First class is the most luxurious travel class. There are no problems with legroom here. There are no seats here, there are armchairs. Here you are served from the front and from the back. Here you feel like in heaven, not because you are physically closer to them, but because of the level of comfort. And he had the sweet task of finding among the airlines the one that offers the most for first class.
When they are at To Flightfox compiled the scale of the best suites for first class, took into account a number of parameters, from seating configurations, gateway accessibility and levels of privacy to the type of champagne, the way the caviar is served and whether you are provided with pajamas (see how the companies fared by individual segments here).
The crème de la crème first class is an airline Singapore Airlines, while the second and third places were shared by Hong Kong Cathay Pacific and Dubai Emirates.
Singapore Airlines, however, will not hold first place for long, as the company Etihad for December heralds the arrival paradise among the clouds. The passenger will have three fully furnished rooms, a leather sofa from an Italian manufacturer Poltrona Frau, two dining tables and its own kitchen chef and server.
Of course, you will have to for any such luxury dig deep into your pocket. The cheapest ticket for one way flight with Singapore Airlines will make it easy for you to fly from Singapore to Mumbai 2600 euros. During this time you will be served champagne Dom Pérignon year 2004, they gave you a choice of a double bed, offered you pajamas and seated you on a leather seat that was hand-stitched by Italian masters and which is considered the most sophisticated that the world knows.

The cheapest one-way ticket (Hong Kong - Taiwan) at the second place will cost you much less, "only" 550 euros. If you choose Cathay Pacific, you will be served the best food (but not as salty as the price) and instead of Dom Pérignon you will be served champagne Round Grand Cuvée.
The most expensive one-way ticket bears the emblem of the airline ANA (total in 9th place), which will charge you more than 7000 euros.
Emirates will provide you with pyjamas limousine, offered shower cabin on the plane, bar, caviar and a synonym for vice, Dom Pérignon. When it comes to price-to-luxury ratio, Emirates comes in fourth, and their cheapest first class flight (Auckland to Brisbane) will set you back 649 euros.
