I don't need great service, I just want to be comfortable on the long flight - obviously I could book business class if I need more room, but just seeing if there really is a difference between riding their 737 vs a widebody in turn of actual "in seat" comfort. I know a widebody will have more room to stand up and walk around. I am guessing a 737 with iceland air is like a typical domestic US flight?

thanks
I am usually a Delta flyer, and also think United Polaris is delightful. However, as I fly a lot to Europe from U.S. and I prefer Business class, I am flying IcelandAir more and more. I don 't need lie flat seats. other than that, I find the IcelandAir experience, especially in Saga, to be excellent--especially since it is usually half the price of U.S. carriers. Look at icelandAir Business class--it may be similar to what you would pay in main cabin on US carriers. LOL--and you get a lovely gin menu
