Nice webpage - very good description of the standard and amenities on the flights - I use BC to compare both prices and cabin quality and book my flights.
Have used bussinessclass.com for half a year already and I am very happy, it works out perfect and customer support is also very good. There are some other sites who uses the same name, but they are not as good as this one which I would say is the original and most trustworthy.
Businessclass.com always have the best hotel and flight deals. Airlines and hotels are reviewed to offer you the best experience.

This review focuses on Icelandair Business Class between New York City and Reykjavík. Seats are the Icelandair Saga Seat in a 2-2 layout that converts to a comfortable bed. Expect flexible dine-on-demand service and easy lounge access at Keflavík. Newer Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft bring faster Wi‑Fi and refreshed cabins; older 757s feel a bit tighter. Service is warm and efficient. If you prioritize privacy and a true lie-flat bed on this short transatlantic hop, Icelandair is a solid choice.
Pros
- Generous recline and lie-flat capability on Saga seats
- Dine-on-demand menu with Icelandic options
- Reliable Saga Lounge access at Reykjavík
- Fast onboard Wi‑Fi on newer MAX 8s
- Attentive, friendly crew on transatlantic sectors

Cons
- No fully enclosed suites
- Seat width narrower than long-haul widebodies
- Limited overhead/storage for bulky carry-ons
- Lavatory lines on full flights

When to go: Reykjavik climate
For New York City (NYC) to Reykjavik (REK) trips, July is the mildest at about 52.7°F (11.5°C) with just 50 mm of rain, ideal for day tours; pack light layers and a waterproof shell.
January–February average roughly 30–31°F (-1.0 to -0.5°C) with 80–85 mm of precipitation, so insulated, windproof layers and waterproof boots make winter sightseeing more comfortable.
Shoulder months May and September sit near 42.8°F (6.0°C) and 46.4°F (8.0°C) with 60–80 mm of rain, a workable balance of cooler temps and showers; keep flexible plans to dodge passing weather.
Autumn is wetter: October and November bring about 110 mm and 100 mm, roughly double June–July’s 50 mm; if visiting then, build buffer time into your schedule and favor centrally located hotels.

When to book:
Optimal booking window
On New York City (NYC) to Reykjavik (REK), the lowest average price level appears around 75 days before departure at 87, about 13% below booking the day before (100); aim for roughly 11 weeks out.
A broad sweet spot spans 60–105 days, with price levels 88–91, or about 9–12% cheaper than day‑before; if you see a suitable fare in that window, lock it in.
Booking 30–21 days out rises to 93–96, eroding roughly half the savings versus the low; if you’ve waited this long, set a decision deadline to avoid further creep.
Very early purchases 135–150 days out sit at 95–96, still 4–5% cheaper than day‑before and useful for fixed summer plans or specific seat needs, but watch for dips around 60–90 days.
Inside a week averages 99, effectively near the worst price; unless travel is urgent, avoid last‑minute buys and push plans even a few weeks earlier.
Price seasonality:
Cheapest months to fly
For New York City (NYC) to Reykjavik (REK), July price levels average 120 versus January 84, about 43% higher; if flexibility allows, a March trip at 92 trims roughly 23% off July.
Summer peaks (Jun–Aug) run 112–120, while shoulder May and September sit at 104 and 108, about 10–13% cheaper than July; target late May or mid‑September to balance cost and weather.
Deep winter (Jan–Feb) sits at 84–85, roughly 15% below the annual average of 100, which suits Northern Lights trips if you’re prioritizing value and availability.
November at 90 is about 25% lower than July’s 120, and early December at 96 undercuts summer by roughly 20%; plan trips before the late‑December holiday push for steadier pricing.
Tips for a seamless journey
- Confirm your exact New York City (NYC) departure airport and terminal before you leave; premium check-in desks and lounge access points differ by terminal and can change with schedule adjustments.
- Check the aircraft type and Business Class seat map when booking and again after any schedule change for New York City (NYC) to Reykjavik (REK); layouts differ and affect privacy, bed length, and storage.
- Choose a window seat away from galleys and lavatories if you plan to sleep; those zones see less light and foot traffic, which helps you rest on this transatlantic sector.
- Ask if your lounge in New York City (NYC) offers pre-flight dining for evening departures; eating on the ground lets you maximize rest time once airborne.
- Verify whether your airline supports advance Business Class meal selection and note the cutoff; pre-ordering speeds service so you can sleep or work sooner after takeoff.
- Use priority security at New York City (NYC) and plan a small buffer above your usual arrival time; terminal queues can spike around long-haul departure waves.
- If connecting beyond Reykjavik (REK), confirm whether your bags are checked through and whether you must clear security again; add a buffer above the minimum connection time to protect tight links.
- Confirm Business Class cabin baggage weight and smart bag battery rules at booking; enforcement varies by carrier and security screening standards in New York City (NYC).
- Rely on BusinessClass.com concierge: WhatsApp booking alerts on your reservation already deliver gate and schedule updates, and you can reach our live team quickly by phone for personalized seat, meal, or rebooking help.
- Check for a Wi-Fi pass purchase option before boarding and compare with in-flight pricing; pre-purchase can be lower, so verify current rates during checkout.
