The suites contain personalized storage compartments

Once aboard the Spanish carrier's A346, they was led to his first-class suite, where a spacious leather stool and ottoman ran the length of airplane windows and various compartments overflowed with noise-canceling headphones, menus, pajamas and slippers. After a dinner of caviar, prawn confit, duck breast and an assortment of Spanish cheeses, a flight attendant converted Lais's stool in to a mattress-topped flatbed complete with quilt and giant pillows and showed him how to seal his stool from view with a privacy screen for the remainder of the 12-hour flight.
There is no doubt about it, first class makes travel better.
As airlines stave off bankruptcy by cutting amenities and services to their economy classes, there appears to be a shield around the almighty first class. According to the International Air Transport Association, this is because upper-class passengers, although a small minority among international air travelers, account for very a third of airline revenues. It is not surprising, then, that recent reports show that cabin modifications, those that favor upper-class travelers, are the fastest-growing segment of the airline MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) industry.


What nice is a vintage Madame Cuvée and a bone china plate piled with rare Alpine cheeses in case you don't have someone to enjoy it with? That is the genius behind Swiss's new first-class cabin.
 when most carriers were adding über-private pods in first, Swiss bucked the trend and created a superior chair with adjustable partitions and room to dine for. The cabin also features good-looking wood panelling and seats whose one-of-a-kind air-cushion expertise has won best chair design awards from Global Traveler journal for the past years.
