JFK-KEF
Hi everyone
Im looking at flying JFK-KEF, specifically on October 1. I cannot find any business class seats on the flight, or indeed any on the flights around that date, any ideas why?
As an aside, do basic economy fares on this route allow for a checked bag or no?

This is a recent change, so we don't know what the service will look like. My guess is that the food will be similar to domestic first class. The biggest loss is lounge access and Westin bedding.

Checked bag fees will apply for basic economy tickets, even on international routes, after April 10. For travel departing before April 10, 2018, Basic Economy passengers still get 1 free checked bag.
For Basic Economy, U.S. and Canada TO AND FROM Europe/North Africa (ticketing on or after Dec. 6, 2017 for travel on/after April 10, 2018) will have the following baggage fees:
- 1st bag fee is $60/50EUR/75CAD
- 2nd bag fee is $100/85EUR/120CAD

The lead FA used one to nap for an hour or two after dinner.
The Saga lounge was nice. Had the place almost entirely to ourselves.

That's still expensive when you consider (1) the short duration of the flight and (2) the fact that you could have bought an entire row of economy seats for much less money.
