On top of that, Icelandair is the champion of excessively overbooking Saga and the airport staff is extremely unhelpful... the two most recent times I flew Icelandair, Saga was overbooked and the airport agents refused to provide any compensation in direct violation of EUR261, though eventually, Icelandair's corporate staff admitted the error and compensated me.
It's a 5 hour flight and is a good product from my experience. It's by no means terrible and certainly, under any assessment, isn't bad enough to warrant routing through LHR. Your experiences are very different from mine.
