There is a bar attached to the seat in front of you to elevate your feet. Warning if you are in the bulkhead rows this bar does not exists and you have no feet elevation. Seat recline is minimal. the level of comfort and service is comparible to premium econy on most US carriers. Entertainment module is touch screen. Several current films but most ly very old movies. Headset is nice in Saga Class. there is no access to the SAGA Lounge while in transit either coming or going from Denver. You actually have to clear customs and immigration to get to the Saga Lounge. Staff was very task oriented.
I guess I was a bit disappointed but you get what you pay for. R/T from Denver to the UK was US 2000.
I think it's been well reported here that Saga Class is akin to domestic US First Class.
Agree their IFE has room for improvement.
Don't understand your comment about no access to the Saga Lounge. It's certainly been there for me - most recently last week. I actually think clearing into Europe (Schengen) at Keflavik is one of the best things about flying Icelandair...
