Hainan Airlines Business Class

Airline overview

Hainan Airlines is China's only Skytrax 5-star carrier with an excellent 787 business class product. Direct routes from US cities to Chinese destinations beyond Beijing and Shanghai make them uniquely valuable.

The business class experience

Hainan Airlines Business Class features Lie-flat reverse herringbone with direct aisle access. Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Hainan Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via 17-inch touchscreen. Dining on Hainan Airlines: Chinese and Western cuisine, premium Chinese teas. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Hainan Airlines VIP Lounge (PEK). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at US airports. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Hainan Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say
