FlyDubai Unveils 737 MAX Business Suite With Door

Why do you guys who write pieces on airline travel nearly always stick to Business and First-Class passengers? Do you get a kickback from the airlines to tout their way too expensive medthods of transport? How about more articles for the majority of people traveling back in sardine class?
Such things as cheapest tickets, best seats, crudiest food, etc., would all help we economic mortals.

Looks super compact...

Tell me you have no idea how Ben’s business works, without saying you have no idea how Ben’s business works.

I mean, economy seats are mostly the same worldwide. The differentiation between airlines in biz and first is usually the biggest. I guess a review of economy food would be different between airlines but none of it will be that interesting to the hobbyists who are the most ardent readers of this blog.

I would bet that this is also the product we see installed on the subfleet of 737 MAX 10s United plans to operate premium transcon routes with.

Why do people like you post ignorant comments like this without first bothering to understand what the blog is about?

Yeppers.

@Cedric - that was my first impression, very small.

@R.S. Rose:
You should definitely start a blog that covers aspects of flying that these blogs don't cover. I'm sure there is a huge market out there for such content. You might even call your blog One Sardine at a Time.

I wonder why this seat model isn't more popular on narrow bodies. While reverse herringbone seats have been way more popular than herringbone seats on wide body business class for some time, this strangely hasn't been the case on narrow bodies for a while, even after the recent push towards direct aisle access from every seat. For instance, I find it perplexing why JetBlue chose a herringbone seat instead of a reverse herringbone seat for their transatlantic Mint product. It seems most people, including Ben, strongly prefer reverse herringbone seats over herringbone seats mainly because you face the windows.

This looks like the only airline seat in the world that is not straight across, which would be very uncomfortable. No doubt this "cutout" was made to squish the seats closer together and still allow you to get to the seat without climbing over it, but having a longer seat under one of my legs than the other sounds bad.

If you find QSuites claustrophobic, good luck flying this lolzies

@GBOAC

That sounds like a blog about fishing boat deckhand's adventures and some fishing boat reviews.

Try TikTok.

I'm curious about FlyDubai route structure. Are there enough long routes (5 or more hours) that an enclosed suite with lie flat seats are that important.

Finally something positive about the 737! While I think the 737 airframe should have been retired years ago, at least someone's still trying to do something positive with this clunker. Alas, I do not expect we'll see such seats on a U.S. airline anytime soon.

@lucky on this note, can't recall if this has been discussed or determined yet but what is United planning to replace its domestic 752 fleet with and what kind of lie-flats should we expect there?

My reaction as well. Based on the renderings, I'd be very nervous about the comfort level in upright or reclined position with the corner of the seat cushion clipped like that. Could be very awkward.

What a cramped seat, ouch. The 737 is simply too narrow of a plane.

I just have one question, this will affect the capacity of passengers on planes? will have the planes the same capacity of seats?

I'm now pretty confused as basically flydubai has a better hard product than Emirates when this new seat is installed.

That ingress and egress looks mighty tight from the top down view! If the seat is only 20.5" wide, then the opening looks to be only 15".

This is the most Dubai thing I have ever seen. Relentless hype, no consistency, 90% of every hyped building, attraction, development etc. never gets delivered, or if it does get delivered, the quantity is so low that it is effectively irrelevant. Not knocking Dubai but it gets old after you have seen it for last 10+ years.

If it's replacing the Thompson Aerospace Vantage seat, then there will be no decrease in number of seats, but if it's replacing their recliners, there should be a decrease.

I think this new seat will definitely go on their Max-9 and/or MAX-10. The MAX-8 might end up with only recliners from HAECO released in 2021

It's not about the length here. They're a hybrid carrier, treat business class as business class (very premium) and economy as economy(still better than LCC and ULCC)

They're just positioning there products better for their premium members, to rival more the likes of Qatar airways.

@R. S. Rose There are such blogs. Try googling for economy class and beyond or something like that.
