Re: New Business class products

Looks very nice for a 767 aircraft. I would expect that is the optimal config for getting horizontal beds into a 767 cabin width. Forward facing and horizontal only really has two options, very large pitch (like 75 inches or so) or something like SQ's new product where one passenger's feet end up beside the head of the passenger in front.

Given that such aircraft are usually operated on medium-haul flights of up to 10 hours duration (HNL-SYD is scheduled at a little over 10 hours), I would be happy with a wedgie-bed or the herringbone config on a 767 aircraft. But as usually its a matter of personal preference.

I have not travelled on a herringbone config aircraft, but my expectation is that it would be fine for single travellers but perhaps not as good for couples. The window viewing would not be a major concern to me, but I understand that it may be for some people.
