Dear Alex,
I need to fly business class between London and Tokyo and would like to know who has the best flat-beds on offer. Also what is available if I were to fly Paris-Tokyo instead?
Paul Westlake, London, UK
Alex replies: If you want a fully-flat bed, opt for either British Airways or Virgin Atlantic out of London. The two Japanese carriers plying this route are JAL and ANA, and both have angled lie-flat seats.
Air France, ANA and JAL all ply the Paris-Tokyo route. All have angled lie-flat seats but you should check availability as not every flight may feature them. For example, Air France operates three different aircraft types and some planes may still be fitted with the carrier’s less spacious older business class seating.
