Worst (international) business class seats

OMaaT has an article giving their opinion on this. Fortunately of these, only Euro business and BA are booked by me, and only for relatively short hops within Europe, on Award flights.

The World's Worst Business Class Seats: Here Are My Picks, Do You Agree?

Which airlines have the worst business class seats? Here's my take, though I'm sure many will disagree with my opinions.

The biz seat I have liked least in recent years is Asiana from Almaty to Seoul - angled flat. I am OK with LATAM's 2-2-2 as I like lots of foot room and I chose an aisle.

It’s a pretty good list.

However I don’t mind eurobusiness… depending on the airline. Lufthansa, Swiss, BA and Air France all do cracking meals, which makes up for it.

Lufthansa’s ‘footsie’ seats get a bad rap, but they're actually ok! Not the most private, but comfortable and I sleep well.

And finally poor old BA. Yeah, it’s weird looking at someone during takeoff and landing, but with a bulkhead seat you get private aisle access and the bed is super comfortable.

So that grindr gag he made about Royal Air Maroc and the config they have on their B787, well that’s the same kind of config PR have in their older A330s.



Except, PR don’t have the IFE screens in front of you, as per the image in OMaaT. It’s stream direct to your own device from a very limited catalogue.

When I took that image above a few weeks ago flying MNL-RUH, there were only 3 pax in the J cabin. It was a day time flight so I never put it into full bed mode. All in all it was fine for that circumstance.

Contrast that to last night flying the return RUH-MNL: night time flight and a full J cabin. Sharing that space with the person in the aisle was a little awkward, but when fully reclining and trying to go to sleep (I was window seat and therefore ‘top’) there’s a gap between the bed and fuselage of about 15-20cm. The pillow falls down there and it does feel a little like your body could partially as well.

Very poor product.

…redeemed only by peering through the curtain behind at the 3-3-3 layout PR have in whY on these flights. Normally an A330 in whY is 2-4-2, but this sub fleet of older A330s that PR runs, tends to be used for their MidEast flights where the bulk of pax are domestic overseas workers.

Agree with Asiana business from Almaty to Seoul. It was the worst experience we have had, basically no padding left on the seats, felt like seat cloth on top of the mechanical components of the seat whilst being poked by components, you could barely sit in the seats. The seat cloth was worn and stained and a horrible yellow, and it was an angled.
It was in 2019, and at the time, a 5 Star startrax airline……..

MH. If you want a single seat on the window then your feet are channeled into a narrow space when flat. If you don't select that row then the next row is two seats together. And between those seats is where the foot channel is.
