China Air, Thai Air, or Eva Air Business Class to BKK

I have flown to Bkk several times but always in economy and I am now able to afford business class and would like to know what people think. I know the least about China Air's Dynasty Class I have flown all these airlines in economy but never business. I have gone to the websites and looked but China seems to have the least info. I would be flying out of Houston on China and Lax the others.
Thanks to everyone for the imput

You've said that you want to fly business class, but you might also be interested in premium economy products (a splurge but a more affordable splurge than business class). I think Eva and Thai have premium economy on a limited number of routes, either out of LAX or New York.

EVA air in economy from SFO really sucks. They do have a premium economy that only costs a bit more and seems to be pretty good, with less seats per row.

Everything I've read about their business class has been pretty bad. Mostly the complaints were about the lack of service, which is rampant throughout the plane.

NWA has flat-bed(angled) seats in biz class from LAX-NRT-BKK which are pretty comfy. I've been getting good biz class fares from a consolidator.

British Airways does have flat (not angled) business seats, but a few people on this site don't like them because half the seats face the back of the plane. In my opinion, it makes sense since the upper part of the body needs more room then the bottom part of the body.

For my next trip to BKK we're going business class & first class on British Air, Wally I don't care if I face backwards, it's all about the comfort. On our last trip to BKK we flew Korean Air business class. It was very comfortable, angled lie-flat seats, with great service. Might want to look at them as well.

Of all the three, I think China Airlines' Dynasty Class is the best bet.

How is China Airlines Dynasty Class anyway? I don't know anyone who's taken them and their fares are usually pretty good.

Thai airways hands down. Their service is great. I agree with the previous post - consider Premium Economy.
