Reverse Herringbone Business Class Seat
These seats are easily comparable with First Class suites and are called to be the best Business Class seats ever. Reverse Herringbone seats offer enhanced privacy and enough personal space. Moreover, there are no bad seats, thanks to a super-smart configuration. Every seat has direct aisle access and is private, unlike some other configurations, where you may end up seated in a “honeymoon” seat with a stranger. This type is the best one for single travelers wishing to get maximum privacy.
