Angled like sideways angled. They are full flat beds. When I first entered the cabin, the seats looked alot smaller than I had pictured. But once I sat down it was very comfy. A downside is that the footrest does not double as a seat for a dinner partner like on some other airlines. A good part about that footrest is you can put your feet up while your waiting at the gate, taxiing, etc. With the current BizElite, you'd have to have the legrest thing extended, and you can't do that untill 10K ft. Another thing is that the seat tapers off to a point just behind your head. When I lay on my back I like put put my hands under my head, but theres no room for your arms to stick out and do that. It was great to be able to sleep on my side/stomach. I slept without any disturbance for 9 straight hours. The seats were very very nice, much better than the current seats. It is not very difficult to talk to someone across the aisle from you. I was talking with a couple people while we were at the gate waiting on MTC. Now, when you end your conversation, you won't be able to get their attention again without getting up, but once you are talking, its fine. The pax behind me in the customs line said the seat was luxurious, and that he had taken Emirates J class to DXB a week ago, and the seat, service, and overall product on DL was far better.


And if I wasn't clear, I mean the seatbelt has about a footlong rigid part that doesn't flex and its about 2 inches thick, this is the airbag. It's toward the front, so a leftside window the bag is on the left, leftside aisle the bag is on the right, etc.

Very nice, very comfy seats. I can't wait to ride 1804 with the other style flatbeds. It's only going to be going to LHR. Maybe this is the time I should suck it up, pay those taxes and see London. I know the flatbeds are going to London to compete with BA, it's kind of funny though because JFK-LHR is one of the fastest TATL flights.
