You can view the planes, the lounges, the seats, and most importantly the food.
* I stopped over at Zurich for few hours
Hardware
Flying business class, I'd argue hardware (Seats, Monitor Size, Airplanes, etc...) are the most important thing. This theory is further confirmed after my trip
- Lie-flat seat makes a big difference for sleeping (and 170 or 175 degree angled-flat seats are not as close to 180-lie-flat as one would think
- I want my TV screen to be as large as possible, Touchable too despite being far away
- AC's business class hardware, despite installed in 2007, is still good. It was the only aircraft with separate air nozzle per seat so you can adjust temperature.
- Singapore airline and SWISS have great and attractive business classes also. Large screens
- Thai's Business Class is just money spent without any detail. Lying down to sleep at an angle is annoying
- ANA is your standard old short-haul seat.Cannot lie down
Average hardware can be saved by superb service, and vice versa
- Great services - Air Canada, Singapore Airlines. They were friendly, attentive, and ask if you need anything or photos taken :)
- Okay to Good services - ANA, Swiss Air. They were friendly and did what the should do
- Never mind - Thai Airways
Lounges
Whatever flies in the air gets complemented with lounges on the ground. For my trip- Thai's Bangkok lounge & spa is the best
- Singapore's Taipei lounge has the best food
- ANA's Tokyo lounge is huge, half-crowded with a view, and the noodle bar was the highlight
- Air Canada's Toronto/Montreal lounge are okay, some hot food but nothing to write about
- Thai's Singapore lounge is tiny and sad, while SWISS' Zurich lounge is huge but completely crowded and uncomfortable.
