AIR INDIA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   BOEING 777-300ER

Seats don't recline 180 degrees flat, but are comfortable. IFE is a bit complicated but everyone should be able to figure it out. There is some privacy when sleeping, but not as nice as in a pod.

The seats are in a small pod so that when your seat folds flat, your head is in a private space which reduces light and noise. Used them on flights from Chicago ORD to Frankfurt FRA and then on to Delhi. Same two legs back to ORD. I agree that the controls were difficult to figure out, and business class was not full on any flights so we could all spread out.

The first impression is that the seats do not recline 180 degrees - more like 170 degrees, the recline controls are sticky and not very clear. The footrest does not seem to be fully extended. The video screen controls were something else - best not even attempted. I am yet to come across such a complicated remote system.

NYC - BOM and back in business class. The seats are wide and go flat. The upright position is complicated and seems to vertical or half way back which made for poor eating comfort. The cabin are mostly 50% full so its easy to get and empty seat along side which makes it better.

These are new seats in shells on a new long-range Boeing 777. They went completely flat and allowed for a good night's sleep. The seats are wide and stylishly upholstered, have good padding and a nice headrest, and come with a very large personal TV screen on the shell back of the seat in front. There is also a dividing panel between each seat which you can raise if you want more privacy
