We do not have all the means to travel in business. So even if you want to take the eco class by plane, on a long letter , as much to know which are the most friendly companies with their travelers. And it is precisely this top 10 of the best eco classes that the site AirlineRatings.com, specializing in aerial rankings, has just revealed. First observation: while more than 400 companies are borrowed and judged by the editors of Airlineratings.com, no French or even European company appears in the top 10 for the eco class. On the other hand, Air France is in the list of the top 10 "Business" and even in the top 10 "Premium Economy".

The ranking was deliberately given in alphabetical order by AirlineRatings.com. Nevertheless, the editors of the site also give their opinion. Who gets away with a hand?

- Air New Zealand (which proposes to transform rows into bunks ...)

- Etihad (who has nannies to take care of the children ...)

- Singapore (for its generous meals and self-service snacks ...)

On what criteria should the eco class be judged?

First on the space offered to the passengers and on the possible inclination of the seat (the longer you can lie, the better). There is no question of traveling for 12 hours or more with the knees going up to the chin. But an eco "top" class also includes services: regular meals, drinks, entertainment such as movies on individual screens, as well as blankets and pillows to rest during the flight. Some services available, but extra, also help propel airlines into this envied ranking, including the WI-FI.
