Why is first class so expensive?

One of the differences: different terminals.

I used to know that airports of all sizes have some VIP lounges for first class/business class passengers and people who fly as much as flies, so I have accumulated more than 100 thousand flight kilometers and become the owners of silver cards and gold cards. But I never knew the difference. When I went in this time, I found that besides comfortable sofas, there were usually free drinks and snacks. The best is Hong Kong Airport. Like a free breakfast in a four-star hotel. Besides all kinds of juices and sodas, there are also beer and red wine. As for dim sum, there are many kinds of Cantonese dim sum and western dim sum, as well as dessert such as fruit box after dinner and Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Only one chef is needed to fry eggs on the spot. I scold while eating, luxury is really his luxury!

The worst is the VIP room of Tianjin Airport. The sofa is very big, and there is nothing to eat except some biscuits and soda. ..

The second difference-the difference between boarding.

First class should be a non-stop flight. This is not clear. Business class and regular class board the plane at the same place, but business class is absolutely preferred. From Hong Kong to Manila, there is a huge A330 aircraft with 200 to 300 ordinary cabins. So when you first board the plane, you will see a long queue in the regular class and be yelled at by the employees. However, only a few people in business class can board the plane gracefully and calmly.

Distinguish between three welcome drinks and newspapers.

After boarding the plane, when the economy class passengers were stuck in the narrow aisle, looking for seats and putting boxes, and the flight attendants kept calling "please let the aisle go, please let the aisle go first", the business class side had already sat down. The stewardess has poured at least two drinks and distributed them to each guest, asking which one you want to drink. After you finished drinking, she asked if you wanted another drink.

As for newspapers, economy class passengers always snatch their favorite newspapers from flight attendants. (Usually, official newspapers such as XX Daily and XX Airlines are unpopular, while newspapers for the masses such as XX Metropolis Daily and XX Times will be robbed first. ) Some economy class flight attendants also divide a newspaper into several copies, each with two or three pages, saying, "Let's read it separately and change it." Business class, usually.

Difference 4: Seats

This is the difference in hardware. In addition to the width of the seat, the distance between the two seats is wider, and generally two drinks can be put down. The new business class is equipped with a separate TV screen, where you can watch movies and play games (many economy classes also have them now). In addition, as long as the electric button is pressed, some business class seats of some aircraft will gradually flatten out and eventually become a bed. It is said that some planes of Air China have just finished this transformation. ) think about it.

When you eat in economy class, your head may bump into the back of the seat of the person in front because he doesn't obey the rules. At this time, you will frown and shake the person in front or ask the flight attendant to let the person in front straighten the seat back. But there is no such problem in business class. Everyone can lie down and eat like a sick person, as long as you are not uncomfortable.

By the way, the richness of TV programs I shot in Cathay Pacific Business Class is beyond my imagination. The TV programs here are interactive on demand. The top ten channels are ten movies, followed by several animation channels, several national geographic channels, several music channels, several star entertainment channels, several news channels and so on. On-demand TV programs followed, such as Brother Xian's "I guess" program. There are so many contents that I can't remember them clearly. I guess I can only go on adult programs, hahaha.

Distinguish between five names and menus.

There are also differences in names? Yes In economy class, when the flight attendant wants to call you, you don't know your name. Some rude air storms may just call you "hello". But in business class, you will have a name, because the flight attendants will have the boarding list today. She will come up to you, say "good morning/afternoon, Mr. XX", and then present one politely.

Distinguish between six meals and drinks

This is the most hardware difference except the seat. Forget the economy class car that is used to deliver drinks, then meals and then tableware. Will not appear in business class. I wonder if the flight attendants must deliver each dish from the service area to each guest separately. Is it a hard requirement? They can't deliver two people at the same time. So during the meal, several flight attendants flew around the cabin like butterflies, bringing drinks and meals to everyone. Then according to each passenger.

Forget the disposable plastic knife and fork in economy class. Here, every passenger can use the regular metal knife and fork in the restaurant, usually two knives, two forks and two spoons.

The first course in business class will include at least one soup, a salad, a loaf of bread and a plate of fruit. I met scallop seafood soup, which was so beautiful. In the same situation, the flight attendant will provide you with at least three meals for you to choose from. Dinner looks similar to that in western restaurants, such as steak, spaghetti or Asian food. Definitely not chicken rice or beef rice wrapped in tin foil.

Don't worry, when you start eating, the stewardess will ask you what drinks you want, including a lot of red wine. It was just because you didn't drink enough.

When you eat almost, the stewardess begins to serve dessert, including chocolate and Haagen-Dazs. ....

Difference seven, get off the plane first

Well, finally, the deluxe business class service is over. Finally, you can usually go first when you get off the plane. In the case of using the aisle, those hateful flight attendants will block the passengers in economy class until the passengers in the first two cabins are gone.
