Which Airline has the Best and Worst Business Class seat? Most of you would agree that the seat is the most important element of the passenger experience, especially on a long-haul flight. But there are so many types of long-haul Business Class seats out there…Suites, lie flat, angle flat, herringbones, etc. Here’s my personal take:

The worst Business Class seat is a pair of seats with 2 different levels when in full recline. You can hardly get out from the window side and are so close to the ground from the aisle side. These seats are installed on Philippine Airlines A330s and Royal Air Maroc (RAM) Boeing 787-8s.

The next worst Business Class seat belongs to airlines that still fly Boeing 777s in a 2-3-2 seat configuration. Emirates, Ethiopian, Turkish Airlines, Korean Air, PAL, and Egypt Air join this list…The list doesn’t stop here. Many inferior business class seat designs, such as the inward-facing herringbone seats on Virgin Atlantic and Air New Zealand, Lufthansa’s old Business Class, and Turkish Airlines' narrow Business Class, all made it to the worst list.

Now let's take a look at some of the best Business Class seats out there…The upcoming Qatar Airways Qsuite NextGen has features to fold away the wall petition to create a double suite that faces each other. Airlines from Japan (ANA and JAL) have some of the industry’s best seats installed on their new aircraft. How about Singapore Airlines Business Class seat?

Let me know if you agree or disagree with my choices. Please share with me your best and worst Business Class seat experience in the comment section!
