Biz Class seats from TLV
« on: January 07, 2017, 07:58:01 PM »
I am sure this has been discussed somewhere on the forum, but since I cant find the thread......

Business class to and from TLV with a stopover- I know that swiss has real business class seats, Lot Polish seems to have real lie flat seats as well, are there any other airlines that you can fly to/from TLV that both legs are REAL biz class seats, and not just an empty middle?

You can get lie flat on many airlines for the NYC leg, problem is the TLV leg - I'm assuming that's what you are referring to

I flew LOT in J out of TLV. Fake J.

Real business class exists on widebody aircraft. The only exception I have experienced to that was Transaero A"H.

TK, LX, SU and BA all fly widebody aircraft ex-TLV on SOME of their flights.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Easy.
LOT is a 737. European business. Not flat.

What is there to say?

TLV-WAW is fake J (middle seat blocked). I connected to YYZ (it was at a time when some airlines cancelled flights ex-TLV, and that was my only option to get me to NYC on time.)

I actually liked the lounge at WAW. Excellent shower, and I was able to get a good nap on the couches. Good wifi.

WAW-YYZ on 787, lie flat but daytime flight (after a nap at WAW, so couldn't really sleep). Large screen for IFE, with nothing worthwhile. All in all, couldn't wate for flight to be over.

Don't forget Air Serbia!  Pretty great reviews, too.

Most times not. Real J is only on the 787 which doesn't usually fly that  route.

What good is a lie flat seat on a 45 minutes gate to gate flight?

Fake J = same seats and pitch as Y with middle seat blocked.
Real J = a separate section on the aircraft, with different type of seats and increased pitch. (I think litmus test should be whether person seated at window can get out without disturbing person at aisle seat).
