The Icelandair Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 160 passengers across Business + Economy. Wi-Fi is available on this aircraft. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 1C, 2A, 2F, 3A, 3F, 4A. Another 33 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 12, 13 for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 8A, 12A, 26B, 26E, 27A, 27B. Another 10 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Saga Premium is a recliner business seat in a two-two layout at the front of the aircraft — there is no lie-flat product on narrowbody Icelandair aircraft. The seat offers more pitch and recline than Economy plus a dedicated service, which is a worthwhile upgrade on a transatlantic crossing.
This configuration does not carry dedicated extra-legroom Economy rows. Forward seats in Economy are the practical choice — away from the rear galley and quicker to clear after landing. An Economy Comfort fare on the relevant route may unlock a specific forward row.
On a transatlantic sector of five to seven hours, the two-two recliner with extra pitch is a meaningful step up from Economy. It is not a flat bed, but the personal space and forward cabin position make it comfortable for most travellers on an overnight or daytime long-haul.
