Icelandair (FI): AVOID the 738M with 12F. No power, no wifi, no AVOD
I just boarded KEF-BWI after flying BER-KEF. Saga Premium revenue ticket. Both flights were on the ex Royal Air Maroc 738M. Unlike the rest of Icelandair's fleet, these planes do not have WiFi, power, or seat back screens. I think it would be one thing to not have those features on an intra-Europe flight, but to have it on a TATL is completely unacceptable in this day and age. Obviously, FI is running these planes because they're short on aircraft, but there is no reason these should be operated on any flight over 2 hours, let alone 6.
BEWARE AND AVOID. You can identify them by checking the seat map. They have 12 first class seats rather than 16.

This is the all-white/no livery plane ?
