The seats are located in a separate cabin, just after Business Premier with only 21 seats (for Dreamliner Boeing 787-9). They are customized with comfortable ink-coloured leather armchairs with generous armrests, a leg rest and extendable foot support. The armchair can be adjusted with more recline and footrest to provide maximum stretch-out and comfort for passengers.
