1China Airlines Business Class · 777-300ER · what you see is what you get
9.7 China Airlines outfits its 777-300ERs with 40 Collins Aerospace Super Diamond seats laid out in a single 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone cabin across 10 rows. Every seat angles toward the window or the centerline aisle, giving direct aisle access without a privacy door. The seat converts to a fully lie-flat bed at 78 inches (198 cm) of pitch with a seat width near 28 inches (~71 cm). Each suite includes a personal HD touchscreen IFE, AC and USB power, an adjustable reading light, and a side console with stowage. Cabin finishes lean Taiwanese-modern, with custom textiles and accent trim distinguishing CAL's Super Diamond install from other carriers using the same shell.
