You can always contact Icelandair to have your ticket(s) upgraded to Saga Premium.
You can also bid for an upgrade to Saga Premium with Icelandair's Class Up.
On the Class Up page you can check your eligibility for Class Up, but you should also receive an e-mail regarding Class Up if you're eligible.
If you're more than one person travelling and you place a bid for e.g. $80
, you'll be charged $80 x 2 = $160
. If you want to split the booking and only upgrade some tickets you have to split it 10 days before departure.
You'll get a real Saga Premium ticket if you win, having lounge access, unlimited in-flight food and drinks and everything else that comes with Saga Premium.
I've used Class Up many times and the calculation I usually do to decide whether or not to place a bid is usually the following:
After asking myself these questions I often do Class Up as it would cost the same as food and drinks - and I enjoy the lounges and the service.
