It adds: “Photos from the filing highlight the increased space available in the first row for Business Premier Luxe passengers. The description of the accessibility process also describes a process to “remove the suite door” and flip up the ottoman to provide room to manoeuvre in the space.”

From the filing, it appears that the seats will be pitched at 45 inches and aligned at 24 degrees from the longitudinal aircraft centerline.

When flat the bed length will be 80.25 inches (204cm) and the seats will be 20.5 inches (52cm) wide.
