Business class on this aircraft offers a choice of 61 Prestige seats with a 60-inch pitch. They are configured 2-3-2 downstairs (A,B - D,E,F - H,J)  and 2-2 upstairs (A,B - H,J).

Upstairs is always preferable as there are less people and the engine noise is quieter. Here, row 19 is the exit, although it can be cold by the door. The first row, behind the cockpit, may be the best option if you do not want to be disturbed.

From a recent review ...

"The seat is made of turquoise cloth within a cream shell. In the back of the pair of seats in front is a magazine rack, the screen, further storage for papers and books and at floor level a little more storage suitable for shoes and a carrier bag, laptop etc.
The controls for the seat are in the outer arm rest.  All parts of the seat are adjustable and there are three presets. In the centre arm is the tray table, AV controls, power (although a UK adaptor is required) and a storage area for small items. Between the seats there is also a reading light and small privacy screen.  Although this was a day flight I did try and sleep for a bit. You can either recline the seat to almost horizontal (170 degrees) or use it cradle style. As I kept sliding down the seat and my weight on the metal footrest was painful I found sleeping in the cradle position more comfortable."
