​@imtiyazmaruf5145 nope. British airways, lufthansa, air france, all guilty of using economy seats for "bussiness class". It's not limited to low cost. Low cost airlines tsrly have a premium product

Glad to see footwells and straight seats being discussed. There is an obsession with privacy but when it comes to sleeping a tiny narrow footwell usually means a big fare and no sleep. I’d trade privacy for foot space and a good sleep rather than not being able to move my feet/risk getting cramp every time.

Thank you for calling out the narrow seats, particularly on Turkish. We flew from DFW to Istanbul last Spring on a 787 and I honestly felt like I was being squished the entire time. I will admit, I'm not exactly a petite person (former Rugby player) but still... Service was absolutely stellar but still...I know, first world problem :) Best wishes to you and Fiona for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025!

Completely agree, some of these business class seats might look nice but are not suitable for very tall and slightly wider people. I am 6'3" and typically what happens in these narrow BC seats that my shoulder or arm accidentally hits some button or remote control turning something on/off . Also having shoe size 13, makes it difficult for me to sleep as I am unable to move my feet around in some of these tiny foot wells. Yes, I know, first world problems, and its still better then economy, but I wish more BC seats were designed with taller people in mind.

Sam really liked this video review of all these various business classes and I’ve had the pleasure of sitting in business class on quite a few of the air carriers you mentioned. I have flown on Qatar the most in their business class mainly from DFW to Doha and a couple trips Doha to Bangkok and Doha to Miami. Have always thoroughly enjoyed their customer service and the privacy and comfort the Q-suite offers although sometimes they keep the cabin temperature too warm for my liking but that’s my personal preference. My second most favorite has been ANA’s The Room! You are absolutely correct about how wide that seat is and I loved that. Combined with their excellent customer service I thought it was an outstanding experience flying from Haneda to SFO and look forward to flying with them again. I did also fly Japan airlines but only was in Premium Economy which I thought was very comfortable but we’re talking business class so moving on…. Flew on a Turkish 787 from Istanbul to SFO direct and you were right! Those seats are NARROW. I’m 6ft tall but only 185lbs so not a huge guy but it was hard to get comfortable in that narrow seat but I did appreciate their customer service. The headset they provided was very tight and put a lot of pressure on my head so wasn’t a fan. I did however fly business class from Houston to Istanbul on a 777 and they had that 2-3-2 configuration and like you said I did sleep very well although I did have an unfair advantage as I was on the bulkhead with no one next to me and business class was pretty empty For me the worst has been any US domestic carrier. They still do not understand how to provide a top notch international business class product and the only one that remotely tries is United with their Polaris but they are waaay overcharging for that product compared to any international carrier. Based off this video and your recent video with your girlfriend Fiona to Oman I’d like to try Oman airlines and Air France so I look forward to that one day. One that was not mentioned here but I had the pleasure to fly business class was Finnair DFW to Helsinki. It’s a usual 1-2-1 in business so was comfortable sitting up and the service was excellent but laying flat was not very comfortable and they did not offer a mattress pad similar to what many other carriers offer so the bed was quite firm for me. Thanks for another great video Sam!

You said “weird” about the SQ seat, I just flew it again yesterday from JFK-FRA. The angle and the flip seat are both awful and not competitive at all. They also use this on the SIN-JFK non-stop, been on that too- so bad! I give up, will use others that are better - EVA, Ethiad, Emirates, etc. and more extras, better food, etc.too!

I tried the Japan Airlines A350-1000 business class product last year on the DFW-HND route, it was a fabulous experience. The suite, food service, and beverages were great. Particularly I like their carefully designed schedules, you depart DFW at noon, and arrive in Haneda in the early afternoon, with two meals and an eight hour sleep.

Agree BA old business class seats are the worst. If you fly them, though, the window seats give a lot of privacy. If you can't get the window seats, the next best, surprisingly, is the middle seat in the 2-3-2 configuration. I wish I had known that before I booked my seats. Trying to sleep in the aisle seats was impossible.

