  • Welcome to another trip report!
    On January 24, I flew Icelandair from New York John F. Kennedy International Airport to Reykjavík-Keflavík International Airport. Icelandair is the flag carrier of Iceland, headquartered at Keflavík International Airport. The geographical position of Iceland is convenient for one-stop transatlantic flights, which are one pillar of their business strategy, along with traffic to and from the country. (#MyStopover) I hope you enjoy my Icelandair review!
    Airline: Icelandair
    Aircraft: Boeing 757-308 (TF-FIX)
    Seat: 29A (Economy)
    Flight Number: FI614
    Route: JFK to KEF
    Flight Time: 4 hours, 31 minutes
    Date of Travel: January 24, 2019

    If you want to fly a BA B744, now is as good as time as any, although you have several years left. BA will be among the last 747-400 operators when the final ones fly in about 5 years.
    The aircraft with the refurbished cabins are quite pleasant, you'd almost never know these are 25 year old aircraft.

      Recently flew a VS 744 MAN-JFK, which doesn't have long left, at least with that carrier. That was okay but did not have the state of the art IFE offered on some newer VS fleet types, and the cabin looked and felt slightly tired. Still, it was more than acceptable and their service is very good even in Economy.
