Traveling on a plane can be both hectic and luxurious depending on the class that you travel. Although the facilities and styles change with different airlines, there are some standard differences between the two classes of first class and coach.
First class is located in the front of the plane and offers comparatively less noise from the engines. There is also less turbulence in the front of the plane as opposed to the back. First class also has more comfortable seating, with wider seats and more leg space. The seats are much like lounge chairs. You can also recline the seat into a sleeping position. Because there are only two seats in a row, no one is struck in the middle. -
Travel in first class is virtually hassle-free. Separate washrooms are located in the front of the plane solely for first class passengers. Being used by fewer people, they are cleaner and lines (if any) are much shorter. At most airports, there are dedicated lanes for security and check-in. Of course, these lines are much shorter, which reduces your wait time. You also have access to private waiting lounges, and even the baggage and boarding of first class passengers are given priority on air flights.
As soon as you board the flight, a flight attendant will hang your coat and offer champagne or some other welcome alcoholic drink. The service from the flight crew is more personal in first class as they usually address you by name. - In first class the food and all beverages, including alcohol, is free. The quality of food is high, with fresh fruits and wines offered on the menu. Food is served in chinaware and silver cutlery, as opposed to the pre-packed dinners in disposable cups and bowls sold in coach. Some airlines also provide four to five course meals that are cooked to order, according to your preferences.
