Suites (first class)

The airline is indeed halving the total number of seats in suites from 12 to just six, which have been relocated to the front of the plane on the upper deck. Sliding doors enclose each of the suites (which are configured in three rows of 1-1), and each suite has a separate leather swivel chair (with a 45-degree recline) as well as a 76-inch-long bed (with bedding by Lalique), which can be stowed.

The chair itself is operated using a touch panel in the left armrest, with swivel control and other functions, such as cabin crew assistance, adjusting the blinds and operating the 32-inch HD screen. Couples can join their beds and suites together to make a double bed, though there is a divide that can be raised during take-off, landing and taxing if you’re not quite that close to your neighbour.
