Icelandair Boeing 737 MAX 8 (160 seats)
160 seats: 16 good, 12 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–4, seats A and F (Saga Premium): saga Premium window seat: wider seat with 40 inches of pitch, away from the front galley and lavatory.
- Rows 2–4, seats C and D (Saga Premium): saga Premium aisle seat: 40 inches of pitch and easy to get up without climbing past anyone.
- Row 13, seats A, C, D and F (Economy): exit row 13: extra legroom with full recline likely, but you must be willing and able to help in an emergency.
Seats to avoid
- Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): row in front of the overwing exits: recline is likely limited (Icelandair's drawing doesn't say), with no exit-row legroom of its own.
- Row 28, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row of the aircraft, against the rear lavatories Icelandair draws on both sides: recline is likely limited and the queue forms beside you.
