Fully Lie-Flat Luxury on Airbus A380, Boeing 787, and New 777-300ER
Thai Airways’ latest planes have fully lie-flat seats in Business Class that recline 180 degrees to create an airborne bed. The seats also boast 20-23 inch widths and a pitch of up to 87 inches – meaning there’s plenty of room to stretch out and relax.

Angled Lie-Flat Comfort on Older Boeing 777 Models & Other Aircraft

Need to relax or work? No problem: the seats also have adjustable settings for those who want maximum comfort in any position.
That’s not all, though. On all planes, you will find power outlets plus USB connections along with an in-seat entertainment system that offers hundreds of hours of movies, television programs, audio selections, games, and more.
Reclining Comfort on Airbus A320 (Regional Routes)
