Air Travel Guide: Facilities in Economy, Business, and First Class

Air travel is thought to be more comfortable and quicker than train. Similar to train, airlines also come in classes depending on facilities. In an airplane, business class is considered to be better than economy in terms of facilities and slightly less than first class. For those travelers who desire a low-cost as well as a bit comfortable air travel, the business class of an airplane is a suitable choice. The facilities are like this:

• Seat: Its seats are bigger than economy class. You get more legroom and the ability to recline further. In the business class of long-distance flights, you can convert the seat into a bed, which reduces your travel fatigue.
• Premium Meal: In this class, passengers can enjoy dishes prepared by experienced chefs. You have a lot of options to choose from. Not only this, those traveling in this class also have the facility to go to the luxury lounge of the airport.
• Service: You get more personalized service because the ratio of passengers and crew members is quite good.
• Entertainment: To make the journey interesting, passengers get facilities like bigger screens, USB ports.

The first class of airlines is the most luxurious and elite form of travel. But this class isn't offered by all airlines and routes. You will be able to find this class in the majority of international flights. In this class, you experience a private suite. 

First-class air travel is meant to provide an unmatched luxury experience. Some airlines provide exclusive facilities such as private suites with sliding doors, comfortable beds, and even showers on board. The roomy cabins provide total privacy, while travelers can relish their favorite dishes from a five-star menu accompanied by high-quality wines and champagne. For extra comfort, some airlines also provide chauffeur-driven transfers, together with the privilege of one dedicated member of staff per traveler, providing exclusive service throughout.

Economy class is considered to be the most common and cheapest option for air travel. In terms of facilities, it is much inferior to business and first class. The facilities available in it depend on the airline. Passengers do not get a personalized experience. Some airlines provide free meals, snacks or beverages but many do not have this facility and passengers have to bear this expense themselves.
