Fully Reclining Seats
 

Which airlines offer the fully reclining seats in first/business class?

British Airways offers those in Business Class.

Where are you flying from, and where to?

Very few domestic routes have them, but many (not all) international airlines do have lie-flat seats in First Class. In international business class, many older seats are about 170-degrees but not totally flat, and many newer ones are flat, but angled so some find them sliding down.

Few has true flat and horizontal seats in business.

My apologies, I should have asked the question rkkwan asked. If it's a flight within the US, then British Airways isn't an option.

Planning a trip from the states to Israel.

If you're flying from New York City, then you can fly non-stop on either CO (from EWR) or El Al (JFK). Continental's BusinessFirst on its 2-class 777 is a very nice product, though the seats are not completely flat.

El Al use 3-class 747-400. Don't know too much about it, except many people prefer even US airlines to El Al. From the site that Patty mentioned (www.flatseats.com), EY's C-class is not flat, and F-class is angled flat.

There are lots of connections via Europe. But 1) most Europe-TLV fligths leave late night, while US-Europe flights arrive in the morning, meaning a long layover in Europe; 2) Many airlines use intra-Europe-style narrowbody to TLV, meaning basically coach seat for that leg.

I believe BA uses 767 for LHR-TLV, together with their true-flat Atlantic business or first, and non-stops from many cities in the US to LHR, it may be a good choice, unless your flight arrives at Gatwick (LGW) instead.

Lufthansa uses A330 from FRA, so should have a real business class as well.

BA is switching from "old" Club Europe on the LHR-TLV run to New Club World beds, plus they're starting 777 service (as well as converted 767s) on that route. Thus JFK-LHR-TLV could all be in the new chairs on BA.

I've heard that LY (El Al) is looking at new business beds, but no idea on rollout dates.
