I'm intrigued (I'm 6' 5") - is that Swiss business or first class, and is the bed a proper one that lies flat? (= when fully reclined, these seats are completely horizontal, creating a bed that is fully flat). If so, it sounds rather attractive.

Are the wines Swiss? (I am a fan of their excellent wines, and write this from Lake Bodensee).

Contrary to Mr Mac's experience, the EK business class on the flights to/from Perth has been slightly less happy, with the seats only reclining rather than making a flat bed. At least there were plenty of passengers crowded shoulder to shoulder in business class so there was always someone to talk to during the flight. That was a couple of years ago (after which I stopped flying them) and it may have changed recently.
