Icelandair

Iceland's flagship airport lounge — a Nordic-styled Icelandair Saga retreat with showers and a hot buffet.

About this lounge

The Icelandair Saga Lounge is the flagship lounge at Keflavik International Airport, set airside in the transit area between the A and C gates. As Icelandair's home lounge, it serves Saga Class passengers and eligible Saga Club elite members, along with qualifying partner-alliance travellers. The design leans into Iceland's landscape — natural volcanic rock, warm wood tones, soft lighting and comfortable Nordic seating create a genuinely calm space, with low noise levels and quiet corners for those who want to work or unwind. Facilities cover the essentials for a long-haul connection: a hot and cold buffet, a bar with complimentary house wine, beer and spirits, shower rooms, fast Wi-Fi, plenty of charging, flight information screens and a business-centre area. Because Keflavik is a transatlantic connecting hub, the lounge is a useful place to shower and eat before a long flight. It runs daily from 05:00 to 17:00, covering the busy morning and midday departure banks.

A comfortable place to work before a flight, with a business-centre area, fast Wi-Fi, charging at many seats and quiet corners. Good for email and focused work during a transatlantic connection, though it isn't a dedicated business suite.

Food & drink

A complimentary hot and cold buffet with snacks and hot dishes, alongside a bar serving house wine, beer and spirits plus soft drinks, special coffee and hot beverages. It's a proper meal stop before a long transatlantic flight rather than just a snack bar.

Insider tips

Icelandair Saga Lounge tips

01

Both Keflavik lounges are Icelandair Saga lounges — this one sits between the A and C gates, the other deeper into the pier between gates 6 and 8.

02

There's no Priority Pass or walk-in day pass here; access follows your Icelandair ticket, Saga Club status or partner-alliance tier.

03

Use the showers before a long transatlantic leg — Keflavik is a connecting hub and this is a good place to freshen up.

04

The lounge runs daily 05:00–17:00, so it covers the morning and midday banks but not late-evening departures.

05

Match your lounge to your gate so you're not walking the length of the pier with hand luggage.
