Which is the best airline to fly from Europe to Asia in Business Class? I have picked Qatar Airlines for their new First style Business Class suite (pictured above), Etihad Airlines, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Cathay Pacific.
Long-haul Business Class flights represent only 15% of long-haul seats globally, but this is the most lucrative airline cabin.
The Middle Eastern carriers tend to offer the best Business Class and are my top choices. These include Qatar, which has recently introduced a First Class on their A380 (with onboard shower!).
Singapore Airlines is exceptional and comes in 4th on my list. The airline offers the widest Business Class seats in the world with direct aisle access in a 1-2-1 forward-facing cabin layout, and the food is restaurant-style and specially created by celebrated chefs.
If you are traveling into Japan, Japan Airlines is a good choice with their excellent JAL Sky Suites or pods, and if you are traveling out of the UK, British Airways Club World is always convenient for the sheer number of flights that go to Asia from the UK and also for their excellent British Airways airport lounges.

Review: Etihad Business Class On The A380
In this review, I look at Etihad's Business Class product on the A380 from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow. This was, in fact, the second leg of a two-part Etihad journey that started in Hong Kong. You can also read our review of the Hong Kong to Abu Dhabi in Etihad Business Class. You can read all my Etihad flight reviews in Business Class to get a clearer picture of the product.

Singapore Airlines Long Haul Business Class Flight Reviews
Luxury Travel Diary's writers have flown Singapore Airlines many times and reviewed their long-haul Business Class flights. Our trip reports can be found below. Singapore Airlines has a prestigious reputation, offering great service, delicious food, excellent in-flight entertainment, and the always smiling Singapore air hostess. Singapore Airlines currently has 13 A350-900 aircraft in its fleet, with another 56 on order, including seven ultra-long-haul A350-900ULR variants.
Cathay Pacific Long Haul Business & First Class Flight Reviews
Members of Luxury Travel Diary have flown with Cathay Pacific a number of times and have reviewed their long-haul flights in First, Business Class, and most recently, Premium Economy. My trip reports can be found below. Cathay Pacific also features in the top 10 best business class airlines in the world. Locating the most appropriate Cathay Pacific lounge within terminal 1 can be quite a challenge and somewhat confusing, as the airline operates a number of lounges at its hub (7 in total), all with different names (e.g., The Wing, The Pier, The Bridge, and The Cabin).
