We just did Economy with paying extra for Exit Row to Oslo, Norway with a stop in Iceland and coming back we won/paid for the Class Up upgrade to Saga Premium class from Iceland back to the U.S.

My husband is 6' 3" and it was a 5.5 hour flight to Iceland, so we paid for the Exit Row upgrade. If you need more leg room, this was definitely the way to go! It was much more than Exit Rows on American domestic airline. The people in front of us could recline their seats and there was still plenty of distance between their seat and our knees. The drawback is that on take-off and landing, you are not allowed to have any personal item below the seat in front of you and depending on the flight attendant on your lap either, so you personal item has to be put in the overhead compartment. We each had a small bag that we had our snacks and things we needed that we were able to tuck into the seat pocket, so it was fine. If guess you could get your personal item down after your take off, but you would have to stow it before you land. No free earbuds or headphone, you need to rent them. We pre-paid and ordered meals online before we left. The lasagna dinner was really good. Salad had mozzarella, olives, tomatoes. Nice piece of lasagna and a mousse. No free snacks and alcoholic drinks you pay for.

On the way from Reykjavik, Iceland to the United States, we won the Class Up Upgrade to Saga Premium which was nice since it was a 6 hour flight. The drawback was we had already paid for the Exit Row on the way back, so we lost that money. We also had pre-ordered sandwiches. The Saga Premium attendant did not have a record of it, but my husband was able to show her his e-mail, so she got us our paid for sandwiches from Economy which we kept for dinner. Upgrading from Iceland is the way to go. At the Keflavik airport is a 14,500 sq for Saga Premium lounge you will have access to. It has serve yourself wines, beers, and hard liquor from bottles. Food included a little sandwich, mini pita pizza, spring roll, salad, cold cuts, cheese, bread, a few desserts at dinner time. Of course, you get free food and an extensive wine/drink/Gin list onboard.

The seats were in a two seat configuration. We finally had so much room between our shoulders that our shoulders and arms were no longer crowding each other like economy plus I had a hand width between my hips and sides of the seat on each side - roomy! Plenty of leg room even with the seats reclining farther but there was less room than the Economy Exit row. .You get a pillow which was really good for supporting your lower back, warm blanket, amenity kit, and free to use noise cancelling headphones plus a choice of dinner and free drinks. Our dinner choices were Salmon served three ways (cold) with blini pancakes and gravlax sauce or Lamb shank with potatoes, baby carrots, and asparagus.

In summary, Economy with the Exit Row upgrade will give you a lot of extra leg room but your personal items need to be stored during take-off and landing. The Lasagna dinner is a very good choice for a pre-paid meal.

Saga Premium - seats were wider with good leg room but less than the Exit row. Access to Saga Premium lounge in Iceland is excellent. Free drinks (wider selection) and dinner. I did like the Economy lasagna better than the salmon though.
