CSA A320

I will be flying between AMS and PRG in an A320 of CSA in Business. Do these planes have economy class seats disguised as business or regular Business seats like domestic first class for US airlines?

Neither.
34" pitch (2 inches more than the back of the plane) and folding armrest conversion (which translates into very good seat width and a small table in the middle). Unless you're of gigantic proportions, it's perfectly comfortable for sitting/lounging in.

So similar to air France business class on the A320? Also, I will buy a ticket prg to lhr, is the business class worth paying double the price than economy? I don't care about the onboard food only the comfort factor. Also, since I am sky team elite plus I assume I would anyways get lounge access in prg even if I fly econ. So should I pay double to get business or just go coach? Also, how is the lounge in prg?

Thanks.

Yep. Indeed, a couple of the 735s that are still knocking about are actually ex-AF, complete with AF-coloured upholstery and branded seatbelt buckles.

The lounge is very adequate but not very exciting. Showers are available and so is internet (your computer or theirs), but the food selection is quite poor, and the alcoholic beverage selection isn't extensive. You have access as an Elite Plus.
As to whether it's worth it...well, the CSA business class product is one of the very best in Europe. Predeparture drinks, (generally) good food, a large selection of spirits, coat-hanging service, space for your rollaboard in the closet...But, at the end of the day, the LHR flight is only two hours long, so I would stick to Y and make sure to get a seat either in the exit row or one of the 7-8 front rows (where you'll at least get the 34" pitch).

Thanks a lot for your responses, I appreciate your feedback.

Looks like I will book Y to LHR since it is essentially the same seat and I anyways get lounge access. I look forward to the AMS-PRG sector in business.
Thanks again.
