24 First Class Flying Innovations

From Luxury Airplane Suites to Luxe Airline Accomodations

— October 12, 2014 — Luxury
When it comes to first class flying in the 21st century, we're seeing everything from private suites to luxury restrooms entering the market to satisfy the growing demand for luxury travel on an international scale. Although air travel has come under scrutiny in the past few years for being a horrible experience for those in economy, airlines have gone above and beyond to change this perception. However, as economy improves, first class flying has reached new heights (figuratively and literally) when it comes to offering lavish experiences.

From full size beds to offering onesies for overnight hauls, airlines are standing apart by offering services never before imagined. Looking to smoke some hashish or visit the spa? There's a first class for that as well as a plethora of other lavish options.
