Long-haul flights come with their respective jetlag. And what better way to avoid the latter than indulging yourself in flying First Class and enjoying its luxurious amenities. In addition, it is also known for its excellent ground service (special lounges at airports and luxury transportation), personalized onboard service, and fine dining.
Unfortunately, First Class is a dying breed as more and more airlines have chosen to replace it with the more competitive business class. Furthermore, First Class is only offered on-air routes with high traffic and enough customers willing to pay for this heavenly privilege.
But don’t grieve, we have selected a list of the best airlines with First Class service.
Emirates
Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and a sleek design inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, each suite takes luxury and privacy to a new level. The soft leather seat reclines into a comfortable flatbed that can turn in a “zero gravity” position inspired by NASA technology. In addition, to ensure the best view for First Class travelers, Emirates introduced the industry’s first virtual window.
These windows project the view from outside the aircraft using real-time camera technology.
