AIR NEW ZEALAND

Air New Zealand has revolutionized air travel with its SkyCouch

design in Economy Class. The window row seats are

characterized by retractable armrests and leg rests which

fold all the way up to the row in front, making a flat surface

for kids to play or passengers to lie down. It has even been

nicknamed the “cuddle class”. For those willing to pay out a

bit more, Air New Zealand’s luxurious Business Premier class

has the longest cabins in any Business Class and an

ottoman footrest which can double as a visitor seat.

 

 

AMERICAN AIRLINES

The largest airline in the world in terms of fleet size, American

Airlines has recently been stepping up its game. The airline’s

Flagship Suite comes on all 777-300ERs and features in flight

wine tasting, turn-down service (complete with pyjamas) and a

swivelling chair whereby passengers can set up a work

space to keep connected even in flight.

 

 

OMAN AIR

Winner of the World Travel Awards’ 2015 prize for “World’s

Leading Airline – Economy Class”, Oman Air also won the

“World’s Leading Airport Lounge – Business Class” for its

lounge in Oman’s capital, Muscat. The airline is special among

most airlines in its record of zero fatalities and accidents.

Passengers in First Class enjoy limousine pick-up and an

eight-point massage system built into their seat.

 

 

SWISS INTERNATIONAL AIR LINES

Though a subsidiary of German airline Lufthansa, Swiss

International Air Lines is known for giving Swiss chocolate

to all passengers on most flights. The successor to Swiss Air,

the airline also allows pre-booking of cake, champagne, or red

wine as an on board surprise. First Class customers also

enjoy Zimmerli of Switzerland pyjamas and luxury brand

La Prairie toiletries.

 

 

QANTAS AIRWAYS

Though the name may seem like a Middle Eastern airline, Qantas

is Aussie, mate. (Its name is an acronym of the original name:

Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.) Each

international First Class seat seems more like a private cabin,

complete with a sheepskin mattress and electronically-controlled

bed adjustment. Flying foodies can dig into the

eight-course tasting menu.

 

 

LUFTHANSA

The largest airline in Europe, Lufthansa demonstrates that

German simplicity and efficiency can also mean a luxurious

airline experience. First Class customers departing from

Frankfurt even enjoy their own terminal where 200 staff care

for 300 passengers daily. When the flight is ready to leave,

passengers are driven to the plane by a Mercedes Benz S- or

V-Class or a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera.

 

 

HAINAN AIRLINES

The lesser-known Hainan Airlines won the World Travel Awards’

“World’s Leading Airline – Business Class” award in 2015 for

the second consecutive year. (It also won an award for the best

in-flight service.) Turn-down service (including a silk quilt) and

different tea offerings based on the season are

available in Business Class.

 

 

VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS

The brainchild of Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Atlantic Airways is,

along with other Virgin-branded airlines, putting fun back

into air travel. Besides swanky on board bars for socializing,

this luxurious airline features a 10 minute car-to-airport-lounge

check-in so Upper Class passengers can hit the spa before

departing. Did we mention the in-flight massages, too?
