Each Business Class seat is equipped with 110V universal power port, located in the center console between the seats.

For those vertically challenged such as myself, there is a handy build-in step to help access the overhead bins.

The seat-back mounted AVOD (Audio Video On Demand) screen has a decent range of tilt adjustment, very useful when the passenger in front of you recline their seat.

Row 4 is my least favorite row, since it is just ahead of the first coach row. When the seat is reclined, it is intruding into the space of the coach passenger.

When personal items are stowed at the first coach row, the footspace for passengers in this row is especially tight.

The middle passenger's video screen is on a arm, notice that there is a large gap into the last row of Business class.

When the cabin curtain is finally in place, the aisle seat passengers might be bothered by the hanging curtain over their legs.

The AVOD screen is hidden by the curtains when they are in place.

The passenger will have to jerry-rig the curtain out of the way in order to view the screen.

Leg space for the row is okay, but notice the trays are in non-moveable arm-rests. Also the curtain is hanging off the head-rest of the Business class seats as the seat is reclined. This last row in Business class probably should be avoided if possible.

On today's flight, most Business Class passengers are in the first two rows.

...with the exception of a lone passenger in the last row window seat.

Even though the flight from San Francisco to Vancouver is only a little over two hours, we were still served a decent snack.
