[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the Middle Eastern airlines (Ethihad, Qatar, Emirates) do a really nice job with their business and first class. WAY better than European carriers. I have heard similar about the likes of Singapore airlines, but haven't had a chance to fly with them. If at all possible, when we travel internationally, we try to fly business on one of the Middle Eastern airlines.[/quote]
Middle Eastern > Asian > European > America in terms of quality.[/quote]

Not always true. Lot of variation in product. Emirates business on some of their 777s isn't even lie flat, for example.[/quote]
It’s a generalization so of course you have variation within each group but it’s generally accurate. I wouldn’t put Air India and ANA in the same class and even within airlines you’ll have very different configurations.[/quote]

At this point, in general, I would put the US airlines above the average European airline in terms of international business class quality.  Every US carrier pretty much has aisle access in all their long haul planes.  BA and Lufthansa do not at all (the 2-4-2 business on the BA A380 is a joke).  Air France is better than any of the US airlines, Swiss about the same, Iberia a bit worse, TAP and Aer Lingus definitely worse.[/quote]
