Icelandic flys with a "pseudo-Business" class as well.

EI OTOH has announced it's new A330 Business product and it looks like a significant upgrade to the current slanted flat product. SFO-DUB and onward looks good.

And their offerings onward to Europe don't look so bad (31-32" pitch) now that BA has taken Club Europe to thirty inch seat pitch throughout. Middle seat blocking is OK, but 30" pitch is miserable for many of us over six feet.
