I understand from some older posts that the business is the same as economy just they block the middle seat!

Any recent experiances? Would love to hear.

Thanks
Ive done the TLV-MXP run and only the left side that is Right side when boarding but Left when viewing the seat maps. Are with the blocked middle seats. The other side has 3 across and they fill 'em. Unless you get Row 1 dont expect any leg room or the same as in coach.

My suggestion would be look into Brussels Air the old Sabena at least they are using a A-330 bet BRU and DKR, to/from TLV is a A-319. Long connecting times so maybe you could do use another Carrier with a stop to get to/from BRU and TLV. Or most likely with a 13+hr layover on the way back they will be giving you a hotel room to use, so you can do some running around the City and still get some sleep and a shower in, Id LOVE that type of a layover.

never flew on IB but Ive been on a number of European Airlines -320/1 and they are all basically the same.
