If you want your luxe vacation to start as soon as you step foot into the airport, business-class travel nearly guarantees top-tier comfort.
From the lie-flat seats to the impeccable food offerings, it’s the best kind of splurge — if you’re willing to invest in the upgrade.
Business Insider contributing writer Jill Schildhouse, who takes at least 50 flights a year and has been to more than 36 countries, went on three business-class flights recently.
She compared the offerings from American Airlines, Singapore Airlines, and Qantas. Here’s how they fared.
American Airlines: After flying 13 hours from Dallas to Tokyo, Schildhouse said her business class seat “was more angled toward the windows, which made it feel more private.” She was also impressed by the service. After a flight attendant noticed her drinking a lot of water, they “brought me a huge bottle to enjoy … plus a second one to take with me.”
Qantas: Australia’s flagship carrier scored points for being the only airline to offer Schildhouse pajamas during her long-haul flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne. They were so comfy, she still wears them at home. It was also the only plane to have a vibey lounge area that allowed business-class passengers to “grab snacks and drinks from coolers.”
Singapore Airlines: Schildhouse was most impressed by this airline during her 16-hour flight from Singapore to Los Angeles. It had her favorite seat “thanks to the plush bedding and three pillows provided when it was turned into a bed.” It also scored high points for having her favorite meals that were “full of flavor.”
