Well, it all depends... their business class will be better than their economy but it may not be much better and you may be dissapointed if you compare their business class with other airlines. They did get a few new planes that supposedly have lay flat seats but I haven't flown one yet and can't confirm they are truly lay flat - the hype/pictures on their website frequently do not match reality. I can say that I've never found myself delighted in their business class but have found myself dissapointed; lack of amenity kits, business seats with no legroom due to bulkhead or close spacing, inadequate reclines, lack of inflight entertainment, worn interiors, uninterested cabin crew, mediocre food, no alcohol, delayed departures, lack of overhead bin space availability and mob scenes at boarding and discharge. Their new lounges in Cairo T3 aren't bad - dry though. I am a gold card member with their program but started putting all my miles from their flights on my Continental gold card now (thanks CO for status matching me). I do like being able to check in at the *A gold desks as they are sometimes much faster than the general lines when I fly economy.
