Comfort and flexibility at your fingertips

So that you can enjoy your flight with South African Airways with all your senses. For this reason, this airline offers you the Business experience with the highest levels of quality of service and well-being.

Business class seats on South African Airways aircraft are located in the first six rows of the cabin. The seats are very comfortable and can recline 180º, allowing you to sleep during a long flight. Business class is fairly quiet. Passengers traveling in business class eat earlier than in economy class, their menu is more varied and more drinks are offered (non-alcoholic and alcoholic). However, this also has its drawbacks. In the 1st row, it is near the cupboard, the kitchen and the toilets. But there’s also a bonus here – plenty of legroom and the front row gets food first. Rows 5 and 6 can cause some discomfort due to the proximity of the noisy economy class.

The seats are hand-stitched extra soft leather and can be fully reclined to become a bed. The central units have a divider panel that can be raised completely, in the middle or pulled out depending on the privacy you want, also converting into a double bed.

18 ′ inch screen, hundreds of entertainment options, powerful wi-fi and a service to personalize meals by choosing in advance from an excellent selection of dishes and meals served on board.
