Hi Ricky. You have commented tangentially on the Stelia Opal business class seats being good for long haul flights that are not too long. Do you have an airline review where you comment on this kind of business class seat? I have to choose whether to take a Turkish flight that uses these seats or the older style ones used on the 777 ER300
Here’s my review of the Turkish 787 business class (it’s also linked in the article):

It’s a natural trade-off between the 787 and the older 777/A330 seats, depending on whether you prefer privacy and direct aisle access, or more open space to move around.
I continue to be blown away by the efforts (and the creativity!) that Aeroplan injected into their new program. They could have simply devaluated and kept things the same (as many airlines do). Instead they are really reinventing a new world of possibilities for us. Very impressed!
You and me both!