Worst I’ve had was on my last flight…..JAL’s Sky Suite III. The foot box was very small and with size 12 feet on a 6’2” frame, it simply did not work at all. Conversely, the best was the 2-3-2 on JAL’s Sky Suite. I slept really well the times I had that configuration.

My favorite overall operator is ANA. Best service, best food, great amenities, and excellent business class seats. Be careful though because some ANA long haul flights (eg Jakarta-Tokyo) don’t have the full flat seats…. If they improve on that they would undoubtedly be the best airline out there.

I have flow in business class on a few US domestics flights (Northwest before merging with Delta, Delta, and American airlines). but the absolute best flight I ever had was in March 1993 when I had 4 seats (middle row seats) to myself on a Continental Airlines flight from Houston to Los Angeles (that plane was a stop over from Boston). I was able to create my own first/business class flight that included a dinner meal (US domestic flights offered them on domestic coach fare flights in the mid 1990s). This was on the best airplane every made an flow, the legendary L1011 (I was in the 3 to last middle row on that flight). Having 3 seats to myself on Southwest comes a very distant 2nd on a 737 come (not really hard to get). I do like flying business class since that is usually on sale for just about every airlines when comparing to their coach fare prices with all the add on extras. Some day I will try the middle eastern airline carriers ( which I am looking forward to but I don't believe it will ever beat my L1011 flight - but hopefully those middle eastern carriers will except my challenge).

The best business class long haul that I’ve used in recent years has been A.F. They are excellent in all departments. There may well be slightly better options out there but for me they score highly on all counts and that includes value for money. The lounge (not actually theirs) at my departure point is not very good but that’s no big deal because I never have much time to fill in anyway and I certainly don’t need food before a business class flight on A.F. 😊

You’d think that for the money airlines charge for business class seats, best practices in terms of ergonomics and layout would have been established. It seems that each airline has their own annoying quirks and features that appear to be more suitable for the airlines than their paying customers.

I really enjoyed your content and how detailed and honest you are in reviewing airlines! I’d like to suggest an airline that I think would make for an interesting case study: Air Algérie, Algeria’s national airline. It would be great to see your take on their economy, business, and first-class services. Covering aspects like comfort, safety, inflight service, and overall experience would be fascinating. This airline connects many destinations worldwide, yet it’s rarely featured on such reviews. Your objective and sincere feedback could offer a unique perspective for travelers considering Air Algérie and maybe even help the airline improve. Would you consider giving it a try? Thank you for all the amazing content!

Travelling on GF from BKK to FRA since 16 years. In the beginning it was dreadful....since the Dreamliner came out a good product. Their A 321 Business seat I would compare to LH - ok - but 787 much superior. Service always pleasant - small airline and I know a lot of pursers, flight attendants and ground staff. Superb lounge in BAH! Never disappointed! I fly this route around 3 times a year. Thanks for your kind reports. I follow all the time. Bests from Frank from Najomtien, Thailand!

Many/most of these business class pods have large protrusions where the footwells of pods behind encroach on the pods in front. This is fine if the seat in the pod in front is along the the aisle; however, if the seat is against the window and in lie-flat position, it is almost impossible to get out to use the toilet. Imagine getting out of your bed with a wall alongside you from your head to below your knees. I specifically avoid window seats in business class for this reason (I have never found this an issue in first class because the pods are quite different). I totally agree that Turkish business class is miserable and even worse with windowside seats. The ONLY semi-comfortable seats are the first row where the footwells are wide and deep.

What impressed me most was the crew, the food and the wine, they were also excptional. However, long bus transfers mixed YC &r JC was a let down, in the July heat of CDG, you did feel a bit like herded cattle. They could do better there, but being a realist I understand operational constraints.

Currently only 4 of them are flying and will be gradually retired when THAI receives new aircraft. So don't worry that you will get one of these on Europe flights.

