1. British Airways Club Suite (A350) — 9.2/10. The closing door and White Company bedding make this the best hard product across the Atlantic. 2. Air France Business (A350) — 9.0/10. The dining and wine program are unmatched. Michelin-starred cuisine at altitude. 3. Virgin Atlantic Upper Class (A330neo) — 8.7/10. The Clubhouse lounge and social cabin create a unique experience. 4. Delta One (A330neo) — 8.6/10. The most consistent US carrier product with a solid seat and Delta One lounge. 5. Lufthansa Allegris (A350) — 8.5/10. The new suite is a massive improvement. Frankfurt lounge network is excellent. 6. United Polaris (B787) — 8.3/10. The Polaris lounge at Newark is outstanding. The seat is comfortable but the cabin shows wear. 7. American Airlines Flagship (B777-300ER) — 8.2/10. Solid all-rounder with good Flagship lounge access. 8. JetBlue Mint (A321LR) — 8.0/10.
