Best-seats guide · Boeing 757-200
The best seats on the Icelandair Boeing 757-200.
The Icelandair Boeing 757-200 seats 183 passengers across 2 cabins. Every row below is rated on legroom, location and distance from galleys and lavatories.
The 757-200 is the aircraft that built Icelandair's transatlantic reputation, and it remains a distinctive flying experience on the routes it still serves. Saga Premium sits at the front in a two-two recliner layout — a personal pair of seats with dedicated service and more pitch than Economy, not a flat bed, but well-suited to a crossing of five to seven hours. Economy runs three-three for the rest of the cabin.
A useful number of extra-legroom seats and exit rows are available in Economy — worth checking before you book, particularly on a longer leg. Forward Economy rows are the practical baseline choice: quieter, away from the rear galley, and faster off the aircraft. The 757 is a notably long, narrow cabin, and a window seat reduces the sense of confinement on an overnight flight across the North Atlantic.

Frequently asked
No — Saga Premium on Icelandair narrowbodies is a recliner seat, not a lie-flat product. The two-two layout gives you a personal pair with extra pitch and dedicated service. For a five- or six-hour crossing it is a comfortable and practical upgrade.
Yes — the exit rows and designated extra-legroom positions are marked on the cabin map. The 757-200 configuration carries a meaningful number of these seats, so selecting early gives a real choice.
The 757 is a narrow single-aisle aircraft with a long Economy run, so position in the cabin matters more than on a wide-body. Forward seats are away from the rear galley and exit faster. On a transatlantic overnight, a window seat in a forward extra-legroom row is the practical best pick in Economy.
