Welcome to our round-up of long-haul business class seats currently available on Asian and Australian airlines. In the last couple of issues we have looked at European carriers (November), Middle East (December-January) and US carriers (February 2023). As a reminder, here we are focusing on the seats available rather than service elements, such as food and drink, inflight entertainment, etc. If you visit businesstraveller.com you will find numerous reviews of most of the airlines here where those aspects are discussed and assessed.
The good news for travellers is that the majority of airlines offering long-haul flights now have seats that recline fully flat in business class. Most airlines choose from one of several designs, and then, to a greater or lesser extent, add bespoke elements to those seats. This may mean just choosing a distinctive colour scheme to fit in with their brand, or it might mean adding a door to a seat and calling it a suite. The balance for the airline is how to stay price competitive while at the same time differentiating itself from competitors by offering a distinctive experience.
