We’ve all done it. Walked onto the plane and longingly glanced to our left toward the mysterious curtain into first class, only to be led away into economy.
When you see just how much first class can cost, it can really get you thinking: “What is it through that curtain that could possibly justify paying so much!?”
Is it as simple as a couple of free drinks and some comfy cushions? Or is there something they’re not telling us!
Well, wonder no more, as SilverDoor serviced apartments have put together this infographic to give you a peek behind the curtain and see exactly what separates economy, business, and first class.
The Benefits Of Each Class
The benefits of each section of the aircraft vary a lot depending on the airline, length of the flight and type of aircraft, but they’ve come to some general conclusions about what you can expect from each.
One of the things most of us complain about the most when it comes to flying is the legroom, so it’s understandable that this is one of the benefits that you’d look out for first!
On a standard economy flight, you can expect to find around 29 to 34 inches of legroom, and 17 inches of width in your seat, which really isn’t all that special!
Make the jump up to first class and you can expect as much as double the legroom on some flights, as well as an extra 2 to 3 inches width as well as a reclining chair that might even turn into a bed.
The menus for your in-flight meal will also differ quite considerably, with dishes designed by the likes of Michel Roux Jr. and Gordon Ramsey such as roast dinners, seafood dishes and curries.
A far cry from those foil trays you can expect on an economy flight!
