Thanks for this - and agree that the Saga Lounge in KEF is very good.
Also, if you're in Economy Comfort, some of the seats are really outstanding. The ones on the D-F side, directly across from the door, are outstanding - and probably have a good 3-4 feet of legroom... so if you don't move up, those are a great option.

Is it possible to book specific Economy Comfort seats at time of ticketing?

Thank you Carfield for taking the time to post this interesting and detailed FR with great pics.
I believe that this is the most comprehensive report on FI's J product out there. ^

If EC allows you to select Saga seats, I'd recommend choosing the last row, if possible, as the 'borders' between the three classes can shift, and its possible that passengers seated in EC row 4-5 could be shifted back if the cabin moves (based on sales, I understand).

Thank you SO much for sharing this! As I've posted here before, Iceland will be my final country visited later this year, and I've been trying to decide if Saga Class was worth it for the relatively short flight. Appreciate the review!

Yes, Economy Comfort allows advanced seat selection. The best seats are probably 9C/D, unless you can advance select something in Row 4/5/6. These seats are considered exit rows, however, and can't be selected until online check-in.
If EC allows you to select Saga seats, I'd recommend choosing the last row, if possible, as the 'borders' between the three classes can shift, and its possible that passengers seated in EC row 4-5 could be shifted back if the cabin moves (based on sales, I understand).

Yes, Row 9 is completely booked (for a reason).
