Business Class
Renowned for its high standard of attentive service, Air France’s Business Class is constantly evolving to offer its customers the very finest from the art of French living. From its cabin amenities to its exquisite meal service, Air France is continuing its efforts to provide ever more refined service, combining modernity and comfort.
One year after the launch of its new Business Class seat, now available on flights to more than 25 destinations and earning the praise of 90% of its customers, Air France continues to enhance its Business Class offer. In 2012, two-thirds of long-haul aircraft will be equipped with the new Business Class seat.
Air France based its research on ergonomics specialists’ recommendations and consultations with customers and introduced a more comfortable seat featuring:
•a new seat structure, offering a lie-
flat seat-bed measuring over 2m in length,
•simpler and more practical controls,
•new storage space,
•a new screen in 16:9 format.
5 kilos lighter, this seat generates less CO2 emissions. It is therefore more environment-friendly."
Furthermore, more other sites define AF BC Seat as "FLAT"...see my previous post carefully
Surely it's not a king size bed, but it is if compared to the LH Sofa.
BTW I agree that I found this difference on A380 ONLY...I agree that on all the other airplanes AF and LH are comparable.
...and last but not least, a Citroen 2CV was quite better than a Trabant...
