The ticket will have a lot to spend.
Leading airlines in the world are reconsidering travelling first class, offering clients a more private space, as it was on giant ocean liners a hundred years ago.
In recent years several major airlines have updated the range of services provided to passengers in first class. An important trend has been the privacy — airlines respond to passengers willing to pay extra for a compartment closed with a real door. In the interior, this trend is also reflected — more and more carriers are equipped with first class single beds and armchairs, but do not forget about entertainment: many companies equip bars for passengers. Each airline seeks to equip the aircraft with technological innovations to make long-distance flights more comfortable. For example, passengers can individually adjust the temperature or lighting design of a cabin of the first class. Why are passengers willing to pay $4000-9000 per flight?
