Business not always best. Dubai - UK they provided me with Business with Egyptair changing aircraft at Cairo. NOT recommended. Subsequent trips I chose to route non stop direct with Emirates in economy (similar cost to Business with Egyptair) - several hours quicker door to door, less chance of baggage missing the transfer, and yes EK economy was still more comfortable and less tiring (try sleeping through a few hours on the ground changing flights in Cairo). Of course Business in EK would have been better ! But normally I'd always prefer direct flights. Moral of the story - if given the chance to stipulate then make sure it is Business class in a direct flight if available.
