Linked is a photo of the new AC Business class. Now there are a few airlines doing this style of product like Virgin and NZ. Some people don't like the angle and others dont like the lack of a clear window view, though you can see out the window when the seat is reclined. My concern is something different. I nearly always travel with either one of my business partners or with my wife or wife and kids. With this style of seat you can no longer actually talk to someone else, you have privacy but you dont always want total privacy. Any views?
Would a "Skybed" type arrangement say in 2-2-1, but that actually lay flat allow for more or less seats in the same space as this AC herringbone arrangement? I notice that they are getting 24 seats in a cabin that used to hold 30 of the big old AC J class recliners.
