Today (June 19, 2017): Top 10 world’s best airlines for longhaul Business Class.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Each year, I give a round-up of my favorite 10 Business Class products in the world. Flying Business Class is\u00a0purely aspirational for most, a lifetime experience for some (I belong to this category), and a must for a select few. With Business Class, the journey itself\u00a0becomes a fun experience: there is no waiting in line or hassling at the airport, you get access to upscale airport lounges<\/a>, you will interact with\u00a0attentive personnel, gourmet food<\/a> and wine will treat all your senses, and a comfortable flat-bed guarantees total relaxation. But\u00a0which airline has the best Business Class cabin and product? I hereby present you my selection of the top 10 best Business Class cabins of 2017 (reflecting my own personal taste).<\/p>\n

There is more information (with several\u00a0trip reports<\/a>\u00a0& Youtube clips) below my slideshow. Think I missed one? Leave a\u00a0comment<\/strong>, or take the\u00a0poll<\/strong>\u00a0below!<\/p>\n

10. FINNAIR<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

When Finnair became the European launch customer of the next-generation Airbus A350 XWB (extra wide body) aircraft two years ago, it put a lot of effort in\u00a0the\u00a0cabin design of its new flagship longhaul Business Class product and collaborated with\u00a0top Helsinki firm dSign Vertti Kivi & Co. The\u00a0A350\u2019s bright and spacious Business Class cabin features\u00a046 seats in a 1-2-1 layout, ensuring direct aisle access to all passengers. The Zodiac Cirrus III seats convert to fully flat beds, while a large\u00a0touch-screen inflight entertainment system comes programmed with films, TV shows, music and other digital content on demand in numerous languages.\u00a0An exquisite new A350 signature menu features Nordic delicacies and carefully selected wines.\u00a0A very nice touch is that Finnair offers free WiFi to all Business Class passengers on its A350 planes. In addition, there\u2019s a\u00a0dedicated Ladies\u2019 Room that provides cosmetics and other supplies for female passengers. When you book a flight on Finnair, keep in mind that its A330 planes have a less impressive Business Class product, although they still features fully flat seats.<\/p>\n
