Travel Classes

All three classes have been upgraded, to offer passengers a new level of space, individual privacy and and inflight entertainment with our award winning StudioCX during your flight.

• The new First Class is a suite rather than a seat, with just the right amount of personal attention, interaction and privacy. These most comfortable seats will transform with just a press of a button into one of the largest beds in the sky.
• The new Business Class offers comfortable seats with massage function and easy access to the aisle. A simple press of a button turns the seat into a perfectly flat bed for a wonderful night rest.
• The new Economy Class offers more personal space with a fixed-back shell seat and a 9" widescreen TV with Audio-Video-on-Demand.
