Newest Features in Luxury Air Travel

For more than a century, passengers have enjoyed air travel in making way to their destination quickly and comfortably. In recent years, airline amenities have reached new heights with business and first class features rising above past expectations to take on a truly luxury air travel experience. With new technologies and modes of relaxation continuously being incorporated into premium travel, first and business class international flights are more lavish than ever and are expected to continue to evolve in coming years. Get to know some of the air travel industry’s most extravagant features that deliver passengers to their destination in style.




Boeing 777-300ER

Known for its luxury flights, Emirates recently introduced the world’s first enclosed cabin suite featured on an aircraft. The Boeing 777-300ER allows passengers to enjoy 40 feet of their own private space with a sleek look inspired by Mercedes Benz. The aircraft, offering flights out of Dubai, has a series of features to pamper passengers for the ultimate travel experience. They’ll take in entertainment on the biggest widescreen touch TV on any airplane in the world, lounging on “zero gravity” seats perfectly measured to reach the peak of comfort. Mood lighting and temperature control personalize the experience, and virtual windows with a live video feed of the terrain below make sure every passenger has a window seat.




Etihad A380

While not technically fully-enclosed, a Residence cabin on the Etihad A380 gives Emirates a run for its money by offering the world’s only three-room air travel apartment in the sky. Complete with a living room, bedroom and ensuite bathroom with a shower, luxury is an understatement for guests flying out of Abu Dhabi to NYC, London, Paris or Sydney. A personal butler serves Residence passengers custom, gourmet meals in their spacious living room before they retire to the bedroom, fit with a double bed and additional entertainment system. The bathroom with a full-height shower provides a way to refresh on the long flights, complete with a vanity and luxury robes.

Air France La Premiere 777-300ER

While none reach the level of extravagance these top-tier cabins provide, other airlines around the world are aiming to upgrade their first and business class services in a variety of ways. The Air France La Premiere 777-300ER provides a notable raised side partition and floor-to-ceiling closed-curtains allowing for an elevated level of privacy. Seats that are made into full beds offer a quality night’s rest with premium bedding. The exceptional experience is topped off with some of the best airline dining in the world. Seven-course meals of caviar, lobster and steak designed by a Michelin-star chef place Air France above all in air dining excellence.

Zodiac Aerospace

With growing expectations of enhanced comfort and tech in flying experiences, the near future of air travel is projected to include an array of heightened luxuries that continue to take passengers into the next era of first and business class flight. Airbus is partnering with Zodiac Aerospace to develop interchangeable sleeping modules on the lower deck of the Airbus A330. The modular design, expected to be an aircraft catalog option in 2020, will also allow for other uses such as a kids’ zone, medical center, lounge or conference room.

Panasonic Avionics

Panasonic Avionics is also well on their way to making improvements in premium air travel. Their innovative Nanoe air filtration system, a service planned to launch in 2021, suppresses bacteria, viruses, allergens and other pollutants that improve air quality for first and business class passengers. Panasonic is also developing Active Noise Control technology to reduce aircraft noise and replace it with the passenger’s choice of ambient sound or music.

Boom Supersonic

An ambitious project by Boom Supersonic aims to deliver passengers from Tokyo to San Francisco in under six hours on a supersonic jet travelling more than double the speed of sound. With testing beginning in 2019, these ultra-fast flights have an expected release date of 2025 with prices comparable to today’s business class seats.

    Pre-Flight Access

    Your travel experience begins the second you step foot into the airport, and when you’re holding a premium class ticket, you can expect only the best. Oftentimes first and business class riders are able to skip long TSA lines for the priority check line, where your first task in boarding is streamlined and stress-free. Once inside, you’re afforded lounge access that provides a comfortable place to rest with bites or cocktails before boarding your flight. Checking your bags may also be free with premium class tickets, making the upgraded ticket even more worthwhile.




    Convenience

    You’ll be able to take your time in the airport lounge as a premium class ticket includes priority seating. Breeze past the boarding line before economy ticketholders and settle into your seat at the head of the plane. Additional room in overhead bins also promises no worries about your carry-on needing to be checked for a lack of space. De-planing in first class and business class is always a quick process with the upfront location allowing you to be the first group to exit to your destination.




    Comfort

    With economy seating becoming smaller each year due to airlines’ attempts in maximizing square footage, you have all the more reason to treat yourself to a comfortable flight in a premium seat. The spacious layout often allows for exiting directly to the aisle without bothering nearby passengers. Enhanced seats on longer international flights often include the ability to lie flat, allowing you a premium seat in a quieter and more peaceful setting. Some planes offer dividers between seats creating a private, pod-like domain to call your own.

    Quality

    During your flight, you’ll enjoy a higher quality of amenities across the board. Better food options are often available along with real silverware to enjoy plastic-free dining. Complimentary alcoholic beverages will ease any flying jitters in first and business class, bringing a blissful buzz to your adventure. Upgraded technology is also a part of the package with larger viewing screens and noise-cancelling headphones to immerse you into your on-flight entertainment. Longer, international flights may also include complimentary toiletries, pajamas, or even showers to make you feel right at home in the air. While flight attendants will cater to each guest, they are known to go over and above for premium class passengers to make your travel experience perfect.

    Productivity

    Business travelers may know the struggle of attempting to work in the cramped quarters of economy. Ensure your next business trip is productive with premium seating to act as an in-flight office space. Dedicated outlets and free wifi mean that your devices are charged and ready so that you won’t have to worry about being off the grid while you’re in the air. You’ll likely be surrounded by like-minded professionals who may have an interest in your work, which also makes premium seating an ideal environment for networking. Once you’ve landed, the premium class benefits continue as you’ll be well-rested and full of energy with valuable, new contacts in your phone. Whether it’s an important meeting or a vacation itinerary, you’ll be able to tackle your travel plans head-on with an upgraded first class or business class ticket.
