Comparing Trans Pacific Business Class


Yesterday's Trip Report covered my recent V Australia's Business Class trip between Brisbane, Australia and Los Angeles, USA. Today, I compare the various Business Class offerings of all the trans Pacific carriers. I chose a travel date of of 12th October from Sydney to LAX and travel back 19th October to find pricing. Hawaiian had the cheapest business class fares for those dates.

I have ranked the airlines from Best Business Class on the Australian -US route (V Australia) through to the worst on this sector (United). This is based on  both my experience and reviews by others. Happy to be challenged! Or have comments. What have been your long haul Business Class experiences?
