Since October 1, 2000 Northwest Airlines started converting its business class seats to provide you with 55% more leg room, improved recline and a host of other enhancements. World Business Class passengers will enjoy 60 inches or more of personal space in business class. This is 12 inches more than the current seats, and 5-12 inches more than that of other airlines flying from China to North America. The angle of recline will increase to 150 degrees, enhancing sitting and sleeping comfort.
