reminded me a bit of driving on the New Brunswick northern coast. It looked to me like a 5/5 trip.
Thanks for the full tour and close ups of the food. I was wondering if you would be in Nome, Al this week with the races so this was an unexpected pleasure. Stay safe and thanks for all the time you put into creating this for us.
I appreciate it Greg! Yeah the experience was really nice from start to finish. You’d really enjoy a trip to Iceland it’s a beautiful country with some of the most friendly people I’ve ever met. Ah man I was hoping to make it out to Nome this year to catch the race but I couldn’t get time off. Enjoy the dogs man!
Looking forward to my trip in September Dublin - Seattle via Reykjavik 🇦🇺👍
2-1-2 configuration?
This gotta be the craziest shit I´ve ever seen!!
Thanks QFS!
Как всегда, отличный обзор!
Спасибо, приятель!
I love your vlogs. Icelandair seems to have nice service into Boston. It looked like that you landed on 22L. Thanks for sharing your experience. God bless
awesome trip report 😮
beautiful views 🙂
Hello QFS. Another very interesting trip report. The braised beef ribs look exceptionally scrumptious. Watching you eat them made me hungry. Surprised that with the extra meal you had that you were able to walk off the aircraft without discomfort. Almost flew Icelandair last year from Toronto to Scotland but the reviews I read (do not know if they were Economy or Saga Class reviews) were not very complementary so my spouse and I went with Air Transat direct to Glasgow instead. If I ever have to make another flight to that area, I will definitely consider Saga Class with Icelandair. Keep up the good work!
I like all those model planes there very nice collectibles
I agree with you, their classic livery is much better than the new one.
amazing video, good too see you're back to icelandair! hope to record from JFK to KEF soon!
Thank you so much! You gotta try them sometime man!
@@QFSAviation They look amazing, yeah!
Iceland air service is excellent, love to see the 67 in service
Congratulations on 66.3K subscribers!
Thanks!
Belo Vídeo 😊
Love it ❤ from California USA 🎉🎉😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 thanks Fir sharing
Mr. Soloviev. It is noticeable that your vlogs have matured. The longer intros are welcome and could still be further enhanced. I also notice that you more readily respond to comments whereas previously we hardly ever got a peep out of you ! Travelling vicariously with you ( and at your expense ) is ever more pleasurable. Thank you.
Hey Tony I do appreciate the compliments! Thank you 🙏 I try to film these videos as transparently as possible so it feels like the viewer is in my shoes experiencing the flight how I do. Always room to improve but the compliments mean a lot to me 😁
His passport in the seat back pocket makes my stomach turn 😅 I would forget that in a heartbeat!
Super Video 👍😀gerne mehr solcher flugvideos. Gerne länger den Start zeigen 😊
Danke! Ich lade diesen Frühling viele weitere Flugvideos hoch!
Love the drums at the end. If you haven't already, check out Zildjian in Norwood, MA next time you are in Boston.
A great video and a great airline that l didnt know nothing about the food was great cheers from jerry
The 767 is nice.
Wait wait wait...single prong headphones?! Also nice sized amenity kit, I can see myself using that on future trips; the one I got at EVA Air was too small.

