Airlines With Flat Seats in First Class

Upgrading to First Class travel when you fly means you can expect creature comforts the folks back in coach can only dream about. You know you’re going to get a bigger seat, you know that seat will recline further than the seats in coach, and you know you’ll get better food in First Class. But if the simple perks aren’t enough and you want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth, then you’ll want to do your homework and figure out which airlines have flat seats in First Class.

The thing you’ll find out quickly is that not all airlines offer flat seats in First Class. It’s a growing trend, so you’ll find flat seats in First Class much more often these days, but if it’s important to you that you not just be in a lie-flat position but that you also be horizontal to the floor for maximum comfort, then this list should help.

Below you’ll find a list of airlines with flat seats in First Class. If we’re missing an airline from this list, please let us know in the comments below. Airlines listed in italics don’t offer flat seats in all aircraft. (Some other airlines may not offer flat seats in all cabin configurations as well, so if you see an airline below that’s not in italics that should be, please let us know that, too.)
