Colleagues, need to do some frequent traveling from Germany to the Americas (mainly US and Brazil) in the coming months. Any recommendations on airlines with a decent business class? Flat seat etc.

I'm wide and sleep on Delta just fine, but the footwell in their seats is annoyingly narrow. If you are over 6' it might be tough.

I’m fond of British Airways and Emirates- both have comfortable business class lie-flats. Agree that Lufthansa is NOT comfortable

Lufthansa business class was disappointing. Seat lies flat but is so narrow there’s nowhere for your arms, making it hard to sleep. And service was at best okay. I typically avoid US carriers for international routes, but you may have to go with one.

Delta business class is fantastic

FRA to EWR on United is vastly
Improved with the advent of Polaris. I’ve switched from the Lufthansa flights after years of avoiding United flights like the plague.

United was great on 777. Was coming from Germany to NewRk then to Houston to Rio

Delta is amazing, Skyteam alliance gives you a lot of options, but the mile redemptions are less effective (lots of availability but high miles cost for award trips)

United is definitely my choice on Polaris

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here. My college sophomore found out today that he ended up with a B in his accounting class - which is remarkable, given that he received a 50 on his first exam and a 70 on his second. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.
