Alaska's A330-200 business class — the ex-Hawaiian lie-flat cabin, 18 Optimares MaximaPlus seats in a straight (non-staggered) 2-2-2 layout across three rows at the front of the aircraft. Every seat converts to a fully flat bed roughly 76 inches (193 cm) long and about 20 inches (51 cm) wide. Because the rows are aligned rather than staggered, the two window seats in each row do not have direct aisle access: getting past the aisle passenger means squeezing around a tight gap, and in full bed mode the aisle passenger has to move or be stepped over. Only the centre pair has an aisle on one side for both seats. Privacy is limited — a pull-up divider separates the seats within a pair, but there are no enclosing shells or suite doors, and the cabin is notably open. Bulkhead seats (row 1) enclose the feet within the wall for a slightly more private footwell. IFE is the Panasonic eX2 system with a seatback screen, and Starlink Wi-Fi is fitted.

Strategic Seating

Best Rows
  • Centre pair (D/G) — the only business seats where both passengers get an adjacent aisle; best for solo travellers
  • Row 1 (bulkhead) for the enclosed footwell and extra space
Rows to Avoid
  • Window seats (A/K) if travelling solo — no direct aisle access; you must pass the aisle passenger, who in bed mode has to move
  • Rear business row nearest the galley and the boundary with the main cabin

How to book this cabin

Airlines may change equipment at any time. To ensure you get the A330-200 (332), always check the seat map during and after booking.

Look for these hints:

  • Look for "A330-200" or "332"
  • Open, aligned 2-2-2 lie-flat cabin — no shells or suite doors, unlike Alaska's 787-9 enclosed business suite
  • Optimares MaximaPlus seat: window passengers squeeze past the aisle seat rather than having their own aisle path
  • Ex-Hawaiian Airlines A330-200 lie-flat hardware rebranded with Alaska soft product
  • Three rows only (rows 1–3), 18 seats at the front of the aircraft
