Many of our clients choose to fly first class or business class on their flights. They appreciate the personalized services offered as well as the amenities that are provided to them.
We recently returned home from an International business trip to France. We experienced first and business class seats and wanted to share some of the experiences with you. Check out this video.
What’s the difference between Business Class and First Class?
Business Class has traditionally been the cabin class between Economy Class (the lowest tier of cabin class) and First Class (the highest tier of cabin class). Many airlines today don’t offer a First Class cabin and as a result, the Business Class cabin has adopted many of the services, benefits and amenities that can be found in First Class.
Most times First Class offers premium travel services at the airport, including premier check-in counter and security lanes and priority boarding. Most airlines offer checking in your bags with no service charges. The First Class cabins have a number of complimentary services and amenities, such as restaurant-quality dining on board, larger and more comfortable seating (most offer seats that transform into a bed), a personal workspace, travel kits and more.
What’s included with your First Class and Business Class tickets differ from airline to airline, with some more extravagant than others.
Additional amenities offered
As well as the premium services that First Class and Business Class passengers receive in-flight, there’s also a range of benefits you receive on the ground too.
For example, many airlines offer fast-track check-in, boarding and disembarkation to its passengers, as well as access to exclusive lounges.
First Class or Business Class worth it?
This completely depends on your reason for travel and your budget.
First Class or Business Class is fantastic if you need to be well-rested when you arrive at your destination. These seats are always much more comfortable than those in Economy and many airlines offer seats that transform into fully-flat beds, so you can actually lie down and sleep during the flight.
Both First Class or Business Class are also great if you’re traveling for a special occasion, such as a honeymoon, wedding, anniversary or a significant birthday.
We can confidently say: Yes, first class and business class are worth the extra cost. On long flights, the personalized service, the comfortable seat, extra space, delicious food and extra goodies are well worth it.
