As airlines vie for the lucrative business of executive travelers, the quality of their premium offerings continues to climb to stratospheric heights.
In compiling our list of the top 12 airlines for business class, we established certain baseline criteria, like fully flat beds, something each of the airlines on our list offers. Many also have ample space between seats and easy access to the aisle -- configurations that certain airlines, like Swiss and Singapore, have mastered. We consulted several sources, from SeatGuru.com to London-based Skytrax, which operates the World Airline Awards, a global benchmark of airline excellence based on extensive customer surveys. We also scanned reader surveys from trusted sources like Travel + Leisure magazine and intel from industry insiders like veteran flight attendants and savvy travel bloggers.
So who's the best in business class? Click here to find out.