Is the only airline at the airport is Icelandair? Do they have a domestic terminal or it is all together with the international flights which are mainly from the US, Canada and some European countries? It is a beautiful place from what I hear and friendly people not just the airline and its flight crew. Great food, great friendly cabin crew and the Saga Lounge at Reykjavik. Superb. Thanks again.
Hopefully Icelandair flies to Kansas City again with the new terminal just opened
Very nice! Even though it gave me the feeling that food is scarce in Iceland.
Epik
Hi, you should try Aeromexico Premier Class
A great video...thanks! It is too bad that all your food is served on a single tray in Saga Class rather than separately like on other Business Class flights! Take care.
Thanks a lot! You raise a fair point, but that’s kinda a personal preference because I personally don’t mind getting it all at once and eating the meal together. You’re right though it feels like a more professional service when carriers space out the appetizers, entrees, and dessert
More like Premium Economy seat wise but I suppose given Iceland's mid Atlantic location there wouldn't be that much time to sleep in a full business international style seat.Keflavik is called Reykjavik Airport but it's miles away and confusingly there is actually a Reykjavik Airport in south Reykjavik and we actually walked there from the city centre, about 50 minutes,although it is mainly internal although it does have some international flights to Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Fly to Kansas City sometime please to check out the new airport terminal!!!
Why do you leave so many unnecessary and unrelated comments on this guy's videos?
hey michael it's me ian how are you
Great video, but just not sure that 'small island nation' is the right description for Iceland. Speaks heaps about the bias over other countries' size, and the lack of geographical knowledge of a lot of people.. I'm sure you would not define Ireland a 'small island nation', would you? (Yet, Ireland is less than a third of Iceland's size, and most certainly an island too )
Thank you! But yes it is a small island “nation”. The population is 375,000. Wichita, Kansas has a greater population than the entire country. The nation is small, the island is large and beautiful. But then again that’s subjective
Fly to Kansas City sometime please to check out the new airport terminal!!!
Was your recline in the last row the same as the other business class seats or were you restricted by the wall behind you?
cabin similar to Martinair Star Class at the time on long haul, angled seats. little privacy as well. No champagne as a pre-flight drink? and how do you get on board if you have a disability to climb stairs?
I can’t believe the load factor was so small. How do they stay in business?
Even though their seats and cabin isn't much to brag about. The service is top notch
3:25 song is my favorite, Með þér by Jón Jónsson
They need a new airport terminal at Rekjavik airport
3 Daily flights during the peak season, most out of USA destinations.
I tracked that plane, apparently you were on it🤷♂️
qfs have you been to china before
This looks more premium economy than it does business class.
The portion size would make Thor happy
"Saga" is also a Canadian classic rock band. Coincidence? 🤔
Yes Icelandair has got this name borrowed from the famous musical group or the Icelandic Saga which is about the most famous littérature in the world not sure
@@doddsalfa let's go with the latter! And thanks, I was able to read up about something I had never heard of before. Very interesting and educational.
First!
and you ate that other meal as well ?
Unfortunately no I was full. Felt kinda bad wasting it all 🙁
Quentin, can I translate the text from English to Russian?
I think you can’t really compare it to other European Business class since the seat is more like a premium economy seat without lie flat
Have you been on Iceland Air 737 MAX yet???
WHO LET BRO COOK WHERES MY LIGHTER 🪵🪵🪵🪵
Don’t worry I saw your face and easy to recognize you
I put my face in every video
Great video! You hit the nail on the head about their livery being “cheesed up”. I don’t know what it is with airline liveries these days but they’re just awful. Stop fixing what isn’t broken! *cough* Lufthansa *cough*
Thank you! Yeah it’s so disappointing that all the progress the industry made with beautiful liveries is being erased. Lufthansa, Aer Lingus, Iberia, American Airlines, 1990’s United, they all had incredible liveries that got replaced by bland white paint with colored tails
They have the worse livery also Japan too is bland boring no life
Japan airlines has enter the chat to me they have top 5 worse bland liveries not just this one the older ones too
Это очень красивое видео, спасибо за ваш труд, поздравления, поздравления, я желаю вам всего наилучшего, удачи.Это очень красивое видео, спасибо за ваш труд, поздравления, поздравления, я желаю вам всего наилучшего, удачи.✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈📹📹📹📹📹📹📹👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍Iceland 👏👏👏👏👏
A meal in the lounge at the airport, followed by 2 full meals onboard the aircraft during a 5 hour flight? A spectacular level of food consumption in a world much too full of starvation and malnutrition. American by any chance ?
14:52 tea with...milk? o_O
Black tea with milk and a tiny bit of sugar is incredible
@@QFSAviation Oh, ok. i'll try. Thanks bro :D
Yep, English Breakfast tea, not herbata. In England we almost always drink tea with milk.
The Icelandic people in general have the warmth of a Siberian Winter!!
You said that you're surprised how empty your flight was...well that's simple. Nobody wanted to leave Iceland....lol
Imagine being disabled and having to board the plane via stairs, this is why I prefer ramp boarding
Another great trip report. Filming and editing are top notch. Beautiful scenery. May I suggest anyone watching this video hit the like button and subscribe to this channel. Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!!
Hey thanks a lot! I always appreciate your support man
@@QFSAviation 👍
Fly AeroMexico
Maybe not many Icelanders want to go to Boston
Excellent recline? Seriously?
That looks like a Premium Eco level product to me.
Saga class is more like a overpriced premium economy across the atlantic. Usually not competitive when starting from Oslo. You can get lie-flat seats for the same price on other carriers.
Great video, but just not sure that 'small island nation' is the right description for Iceland. Speaks heaps about the bias over other countries' size, and the lack of geographical knowledge of a lot of people.. I'm sure you would not define Ireland a 'small island nation', would you?

If I ever fly Internationally to Iceland fly Icelandair not PLAY Air
Why do you leave so many unnecessary and unrelated comments on this guy's videos?
The hot stewardesses in an episode of The Sopranos worked for IcelandAir.🎉

In May people are still in school on the east coast while the midwest people are getting ready to go out of school
Why do you leave so many unnecessary and unrelated comments on this guy's videos?
Thier Boeing fleet were awful including 757 thar too narrow seat..
You need to wash your sneakers
Sneakers are meant to get dirty!
First. thnx for the video. The meal looks so primitive and its a disgrace.A coice of only 2 mains? No champagne? No wine?
All presented on one tray? Not a choice for me. Plus Icelandair is very expensive purchasing their so called bizclass.
But again thnx
❤😊🇮🇸🇺🇸💺🧳🌐🗺️🌍🌎🌏🧑✈️🛫🛬✈️✈️🇺🇲
1:15 -Your face in mirror! 🙂
All the product are imported to Iceland as nothing grow in the country ! I find Iceland service very average and food to ! Iceland don’t have food culture as Europe have 😮 Iceland is beautiful but same time boring ! Boston is my favourite city in America ❤
