Airline Video Reviews

A solid, well thought-out fully-flat business class seat. It isn’t world-beating, but good service from the flight attendants, an above-average choice of food and wine and the benefits of the A350 – a quieter aircraft, better air and pressure, a smoother ride, and wifi for working on day flights – raises it in the rankings. There’s also a strong table and some storage areas around the seat (more than the Virgin Atlantic seat, for instance). It will certainly be welcomed by Air France flyers. Read more

A comfortable premium economy seat with all the power you need to work and enough room to sleep for night flights.

This is an excellent seat which addresses all the problems of the existing Club World seat. It offers direct aisle access to every passenger, has privacy – unlike the current one you don’t have to make eye contact with anyone, and it is comfortable for sitting, working and sleeping. I hope it is robust. There are certainly teething problems with it at the moment, but perhaps that’s to be expected with the first delivery. Read more

A review of the ‘old’ Club World seat – but it’s still flying and this was on a Covid flight in may 2020, when most of the world was still locked down and there was some interest in how the service had changed….

A review of the new business class suite from Etihad Airways – you may recognise it as the same seat / suite as the British Airways Club Suite, but it feels very different onboard.

This is a ‘first-look’ video of the new long haul business class seat form Finnair.

It will be available for sale rom March 1, 2022 for flights from May 2022, though you might unexpectedly find it on flights before that if you are lucky.

The new seats will roll out across the carriers’ long haul fleet of A330 and A350 aircraft, starting this month. The €200 million investment also includes improvements to economy class. This new seat concept was originally conceived by PriestmanGoode of London and was further developed by Collins Aerospace, with customisation and final design execution by Finnair and its design partner, Tangerine.

Norse is the ‘new Norwegian’, using its fleet of B787s to have another go at long haul low cost – predominantly transatlantic. This review is of the Premium cabin (premium economy) on the inaugural flight from London Gatwick to New York.

If you can pick up one of the cheaper tickets, it’s an absolute bargain, but pricing varies hugely, so be prepared to book early – not easy as the airline currently doesn’t have its winter schedules available.

Is this the finest business class experience in the sky? You decide….
