Best-seats guide · Airbus A321neo LR
The best seats on the Icelandair Airbus A321neo LR.
The Icelandair Airbus A321neo LR seats 187 passengers across 2 cabins. Every row below is rated on legroom, location and distance from galleys and lavatories.
The A321neo LR is Icelandair's newest transatlantic narrowbody, replacing older 757s on longer crossings. Saga Premium at the front runs two-two — a recliner layout with extra pitch and service, the same product character as on other Icelandair narrowbodies. Economy runs three-three for the larger section behind it, making the most of the LR variant's extended range on routes to and from Iceland.
This configuration carries a good number of extra-legroom Economy positions and exit rows, which are the practical picks in Economy on a longer sector. The cabin benefits from the A321neo's quieter engines and improved cabin environment compared to the 757 or older A320-family aircraft. Forward Economy rows are the straightforward choice for travellers not selecting an extra-legroom seat — closer to Saga Premium and further from the rear galley on a crossing that can run six or more hours.

Frequently asked
The A321LR is a newer aircraft with a quieter, better-pressurised cabin than the older 757. The seat products are similar — Saga Premium recliner at the front, Economy behind. The LR carries a longer Economy section with more extra-legroom options than the 757 configuration.
The exit rows and designated extra-legroom positions are flagged on the cabin map. There is a useful number of these seats spread through the Economy cabin, and selecting one is the most effective upgrade available within Economy on a six-hour-plus crossing.
For a transatlantic sector the two-two recliner layout gives a personal pair with extra pitch and service — a genuine step up from three-three Economy for a five- to seven-hour flight. It is not a flat-bed product, but the personal space and forward cabin position make it the comfortable choice on an overnight crossing.
