These Luxury Air Travel Options Take First Class to a Whole New Level
Celebrity Chef Meals with Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways offers connections between Europe and the far east, and is renowned for its Arabian hospitality. First-class travelers not only enjoy extra spacious cabins, but an outstanding dining menu created by Nobu Matshuhisam, a celebrity chef and restaurateur famous for his fusion fare that blends traditional Japanese dishes with Peruvian ingredients.
The unforgettable meals are paired with award-winning vintages that are personally selected by master of wine, James Cluer.
An 8-Point Massage Chair with Jet Airways
If you choose a first-class suite on Jet Airways, you’ll get 26-square-feet of personal, private space that’s hidden beyond Venetian sliding doors, as well as a chair that’s equipped with variable lumbar support options and an eight-point massage system.
When you’re ready to get some shuteye, or just relax while enjoying one of the over 100 films available on your 23-inch LCD TV screen, the chair converts to a spacious, nearly 7-foot-long bed.
Each of these elegant suites also includes personal light settings and wardrobe drawers, and, if that’s not enough, you can even study a foreign language or take advantage of the myriad of other learning options available in the virtual eBook or audio book library.
Have you ever wondered "how much is a private jet?" Well, the prices have gone down due to the global pandemic. Here's what to expect.
Skip the Long Lines with British Airways
British Airways is absolutely amazing when it comes to exceptional first-class perks that begin even before you get to the airport. You can pack just about as much as you’d like with a baggage allowance that includes one cabin bag plus a laptop or handbag on board and up to three bags in the hold.
You also get to skip the long lines with dedicated check-in desks at most airports. If you’re departing from JFK in New York or Heathrow in London, you can take advantage of the Concorde Room, which boasts full waiter service, private cabanas, a state-of-the-art business suite that includes a fine dining experience, as well as vintage champagnes and cocktails at the Concorde Bar.
Once you board, you’ll be shown to your private, extra-spacious suite, and be welcomed with a glass of champagne along with “well-being essentials” delivered in a bespoke British Airways bag. In your suite, you’ll find a personal power supply for all your electronic gadgets, and a 150-inch screen for watching movies, documentaries and television shows, or for playing games.
The noise-cancelling headphones let you plug into music and audio book selections too. If you’re on a long-haul flight, your seat can be transformed into a bed that includes a luxurious quilted mattress, white cotton duvet and a pillow.
Flying overnight? You’ll even get a brand new pair of soft cotton pajamas.
And that’s not all. When it comes to dining, you can order from an extensive menu whenever you’d like, with dishes served on white linens and fine bone china. This is not your ordinary airline food either — you can choose from items like Herefordshire beef with truffle taglierini, as well as cheese platters, a full-cooked English breakfast, fresh fruit and more.
