Middle East Airlines Business Class

Airline overview

Middle East Airlines (MEA) is Lebanon's flag carrier and a SkyTeam member. Cedar Class offers a warm Lebanese experience with gourmet Levantine cuisine and direct service from major hubs.

The business class experience

MEA Cedar Class features Lie-flat angled (A330). Seat width is 20.5 inches and fully extended bed length is 76 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Middle East 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 15-inch touchscreen. Dining on Middle East Airlines: Lebanese gourmet cuisine, premium wines. 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: Cedar Lounge (BEY). At other airports worldwide: SkyTeam partner lounges worldwide. 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, Middle East 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

“Authentic Lebanese hospitality and outstanding food. SkyTeam membership means good lounge access. Solid value for Beirut and Levant travel.”
