A business class flight from Paris to Cancun takes 10 hours and 50 minutes, when flying direct. Flights with 1 or 2 stops will add travel time to the trip.
Ideally, a direct / non stop flight is the ideal situation for most people. However, there can be benefits of taking a flight with a stopover.
The first item to check is for the total flight duration. Depending on the airline and the connecting airport, a stopover can be as short a 90 minutes. When the savings is thousands of dollars, many times a connection is worth considering.

Types of Business Class

Cheap European Business Class
Many Europeans already know, the business class on flights between countries in the European Union is simply a coach / economy seat, with the middle seat blocked.
That is not worth much, as during Covid-19, many airlines blocked the middle seat for free.
Domestic American Business Class
When flying in the continental United States, you flight can be as long as 6 hours, or as short as 30 minutes. Major Airlines have recently upgraded their planes, along with special names for Business Class.
Each airline has their own unique names for the various class of service. JetBlue makes it simple with their Mint Class.
Delta on the hand offers: Delta One, Delta Premium Select, First Class, Delta Comfort Plus. Which one of those is actually the business class you are looking for?
International Business Class
When traveling across the ocean, many people assume they will be getting a lie flat seat in business class. This is not always the case. Many airlines are still flying planes with business class seats that are not fully flat.
An airline like Etihad offers a world class Business Class, with unique seating configurations for couples and single travelers. Their cabins offer seats in both directions, so that you are not tripping over your neighbors feet.
It is very important to consult with your travel coordinator, to be sure you are getting the business class experience you are expect.
