The business seats on a plane make more money than the economy seats. However, there aren't lines where you can fill a whole plane of business: economy is there

The business seats on a plane make more money than the economy seats. However, there aren't lines where you can fill a whole plane of business: economy is there mostly to fill up space
- namdnay 9y agoThere are some, but they're very rare. One example is the BA shuttle between London City and New York - only business. I believe there is a French airline doing a "cheap business" Paris-New York as well.
- mpweiher 9y agoAlso the new Boom supersonic jet is intended to be all business class seats (around 60, IIRC).
- ghaff 9y agoI'm not holding my breath for any of these supersonic jet projects to come to market. But, if they do, I expect the nominally "business" or "first" class seating will be more like domestic business today than typical international business class--as was the case with the Concorde.
- markonen 9y agoThat’s Boom’s business plan explicitly. Cut down the flight time to a couple of hours and you don’t need to offer a bed, making the per seat cost comparable.
- dillondoyle 9y agoLa Compagnie! I really like them the couple times I've flown. For the price it's really great value. Worst part is the NYC airpot 'lounge' Not the fanciest interior/seat but the food and service were great when I've flown.

- isostatic 9y agoQatar operate a small business only A319 from Doha to London once a day, or did when I took it two years ago. I preferred the a350 and 787 flights which are 1-2-1 rather than 2-2, but for a 7 hour day flight it wasnt too bad. It was half empty though, not a great use of a Heathrow slot.
- jsjohnst 9y agoSingapore Airlines used to have an all business flight to NYC, but it’s been phased out.
- smachiz 9y agoIt's coming back in 2018 with a A350-900 ULR with only Business and Premium Economy, no Economy seats.
