Guests on the new route will enjoy luxury service. A private
space with a sliding door and seats with full-flat and Zero G mode
for full relaxation greet travels in first and business.
Extra-legroom and 40-inch RECARO seats with leg rest and footrest
bar are hallmarks of premium economy. And seats built for utmost
comfort, with leather headrest and wide seat pitch, are featured in
economy. And all guests have seatback entertainment featuring 4K
