These are officially the 9 best business class cabins in the world for 2016


With many airlines upping the luxe quotient for their business class travel, we are now spoiled for choice with the seating, services, and amenities they offer. They provide nearly the same travel experience as First Class travel but for a much lower cost.

Many airlines now offer business class as the highest level of service, having eliminated first class seating altogether. You get more or less the same lie-flat seats, gourmet food, and some uber-cool amenity kits. The perks in business class are just getting better and better. Some business class seats have become so opulent that you wouldn’t ask for more. Plus, these seats have got to be the best in the house for networking, if that’s your style.
