Most airline passengers take the economy class for a cheaper flight but for other passengers they prefer getting a more expensive option because of the comfort they will get from it. The first and business class travel are often taken as an option. The business and first class seats are generally expensive but their prices vary from each airline carrier and the seasons in a year. It does not need to be very expensive, unless you took the last minute flight ticket which tends to be very expensive. If you purchase the ticket at an earlier time, for example a month or so prior to your flight schedule, you will be able to get a good discount off from the regular price of the business and first class tickets.
The amenities offered in first and business class vary from one airline carrier to another so in the passenger's part it is highly imperative that they do an intensive research first before settling on an airline carrier. There are only a handful of airline carriers that offer the first class option to shorter trips except with the high yield routes in Asia such as the Hong Kong-Tokyo or Hong Kong-Singapore and the US. Business class is not offered in some cases but most airlines are adapting their first and business class options that are designed to fit almost like an economy class option but differing in amenities.
The following are what you will expect from the first and business class options.
- If you choose to fly in business class, you will be able to lie flat on your back because the seats are spacious, allowing more room for you to move around, preventing DVT.
- You will also avoid passengers that have strange odors on their body, hysterical people who just boarded their first airline flight and families bringing babies with them.
- You will be able to get off the plane immediately if you are out of time for going to your destination.
- Business class passengers have a separate queue from the economy class, especially with the check-in area. They have their own lounge where they can enjoy eating snacks, drinks or have free internet access. There are even other airline carriers that offer a nap room and showers.
For the first class option, it is rarely offered in most airline carrier because most passengers prefer the economy and business class.
