The company will instead reveal new seats for its business class and premium economy sections to keep frequent fliers happy.


The new business class suites will include exciting features such as a sliding privacy door and a lounge seating option with more storage space for long-haul flights. Further, in providing impetus to socializing, the airlines will also allow fliers to come together and dine during their sojourns.
