It feels abnormally long on the inside as well. I was on board one of the first FI flights after Icelandair took delivery of the extended aircraft and overheard the cabin crew discussing in disbelief how long it was. They were joking about using rollerblades to move up and down the aisle! Feels quite weird especially as it isn't a wide body.
