  It does look nice – same layout as LX business, which I enjoyed (apart fromthe ssmall foot cubby on the singleseats). Hope you have a good trip, any plans to pop your recent Air Berlin TR up soon, I’d be interested to hear how it went!

    The airberlin report is written, just waiting for a spot when there is no time sensitive stuff to run instead. Possibly this weekend.

      Great, thanks Raffles – looking forward to it 😀 (although my planned trip with them may get switched to a BA A380 trip instead!)

    Is there less leg room on the single seats than on the twin once ?

    • Don says:

      No. The seats are essentially the same as the LX ones, albeit refreshed. For a solo traveller the single ones would be best.

        If they’re the same as the LX ones (and they look it), then personally I wouldn’t go fo the single seat that has tables on both sides (aka Captain Kirk seat!) – they cubbyhole for your feet is really quite small and when fully reclined I found it quite uncomfortable. I’d go for one of the other seats that has a bit more space for your feet – it’s not the length that’s the issue, it’s the constricted amount of room to move that I found difficult. I’m not alone in thinking this either – see Lucky’s trip report (http://boardingarea.com/blogs/onemileatatime/2013/01/29/first-impressions-of-brussels-airlines-business-class/) – about halfway through he’s got a photo of it.

          Isn’t the cubbyhole the same size as the double seat one (which is very small, agreed)? I thought the only difference was the extra “desk space” of the Captain Kirk seat.

          Hi Don – my impression from Lucky’s review and others that I’ve read was that the foot cubby space was better for the other seats and was particularly constained in this one. Ironic given that on LX only *G or equivalent are able to pre–select these seats!

  I have to say, it’s nice to finally see airlines like Austrian and Iberia up their game on their hard premium product. It will be interesting to see what KLM will bring to the table as one of the last remaining EU legacy carriers not to have gone flat in the bedroom department!

  Looks like the new BA 321 midhaul flights to the middle east , far away from the normal BA club world but not to bad .

  how much did they pay you 😉

  • Rob says:

    8 Mar8 March 09:33

    It is worth less than £5! I was going to write about it anyway, honestly.

  I’ve never flown Austrian but will bear it in mind in the future. Advertising DOES work (a little; sometimes) 🙂

  I cant see the video..

  • Don says:

    Ad Block blocks the video. Pause Ad Block and refresh and you should see it.

  Odd video – highlighting the things people are forced to do when some seats don’t have direct aisle access!

  But to be honest I do like like that seat product, I’ve not tried it with Austrian, I do like it on Swiss, so good to know Austrian have it….
