Seat Types in Business Class, Pt. 2
Airlines are constantly improving the types of Business Class seats on offer, adding new configurations, and converting First Class rooms to Business. We recently talked about the many types of business fights seat classes, and now it’s time to add to that list.
Here are the several types of business class seats:
Business-Class Seats in Suites
The entire game-changer that offers Business Class customers rooms on board is one step closer to combining Business and First Class cabins. With entirely flat beds and sliding doors, the suites (closed ones) provide optimum seclusion for passengers.

Qsuite is the best Business Class seat.
According to the 2018 Skytrax World Airline Awards and the 2018 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, this is the best business class seat design in the world. Any other airline would be foolish to choose Qatar Airways’ distinctive seat type. The Qsuite Business Class flight seat, also known as an open suite seat, is a perfect fit for First Class and is only available in Qatar Airways’
Business Class flight cabins. Each Business Class flights Qsuite has two double beds for two passengers, as well as a door for privacy. In Business Class, Qatar’s first fully lie-flat double bed ensures the best journey for you and your travel companion.
- Only Qatar Airways (selected 777-300 aircraft) and the A350 are available.
A business class seat with a cradle and reclining seat type.
As ANA Nippon Airways suggests, imagine yourself in a cradle, relaxing in space on your own. The Cradle Seat features reclining seat supports that wrap around your entire body for cradle-like relaxation. It also includes a four-way adjustable headrest and footrest. A huge table and a large divider screen are also included in the Cradle Business Class seats (for two-seat rows). This seat is only available in ANA Nippon Airways’ Business Class cabins and provides the comfort of a cradle seat for business class travelers.

A business class seat aboard the Thompson Vantage XL
The XL Vantage piqued our interest when we first heard about the Vantage seat. The bed width of this seat is one of the largest among all the Business Class seats available. Aside from that, the seat features storage, connectivity, and a huge screen, all of which are ideal for business class travelers’ needs.
Delta is planning to launch the A350 and A330 aircraft models in the near future.
