How the ranking works
Scores measure seat hardware and include the published age adjustment. Dining, lounges and service are outside the score. Airlines are ordered by their highest-scoring measured business cabin; ties use the typical score on tracked routes, then route coverage.
The typical score weights cabins by their shares on tracked routes. It is not a whole-fleet average or a prediction for your booking. A cabin page links to the routes where it appears; check your route for the observed equipment mix and possible variants. Airlines and cabins we have not measured are absent from this ranking.
