Emirates Business Class 777-300ER

Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER in business class is equipped with angle-flat seats in a 2-3-2 configuration. While this is not the most modern configuration, this does allow easy access to your travelling companions during the flight. As such, for couples and solo travellers, we would recommend taking seats next to the windows, whereas groups of 3 would be best in the middle seats. Onboard, you can expect high levels of service from Emirates, along with a comprehensive dining experience and an exhaustive selection of entertainment options. Other additions include a well-stocked amenity kit as well as a mattress topper to ensure a restful sleep.

Qantas Business Class Airbus A330

You’ll be travelling aboard a Qantas Airbus A330 in Business class. These are lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. For a solo traveller on the Qantas A330, we would recommend seats A or K and for couples we would recommend middle seats E & F.

The seats are very comfortable, including an in-seat massage feature. For food and drink service you should be offered a welcome drink prior to take-off, followed by a meal service which typically includes a range of delicious options to choose from including a small entrée option, main course and dessert.
