Dinner - The dinner service started with a bag of cheese-flavored sticks. Don't people know that the adjective "cheesy" in English is not necessarily complimentary?! On each tray the starter was identified as Pheasant Wellington with sun-dried tomatoes and slices of portabello mushrooms. The main course choices were halibut and lamb tenderloin. (The 3rd option was duck-breast but I didn't get a picture of that.) There were also grapes and cheeses on each tray. The usual array of breads and rolls were available. Dessert was what Icelandair called "Opera Cake," a rich chocolate confection. Initially I'd thought the portion-size to be skimpy, but it was so rich I could hardly finish it.

Spirits, wines, juices, soft-drinks, coffee, tea.

Passengers in Icelandair's Saga Class have access to its business-class lounge at the airport in Keflavik, which features a nice variety of sandwiches and bakery items. Since most flights to North America leave in the late afternoon one is hungry enough by 3-4pm to sample the lounge's offerings; by the time dinner is served on the flight it almost seems to be too much food! Overall, Icelandair is not about to leave any of its business-class passengers go hungry.
