Business Class Seats Specifications
While in-flight amenities, service and entertainment available in business class are often comparable across airlines, the type of seat offered can vary significantly. Business class seats can be categorised by one of the following descriptions:
Recliner Seats: These seats do not offer the significant recline of the lie-flat and flat-bed seats, but still offer excellent space and comfort.
Lie-Flat Seats: While airlines often market these seats as having 180 degrees of recline, in their fully reclined position they are slightly angled and do not lay completely horizontal. Passengers often find these seats to be extremely comfortable for relaxing and working, but not conducive to sleep when in the fully reclined position because of the awkward angle.
Flat Bed Seats: When fully reclined, these seats are completely horizontal, creating a bed that is fully flat. These seats always receive high accolades for being comfortable both as seats and beds.
Suites: These seats offer the utmost in privacy and comfort. Each suite is essentially its own mini-cabin which includes a fully-flat bed, work station and television.
