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.

        Luxury Lifestyle Concierge Services: Making the Impossible Possible

        What are Luxury Lifestyle Concierge Services?

        Have you ever wondered how some people manage to do it all? From snagging a last minute table for a client dinner at the hottest restaurant in town, to popping champagne at an exclusive new nightclub, to enjoying a helicopter tour overlooking their favorite vacation spot, how is it that some seem to possess all the time in the world to manage both business and pleasure? Many may not realize the answer to that question lies in luxury lifestyle concierge services—the best kept secret in the world of those who do it all.

        Making the Impossible Possible

        The idea of ‘concierge’ may initially bring up images of someone standing at a desk in the lobby of a hotel. But what if you could have all the benefits of concierge assistance every day without having to check in? Luxury concierge companies like Zocha Group are able to offer some of the best experiences available in whichever city is on your itinerary. You can avoid all the hassles of making tedious arrangements and instead truly relax knowing that the details of your adventure are taken care of by professionals who live to ‘make it happen.’

        The key to success for many luxury lifestyle concierge services companies like Zocha Group often comes from personal relationships that are crucial to obtaining access to exclusive opportunities. Clients may not know who to contact in order to rent a private island for a weekend-long party, but when a personal concierge is on your side, they can make the impossible possible. No matter how extraordinary the request, a combination of customer service and an expansive network of connections allow clients to enjoy experiences that surpass their expectations.

        Maintain an Efficient Travel Agenda

        Zocha Group’s concierge services aren’t just limited to personal endeavors, and can be an essential element to facilitating corporate requests. If you’re out to impress a client in their hometown, you can’t just take them to a spot they’ve been to a million times before. And if you’re introducing a team to the perks of a city they’re unfamiliar with, you have the burden of doing all the research to find out what makes that city the place to be. Instead of going through the meticulous process of becoming an expert in every locale you visit, a concierge service can be the insider you need to successfully wine and dine your clients.

        Zocha Group has personal connections with the locations they work with, which means you may even get the added touch of the chef stopping by your table to say hello, or the property owner joining you for a private tour. Whether you’re in charge of booking a series of hotel rooms, securing a conference room for your colleagues, or arranging a tee time that works with everyone’s schedule, having a professional on your side allows your business to maintain an efficient travel agenda without overspending.

        Receive Access to Experiences

        When traveling to a new place, or even taking a staycation in your own city, you may not know about the variety of experiences available for you to enjoy. Finding event tickets, dining reservations or access to exclusive nightlife is only a call away when you have a luxury concierge service like Zocha Group to organize your entry. A personalized itinerary filled with exciting things to do is a major perk when you’re working with a company focused on ensuring your travel experience exceeds expectations. Whether you’re sitting at the private chef’s table, in a premium seat for your favorite artist, or at a wine tasting with a breathtaking view, your personal concierge can create a custom schedule for your trip, leaving you with nothing to do but enjoy the adventure.

        With luxury lifestyle concierge services functioning as a secret weapon for many, the industry is booming with requests as simple as a Sunday brunch reservation and as extravagant as chartering a private jet to South Beach in the next 4 hours. No matter the request, these companies like Zocha Group employ the brightest in the business to ensure that your arrangements are taken care of with integrity and style.

It wouldn’t be an East Hampton stay without booking a reservation at Nick & Toni’s–the local mainstay that’s been serving up delicious Mediterranean cuisine for decades.

          Made popular by its Sag Harbor location, Dopo La Spiaggi in East Hampton is also a great option that offers up a vibrant array of signature, Italian flavors. For a change of scenery, you can take a quick trip to nearby Amagansett to visit Hamptons’ classic venue Stephen Talkhouse.
