I've only flown business class once, and that was in a crappy 20-year-old B738 belonging to a Russian charter airline, but 2.25 seems about right. It depends on the size of the aircraft though - economy class on a 737 vs a 777 would be roughly the same size, but while a business class seat in a 737 is just sort of wider, longer, and...fatter/softer (?) than economy, in a 777 it is more likely to be a booth with a full lie-flat unfolding seat, more storage space, a bigger screen, etcetera. Depends on the airline really. This sort of thing is probably not worth simulating though...

What we could do later on down the road is let users choose a seat type for each class. That would change the amount of seat slots each class takes up instead of it being static. So you'd have something like:
Basic economy seat - same as now, 1 slot per seat. Limited recline, small width, etc.
Standard economy seat - slightly nicer, 1.1 or 1.2 slots per seat. More recline, wider, etc.
Superior economy seat - much nicer, 1.3 or 1.4 slots per seat. Most recline, wider, etc.
And you would have those 3 options for every class. Then the reputation factor would take into account seat type as well.
