In recent years the first class flight experience has gone from having a larger seat, a wider and finer selection of alcohol and food to having your own private suite with a full-sized fully flat bed, on-tap everything, private individual check-in services, pre-flight meals and drinks and chauffeur service. So, with all these amazing new features and services available to the first class passenger, which airline provides the best overall experience? Well, Flightfox took it upon themselves to find out. They put 24 first class cabins to the test and took into consideration suite privacy, seat configurations, aisle access, amenities supplied, option for food and drink and how much effort was taken in presentation.
