[…] requires 94,000 miles for round trip flights to London on what some travel bloggers are calling the best Business Class in the air right now. That’s a stark contrast even after considering the fact that you will be paying $150 more in […]

I am more interested in what is the best seat for a couple – my wife and I like to sit next to each other and be close enough to chat while in business class (I don’t know any premium first-class seats where we can do this).
Which airlines/aircraft would you recommend for us?

My biggest problem with most of the Asian airlines including ANA, Singspore airlines, EVA etc is they have no temperature or air control above the seats. On top of that, most Asian offices and airlines seem to run their air conditioners 5-7deg warmer than we do in the USA. What’s the point of these awesome seats if I am waking up all sweaty every time?

thanks for the review.
quick question – is there an HDMI port in business class?
I see one advertised on ANA’s site for First, but not business… it’d be cool to be able to hook up phone / tablet to the 24″ screen.

Just how long is this seat and sleeping area? If you’re 6ft + are you going to struggle??

In reply to Jason. Jason, really interesting to see someone agree here! I echo your sentiment entirely, particularly with the headphones. If they get the soft touches fully up to scratch, this is a force to reckon with. Best regards!

Thanks for the detailed review.

I was on the inaugural HND-LHR in “The Room” and loved it. Thought it was better than the QSuites (wider and more spacious) and was able to sleep straight, not angled like SQ J. (I’m 5’7″). The width didn’t bother me and it felt even slightly wider than SQ J (I was on one of their older A380s a couple of days later). Perhaps, it was the ability to recline to more angles, or more bedding on the seat.

There were a few interesting features:
– Meal table light – great for food photography
– Service information for the flight on the IFE – showing progress of the flight, meal timings
– In-room “sleep” lighting (slightly gimmicky) – I didn’t really use it as it was a day flight but a timer can be set to dim out and gradually brighten up

There was limited 4K programming and live TV channels but the hardware is in place and will be great when they have more content. Btw, the IFE screens in First look massive and extremely vibrant

Minor niggles, and nothing to do with the seat, but would have been great to have some complimentary Wifi in Business and better quality noise-cancelling headphones (i.e. BYO). As it was the first flight, was expecting some publicity at the gate or giveaways, but there was none. Lots of oohs and aahs on boarding though.
