Who has the widest business class seat?

Singapore Airlines Laid out in a 1–2–1 arrangement, Singapore's business-class seats feel ultra-wide, at up to 30 inches across.



In 2026, All Nippon Airways (ANA) holds the title for the widest business class seat in the world with its flagship product, "The Room." Available on their Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, the seat is so wide that it is often described as a "sofa" rather than a traditional airline seat, measuring a staggering 35 to 37.5 inches at its widest point. This is nearly double the width of many competitors and allows passengers to sit cross-legged or lounge in multiple positions. For comparison, the highly-acclaimed Qatar Airways Qsuite is about 21-22 inches wide, and Singapore Airlines offers a spacious 30-inch seat on its long-haul fleet. While "The Room" dwarfs others in terms of pure shoulder and hip room, it also features a sliding privacy door, making it one of the most secluded and comfortable environments in the sky. ANA has confirmed plans to roll out a "Room-inspired" design across more of its 787 Dreamliner fleet throughout 2026, ensuring that this record-breaking spaciousness becomes available on even more international long-haul routes.
