New Business Class airline seats and other trends at the pointy end
Sydney Morning Herald article
"It's arguable which airline invented business class, although Qantas claims bragging rights for introducing that now-established name in 1979.
And while some airlines are cutting back on their chi-chi first class cabins due to poor demand at the pointy end, business class is striding ahead.
New seat designs leap beyond lie-flat beds and bigger video screens as airlines vie for the wallets and purses of the well-heeled and the corporate traveller.
Here are five of the latest business class seats, from today's best designs to next year's impressive newcomers."
