Lovers of flat beds in business class will be happy to know that Taipei-based EVA Air is installing new, flat seats on nearly all the aircraft that it sends to the U.S. The first planes upgraded will be those flying the long New York–Taipei route, beginning on June 2. By the end of August, all aircraft flying to and from New York will have the seats. L.A. will see flat beds in its Taipei-bound planes by the end of this year, and San Francisco will follow next year. For now, that leaves Seattle as the lone domestic destination without a clear transition plan; it will continue to have the old seats for the foreseeable future.
The seats themselves are in the "reverse herringbone" arrangement, which means they angle away from the aisle slightly. This provides better views out the window and easier conversations with those in the middle; they're similar to the seats that US Airways flies today on its A330 aircraft.
