Icelandair’s Saga Lounge offers premium amenities at Reykjavik Airport

Access to the Saga Lounge extends beyond business class passengers and those with specific status in Icelandair's loyalty program. Certain credit cards issued by Arion and Íslandsbanki also provide access. Additionally, customers from other airlines such as airBaltic, Alaska Airlines, Atlantic Airways, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Edelweiss Air, Finnair, Lufthansa, and United Airlines can access the lounge under specific conditions related to their status or class of travel.

The lounge was first inaugurated in 1988 and underwent significant renovations in 2017. These updates included expanding the space to 1300 square meters and enhancing its aesthetics with wood accents and improved lighting.

Icelandair CEO Bogi Nils Bogason explained that offering high-quality products is essential for competing against larger low-cost airlines: "In Iceland we offer high living standards that mean high salaries in general... So we will never win against the big low cost airlines... on prices or costs. Our strategy has always been to have the right product."