I don’t actually mind the Air NZ seats - I was on the A side though. I found them private enough and slept well. My only gripe is that if you extend the IFE screen, you can’t roll over because it has no height adjust. Narrow seats are the bane of my existence - my best sleep has probably been on those old Turkish 777 2-3-2 seats. However, also lack of storage has been a pain on my most recent flights - a lot of recent flights have had nowhere to put stuff close to you.

I agree with you regarding Air NZ and have vowed never to fly their herringbone product again. There’s zero storage space but more importantly zero privacy from your seat neighbour when in the upright position. I recently flew from AKL-HKG and my seat neighbors compromised of a group of 3 colleagues who were intent on drinking the plane dry and talking as loudly as possible with no thought about how they were affecting others.Obviously it’s the luck of the draw as to who your fellow passengers are but on Air NZ you are very close to each other. Fortunately 2 hours into the flight I was able to move to the row on the other side. That said the cabin crew handled the situation extremely professionally and were outstanding. And to be fair Air NZ are installing a new business class product into their 787’s and I think the first one is ready soon.

They did give me 25000 air miles for the unpleasantness. Everybody got on the plane and was like is this business class?😂 I know some people don't like them but I took a Air France flight to Kenya that was fabulous during covid.

Just want to point out that the hard product that TK uses (Stelia Symphony) at 5:15 is also used by some other airlines, notably Singapore Airlines in their regional A350 and 787 and Air India on their ex-Vistara 787. I thought it’s worth pointing out since the gripes you mentioned are about the hardware.

Thanks for your feedback. I am aware that other airlines use the same seat but in Singapore's case it is more limited to regional and medium-haul as they have a separate long haul product. However, Turkish is using this seat on long-haul flights.

I flew China Airlines ( Taiwanese airline ) business class twice from Los Angeles to Taipei/HK. The seat was comfortable, and the food was delicious!

yeah CI's A350 was great with layflat (horizontal) seat private capsules - but they changed one of our legs to an older A330 with twin-seats, no privacy and I was sat next to, inches away from a stranger which was awkward, and the seats, listed as layflat, were flat except at a 30 degree angle above horizontal - UNCOMFORTABLE!

Hi Sam, Singapore Airlines has two types of long-haul business class seats. I have flown both types - normal recline and the fold down you showed. The recline is newer and easier to change position. But the fold down makes a better bed.

I'm from China and live in Hong Kong and Cathay's 777 regional business class seat also isn't good. Don't get me wrong. Cathay is my favourite airline but the 2-3-2 config just is a huge step down from their new aria suite or their long haul ones. Luckily, I only encountered those seats twice. Once from Chitose-HK and the other is Beijing-HK. I can't wait to try the aria suite this summer from HK-LAX

Not happy about JALs stereo in the headrest. You will, without doubt have someone who likes to blast the sound. Back in the 1980s we had this system in the drivers seat in the long distance coaches, passengers were not happy.

Hi Sam. Great video! My favourite business class seat is from Swiss. What do you think of this seat?

If I remember correctly most if not all QR A350-900/1000 have QSuite. Business class in my experience is just easier on Airbus, Dreamliner is the worst for someone quite tall (186 cm) independent on who makes the seat. For me the worst would be Finnair's business flat or not flat seat. I just not my cup of tea. I like SAS seats Thompson Aero Vantage XL - even Lufthansa installed them (for a trial?) and LATAM and Quantas consider it for their Sunshine project?

Here's to hoping QANTAS' A350-1000, to be used for Project Sunrise, will be a game changer.

I can’t even dare to imagine the price of business class for project sunrise. I have to say that the business class product of project sunrise is perfect. It will be the best business class on the world, but considering Qantas is running this route, I bet the price would be terrifying.

Nice review, still, the most shameful config remains EK’s 777, given their very high-end fare pricing in J.

UA business class is not bad at all. Beddings are extremely soft and comfortable. I fly United Airlines all the time and I always sleep like a baby, snuggled underneath the cozy quilt. Give it a try Sam, you will be pleased!
