Business Class Flights

Business Class Flights
What’s the big deal about flying business class, anyway? And where exactly did this idea come from?A century ago, all sea voyages had three classes: first, second, and third. First class travelers received a luxury cruise; third class travelers rode in the equivalent of a storage room. Second class was somewhere in between. Things have improved since then of course, but you can think of business class as second class travel: it falls somewhere between economy seating and international first class (but is still a step up from domestic first class).

Business Class History
Qantas Airlines offered the first business class flight in 1979, and the concept took off from there. In recent years, however, the idea has begun to settle. People are more concerned about economy, and the airlines don’t have as much to spend themselves. Most carriers have eliminated business class seating from all but long international flights, and many US carriers have eliminated it altogether.

Business Class Flights - Fly in comfort
The main attractions of a business class flight are increased leg room and reclining seats. Of course, all airline seats recline slightly, but many business class seats recline fully – in other words, they basically turn into beds. You aren’t going to find a champagne flight (such as you might in international first class), but you will find a comfortable, full-service flight, usually complete with a private (ie, restricted to business-class passengers) bathroom. Of course, the catch is the cost: business class flights are substantially more expensive than regular economy seating. Many business people who fly frequently charge the flights to their employers, who are willing to pay for the increased comfort since their employees fly often and will arrive at their destination more refreshed. Business class seating, however, remains prohibitive for most travelers. If you can afford it, it’s certainly the way to go!
