13. Ethiopian Airlines: Cloud Nine (Surprising Value)

Ethiopian Airlines' "Cloud Nine" Business Class on its Dreamliners and A350s often surprises travelers with its quality relative to its price. While not as refined as top-tier carriers, their lie-flat seats offer significant comfort and privacy. Where they shine is often on pricing, providing excellent value for long-haul routes, particularly to and from Africa, with attentive service and a robust in-flight entertainment selection, making it a compelling option for the budget-conscious luxury seeker.
