10 Kabin Pesawat Termewah di Dunia !
10. Air France
Air
France features seats that feel like they were ripped right out of your
den. Sporting side-by-side recliners that fold out into flat beds,
these beefed-up seats in the first-class cabin make sure that you and
your eight fellow travelers feel right at home. Air France stepped up
its first-class offering in response to the new airlines rolling off the
assembly line. The cabin reflects the idea of a French work experience,
which is to say it’s comfortable and light on the actual work. Although
Air France is really just retrofitting its first-class cabins on older
airlines, it’s good to see that passenger service, as opposed to cattle
herding, is a priority over there
9. Virgin Atlantic
9. Virgin Atlantic
Richard
Branson can’t seem to do anything like a normal human being when it
comes to the business world. He’s a billionaire who knows how to get
work done anywhere. This guy has been defining quality experience for
quite some time and his international carrier, Virgin Atlantic, is no
different. First, you won’t find a “first class” here. Instead Virgin
has branded the experience “upper class.” Virgin boasts the widest seats
and the widest and longest beds out of any classic first-class cabin.
Like Air France, Virgin’s fleet of 747s was designed in a different era,
yet they’re able to emphasize an upper-class experience from ticket
purchase to flight time.
8. American Airlines
American
Airlines has been pushing the envelope in productivity onboard an
airline. Introducing what they call the “flagship suite,” the emphasis
is on prepping for that meeting in Taipei while in the air. Features
like swivel seating that lets you meet face-to-face with coworkers,
laptop power outlets at each seat and individual satellite phones you’ll
find everything you need to work right from your seat — which also
carries an unintended downside. When your company books you first class
on one of American’s 777s, you’ll have little chance to sample the
spa-like amenity kits.
7. Air India
Air
India was an early adopter of the concept that travelers deserve a
little privacy in their travel experience. First class on Air India
consists of 12 “sleeperettes” designed to insulate one traveler from
another, aiming at giving them a “personal jet” experience — which is
important in an economy where the likelihood of having access to a
private jet is dwindling at a rate inverse to the chances you’ll be
flying commercial. Sure, it may be a step down from a private jet, but
Air India doesn’t see it that way. The airline gives you a flat bed,
plush carpet and a proprietary “Personal Entertainment Appliance” to
cover all of your television, movie and music needs.
6. Air Canada
The
first-class seats on Air Canada feel quite a bit like a futuristic
office cubicle, which in a way could doom us all. With a lie-flat bed,
ergonomically designed seats and laptop power and data jacks, Air Canada
has entered the list with a completely competent, plush and
well-designed first-class experience. The in-flight entertainment is
top-notch, with individual armrest screens, three days worth of
on-demand video, individual DVD players, and premium news — you’ll never
be out of the loop. Hopefully, office managers don’t fly Air Canada too
often. If their seats really are an omen of what’s on the horizon, they
may never let us leave the office.
5. All Nippon Airways
All
Nippon Airways has taken your seat and wrapped it in high, curving
walls. Flying then becomes almost a pod-like experience. Everything from
your own personal monitor to your slide-out dinner table is contained
within your own space. Personal space is something airlines have been
shedding at every possible turn, so it’s good to see that All Nippon is
building that personal area back into its first-class section. Each pod
has all the basics covered for work and play. All Nippon Airways makes
sure you’ll be able to make a call on your personal satellite phone
while working on your laptop powered by your own outlet. And they make
sure you can do so in complete privacy.
4. British Airways
The
demi-cabin experience in British Airways’ first-class section is billed
as a “private sanctuary.” For ad copy, the airline isn’t far off.
Privacy and insulation are paramount among BA’s concerns for its
passengers. With turndown service and full linens for the 6′6″ bed, the
sleeping experience is a treat. When you need to stay awake and prep for
the meeting in the air, BA’s got you covered there as well with power
outlets and phones so you need never be out of touch if you feel that’s
important. British Airways may be fine for business, but the real treat
is sitting down with a cocktail before bed and really getting into the
luxury that is the sleeper demi-cabin.
3. Jet Airways
While
British Airways may have a demi-cabin, Jet Airways went ahead and gave
you a private bedroom complete with a sliding door. You don’t get more
private than that. In that bedroom you’ve got a 23-inch flat-screen TV,
one luxurious seat for you and an additional small seat that doubles as
an ottoman if you’re a tall drink of water that really wants to stretch
out. The ability to wall yourself off from the outside world, flight
staff and all, is really the dream of every air traveler. With Jet
Airways’ cabin you can be as productive as you want to be or you can
stew in your flight-induced anxiety within the privacy of your own
bedroom.
2. Emirates Airways
You
really have to hand it to the Emirates right now, they are taking
outside-the-box thinking to an entirely new level. Want to travel to
Dubai and see some of the outrageous architecture they’re working on? Go
ahead and do it in style on board Emirates first class, which has taken
the revolutionary concept of a private bedroom in air travel and added
that touch of ridiculous. In addition to the flat-screen TV and
requisite bed, you’ll find that you have your own coat closet, vanity
desk and personal mini-bar. If that third gin and tonic has you a bit
apprehensive about your flight, you can monitor the whole thing on your
personal TV via the series of cameras mounted all over the plane. The
level of luxury here is absolutely absurd.
1. Singapore Airways
Far and away the best experience possible in any first-class section
anywhere in the world; Singapore Air doesn’t just provide a private
bedroom, it provides a private suite. It’s not even really a suite, it’s
like a flying apartment. Every other offering on the list has a seat
that turns into a rather comfortable bed. Singapore decided that was
cheating and not quite kosher with the stress of international business.
The airline will just give you a comfortable recliner and set it right
next to a static bed designed by Jean-Jacques Coste, a renowned French
yacht designer. You get a chair and a bed in the single cabins. If you
happen to be traveling with someone, the option of a double bed is
available. This is the absolute best experience you can have flying with
any other passenger on board with you.
