Were you flying on the 757-200 series version 1 or 2 layout? I am flying from PDX to KEF in August and want to pick a good seat in economy, so knowing which version flies between these two cities would be very helpful. It looks like layout 1 from your apparent seat just behind the wing based on your window seat view.
I have flown Icelandic numerous times and love the 757. Boeing is stupid for not continuing production of them. One thing that I miss about Icelandic was their meal services on all Economy flights. Flew to Stockholm in 2001 from Minneapolis and had wonderful meal service. That is gone on the base Econ tickets. I have also flown on numerous other airlines and Icelandair's stewardesses are gorgeous
That’s interesting to hear about the service. Definitely a bummer that they stopped but I do still like the airline nonetheless. I also totally agree about the 757. Such an amazing aircraft!!
@@theplanefacts Honestly, the 737 Max 10 is around the same size as the 757, except 1.5 times weaker, but has the same if not more seating. I heard Iceland Air is replacing the 757s with A321 NEO LR and XLRs, I'm flying with them in a few months, excited but not excited for the older 757s.
looks like the girl in front of him when getting off the plane was able to bring on an away luggage....which is thicker than what icelandair says you can bring...
I do agree with the seats feeling a little tight but didn´t bother me too much. The FA issue I feel like its not common as I've flown them many times and its never been an issue. As for the food you shouldn't expect to get free food in a flight and it´s not like they hide the fact that food needs to be purchased.
That’s good to hear that Icelandair doesn’t have a habit of over working their crew because seeing that on my flight was not pleasant. However, I will have to disagree with you on the inflight meal. Icelandair is a full service airlines that operates international flights over the Atlantic, and the fact that they couldn’t even provide a complimentary snack of a flight that is 8 hours is completely unacceptable.
I will say that the service is disappointing but I do hold out hope because Iceland is truly a beautiful country and they deserve a national airline to be proud of.
It's a bit primitive, but the price for a round trip from Seattle to Frankfurt is hard to beat. 1 carry on and 1 checked bag, plus they offer a 3 day stop over in Iceland at no extra charge ($920). I visited family in Germany but the stopover was nice because Iceland is a gorgeous place, almost like another planet
