Icelandair Boeing 757-200 Economy Review | Reykjavik to London Heathrow | Trip Report

Today I'm reviewing Icelandair's Boeing 757 Economy Class. They have a fantastic plane and a fantastic seat, but does that justify the massive cost compared to budget competitors?

RARE A Boeing 757-200 fitted with the 737NG style cabin!

Nice takeoff!

[@AnNguyen-tp2vi]

Quite decent for economy, a lot better than BA

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Amen

[@ginabyrd503]

was there an option to use your own headphones with bluetooth?

[@freddiesflightreviews]

It is possible, but you need to buy a Bluetooth adaptor which they sell on board for €20

[@armychap007]

Looks like a really comfortable flight in economy class, with IFE and a complimentary drink as a welcome bonus. Based on your recent positive experiences with Icelandair would you consider them to fly from London to North America?

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Thanks for watching! And no, probably wouldn't consider Icelandair unless I was spending a few days there. I'd rather go Virgin or Delta.
