How does business class compare to economy class in PIA?
Re: Economy & Business class differences in PIA
seems like no one uses PIA. :(
Depends on several things including which plane you are flying in and whether you are flying domestic or international. I prefer business for international travel for several reasons:
1. bathrooms are clean and you usually don't have to wait in line.
2. Business class is usually less noisy. unless the free riders upgrade for free and bring their 6 bratty kids along the way (have had a bad experience with those kinds)
3. the seats are roomy. I believe my last plane was 777 or one of the newer ones, but the seats became beds and had excellent lumber support.
4. More food options
5. flight attendants are more courteous and friendly probably because they don't have to deal with 200 people.
6. Can't complain about the free CDs and travel pouches.
7. Adjacent seats are not joined, have separate arm rests and are mostly spaced out (this also depends on which plane you are flying by)This is very important for me during long journeys , because in economy you can be stuck with fidgety ppl who can't keep their limbs to themselves or insist on taking up half your seat.
I guess it really matters what's most important for you. Back in 2003, I flew on a really old plane from Toronto to Lahore. The seats in business class definitely had more leg room but were hardly more comfortable and there was no personal entertainment system so essentially there was one huge screen at the front of my section. I was kinda annoyed coz I felt like I'd wasted my money.. anyways check which plane you'll be flying before making your call.
