Business Class
US Airways is introducing its new Business Class (Envoy Suite) in a unique 1-2-1 reverse herringbone design seating. The redesigned cabin layout allows each Envoy customer to face forward and away from the aisle in a fully lie-flat, 180° recline seat with direct aisle access. Bed length ranges from a comfortable 6’4” to 6’8” in length depending on the Suite’s location in the cabin. The seat is 20.5 inches wide and a fully adjustable, drop-down armrest provides an additional five inches when sleeping. With nearly three-and-a-half feet across, Business Class passengers can take advantage of generous personal space by using either the raised side table or easy-access tray table. Larger personal belongings such as laptop cases can be stowed beneath the ottoman. Another convenient feature is a technology panel with an adjustable personal reading light, power outlet for laptops, USB port for charging small electronics and a dual satellite telephone/entertainment controller. Each Envoy Suite comes with a new video on demand (AVOD) in-flight entertainment system with a 12.1”, adjustable, touch-screen monitor, offering hours of entertainment. The entire A330 fleet will be equiped with the new Envoy Suite by summer 2012.
