Boeing 747-8 Business Class, Ranked

3 cabins · 3 airlines · scored from measured seat metrics

CabinScore has scored 3 airlines flying the 747-8, and the business class inside them is not the same product. The airframe sets the fuselage width and therefore how much room a seat can have; the airline decides everything else. Below is every 747-8 business cabin CabinScore has measured, ranked — other airlines fly the type without being in the catalogue yet.

How These Are Scored

Every cabin on this page is scored from the same measured metrics: seat width, bed length, recline, direct aisle access, privacy, and how much fuselage width each seat gets. Nothing here is a review score. The best 747-8 business class we score is 8.1/10.

Aircraft type is a useful filter and a bad guarantee. Knowing your flight is a 747-8 narrows the possibilities; it does not settle them, because a retrofit programme can put two generations of seat on the same registration list — and this ranking only covers airlines already in our catalogue. Look up your specific flight to see which cabin is likely.
