Star Alliance Round The World Ticket Portfolio
“This is Oneworld’s entry level Economy Class Round The World ticket with a low 26,000 mile limit and an equally low 5 stopovers, of which only two are permitted in any region. In almost all cases, as long as you are prepared to take indirect flights, you can construct your own Round The World itinerary using one way fares and undercut the LGLOB26.”

In a product which tends to shock non-Europeans, on the majority of flights within Europe operated by British Airways, Finnair and Iberia, Business Class is simply a curtained-off section of Economy Class seats with the middle seat left unsold and sometimes covered with a table. This arrangement allows airlines to adjust the size of the cabin simply by moving the curtain which divides the Business and Economy Class cabins forward or backwards. Business Class on these services does feature a Business Class catering service.

Business Class Angled Lie Flat Seats were a development of the Recliner Seat, though typically with a seat pitch of around 60″ and a recline of around 170% into a flat surface. So while your body is not bent at the hip or knee you are effetively lying on a hill.

Flat Bed Seat
Traditional Arrangement.

Flat Bed seats in this traditional arrangement were a development of the Angled Lie Flat seat. Within Oneworld these feature on certain Qatar Airways Boeing 737-300ER (Types 77N and 77I) aircraft.
The full Flat Bed seat was pioneered by British Airways and not comes in a bewildering array of arrangements as airlines try to fit as many seats as possible into their aircraft real estate and manufacturers try to satisfy that requirement without infringing each others’ copyright.
Yin Yang Arrangement

Used solely by British Airways and only now featuring on certain Boeing 777-200ER, 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft. This arrangement does not offer direct aisle access for every passenger but is quite good if travelling with children.
