Any flatbed between european countries?
Every business class that i look for between european countries doesn't have flatbeds. I am making my itinerary for my trip in Europe and please if someone knows which airline or which itinerary has a business class with flatbed in Europe, let me know. Thank you!
P.S. Just in Europe

That would have been due to an equipment change.
The usual equipment is an A319/320, or a short haul configured 767.
OP: Turkish run a few routes with a 777 to and from Istanbul (which is pseudo-Europe I guess), to places like London. Finnair also have a few A330/40 routes from Helsinki to the Canaries and Spain, too. Some of those have lie flats.
Europe is a small place and lie flat beds aren't really necessary on most routes.

leomcarmo Welcome to the forum
Do you realise how small Europe is? The distance between many airports is small. Which is why many European aircraft are a narrow body A320 B737 type. And trains are a better option than flying for many cities.

Now, needing a flat bed, of course not. But a proper domestic/regional business class like in North America would be light years better than the half assed product nearly universally offered on the continent now.

Also, there's some debate as to whether Moscow would be considered Europe.

I believe that 321 is the BA mid haul and therefore flat bed in J.
