It’s always fun to rank The World’s Best First Class and fantasize flying them again. Today we’ll do the same for Business Class. While this list is highly subjective, we’ll share our personal rankings of our favorite Business Class experiences in the world. Here are the winners. Spoiler alert, none of the “big 3” US airlines made the list…
🏆 Emirates A380 Business Class
Nothing screams more of an occasion than flying fancy on the Emirates A380. The upper deck sky bar is a party scene straight out of a movie.
If you’re a revenue passenger, the airline even picks you up from home to take you to the airport for free as part of your Business Class experience. If you could only pick one, Emirates A380 is the business king of the sky.
🥈 ANA The Room Business Class
All Nippon Airways “The Room” is crowned the widest seat in the world for Business Class. It is so big that people often mistaken it for First Class. It makes flying with kids feel like a walk in the park.
🥉 Qatar Airways Qsuite Business Class
This has been commonly praised as an industry leading Business Class to the point that it almost cannibalizes its First Class products. Its private suites almost rivals ANA The Room.
4. Singapore Airlines Business Class
This is probably the most well-rounded Business Class in the world. The seat is ridiculously wide and its service is the perfect balance of warmth and professionalism.
5. Starlux Business Class
Its rise to the top is stratospheric considering the airline started its first flight in 2020. Since then, it has become our most frequent airline to fly Business Class to Asia.
6. Japan Airlines Business Class
The yummiest airline in the world if you like Japanese food! The airline has a convenient staggered apex seat which makes it easy for little kids since they have a nook to roam around.
This airlines has a soft spot to us personally since it was one of the only airlines that flew from Asia to America during the global pandemic. As a matter of fact, we had the entire plane to ourselves — an out of this world experience we’ll never forget.
7. China Airlines Business Class
Yours truly Chai Bear World’s grandma and grandpa loves flying to Taiwan the most with this airline. Its top tier Emerald/Paragon status are treated like royalty, which is totally the aura of what Chai Bear likes.
8. EVA Air Royal Laurel Business Class
It’s amazing how there are three stellar Taiwan airlines that make it to the top ten. EVA Air serves some of the most expensive champagnes in the sky for its Business Class passengers. Their Hello Kitty plane for example serves the Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé, which retails for $300+ USD/bottle.
9. Cathay Pacific Business Class
I’ll always remember Cathay Pacific as the first airline I’ve ever experienced flying Business Class. What feels like basic necessities in 2025 felt the utmost luxury when I first flew it back in 2011! I played with the armrest for a good half hour
It is also the last infant flight Chloe took before she turned 2 years old.
10. Korean Air Business Class
Finally we can’t forget about Korean Air. The playful flight attendants when Chloe was an infant made it so easy to fly across the Pacific. There was definitely no K-drama worries on these flights.
There you have it, the winners of the World’s Best Business Class. Overall some of these experiences are so amazing that sometimes you even start to question if First Class is even necessary. With First Class so expensive these days, this is a list you can strongly consider for good value for your miles.
What’s your favorite Business Class? Love to hear your thoughts 😘
