Icelandair Saga Premium Class Bulkhead?
Wonder if anyone can tell me what the bulkhead seats are like on Icelandair Saga Premium class? I am worried about the legroom. Advantage is no one to lean back into your space but not if the legroom is cramped.

Commenting on this thread because I particularly hated the bulkhead on my KEF-BOS FI flight. I flew Icelandair's 737 MAX 8 in Saga Premium class (business) both directions.
I found the bulkhead leg room in 1F to be perfectly adequate (not cramped) and similar to 2F, where I sat BOS-KEF. I'm not particularly tall, though; nor is my spouse who sat next to me for the bulkhead flight.
What I found really objectionable was that Icelandair does not only *NOT* reserve overhead bin space for those passengers without under-seat storage. Annoying enough! Even worse, the FA's use the front-most bins for their own stuff, and had a "why should I care?" attitude about assisting a passenger pre-boarding with a disability to find room nearby for cabin bags that would be needed in flight.
I think bin space should always be held for pax in rows without floor stowage until everyone in those seats has boarded...

On the 757, if the 757 has a complete row 1, the bulkhead is kinda limiting
If it has only 1AC, the row 2 DF have a storage space under the coat store into which feet fit quite nicely.
Either way, the front row screens pop out of the seat and are rather smaller than the others.
We boarded from the centre of the plane both times so Row 1 is furthest fromt he door we were using.
