I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😁

Awesome, thank you!☺️

That would be nice! 😅

I don't have the exact numbers unfortunately (I didn't record what the original Saga Class price would have been - wish I had), but I remember it was much cheaper to do the bid. The only risk is that it's not guaranteed😅

I generally prefer the international airlines for that very reason. Honestly, Icelandair was a nice surprise! 😄

Thanks!! I appreciate it!

That's great to hear! I slept surprisingly well too!

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked it!😄

I'm so glad!

I’m so glad you found it helpful! Also happy to have you here! 😊

@@MelsMilesandPoints super helpful! Looks almost like something between business and premium economy which is perfect 👍🏼 excited to see more!

My pleasure! 😁

@@MelsMilesandPoints I am looking at booking a business class flight from Europe to Portland OR - icelandair is showing as the cheapest by a few hundred pounds. Its an 18 hour flight though (via Seattle) and even though there is a stopover in Reykjavik; I think for me, on a long flight, given the fact it is a few hundred £’s different - having seen the difference between what I saw in your video and the lie flat options available with other airlines, your review has made me rule out flying with them this time. I would have regretted my choice if I had booked with them; it looks like premium economy with a business lounge added to me! You did well to get your flight via the auction process - but as you say, that is NOT guaranteed! Thank you, I am now subscribed❤️

Yes, for an 18-hour flight, I would want a lie-flat seat too. My flight was from Reykjavik to Chicago, and I don't sleep as much going that direction, so it was the perfect fit for me in that situation. But for a longer, overnight flight, a lie-flat seat is the way to go. Thanks for subscribing! ❤

I’m so glad it was helpful! 😊😊

Thank you! I'll definitely be posting more reviews, so stay tuned! :)

Strangest movie ever!! 😂

Yes it's definitely not lie flat seating 😂but honestly, I thought it was fine for a day flight from Iceland to the U.S. I don't think I'd love it as much if it was the other direction and I wanted a good night's sleep though 😅

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! And thanks so much for the information on that name. That’s really interesting! Iceland is so beautiful - you’re so lucky to have family there and be able to visit so often. You’ll have to watch that strange movie next time you go. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!

@@MelsMilesandPoints no problem. I miss Iceland so much, I’ve been dying to go live there for a year or something. It’s almost that time. I have dual citizenship which is something I was born with, but had no idea until I was in my late thirties, so I had to reclaim it which was a process, but now I have two passports which is cool. And arriving in Iceland is nice bc even though I travel out of the USA on my American passport, I can use a separate line by scanning my Icelandic passport and walking right in. It’s nice. That passport has some European perks If I ever want to stay for extended periods in the EU. I love watching Icelandic movies and shows. It actually always helps me learn more of the language with the English subtitles, I just wish there was a way to see more of them here in the US. There are minimal options on Netflix, even with a VPN.

Wow!! That’s very cool! I would love a second passport, especially Iceland! Next time you fly there, you’ll have to let me know if you watch the movie! 😅

@@MelsMilesandPoints will do!

I agree with you, but it definitely felt worth the added cost for me 😁

@@MelsMilesandPoints Totally agree 👍

I unfortunately don't remember exactly how much, but from what I can recall, I think I just picked a number that was about $3 over the minimum. Hope this helps!

True! Definitely a disappointment 😭

I didn’t put the upgrade amount because it varies for each flight so I wasn’t sure that the information would be helpful. Since you’re interested, though, I’m happy to tell you. For my upgrade, I paid $291. Icelandair gives you a range, and I bid just a few dollars over the starting bid. Hope this helps!

@@MelsMilesandPoints Thank you for this detail and the reviews. My flight is longer and their minimum bid started at $360 for one leg from the US to Keflavik. So it seems very different depending on the destination/arrival locations. And for comparison a one-way ticket for the Saga class was more than $2000 for my same flight of buying economy at $750.

@@TMSpring if you plan to bid, I would suggest that you bid at least a few dollars over the minimum to increase your chances, like $363 or $364. Let me know how it goes! :)

@@MelsMilesandPoints It is helpful to know. I have a chance to upgrade on my upcoming flight from Vancouver BC, but at a minimum bid of almost $600 USD. I don't think the added comfort shown in your video is worth that much.
