After seeing this image, did you think it’s taken in a hotel room somehow? Then you would be wrong, it is actually a first class suite of The Singapore Airlines. From an article on Business Insider, it is mentioned that Eithad’s first class “Residence” is like an apartment in the sky. I have never had a chance to enjoy a trip in a first class suite, and I know how much the price is for flying just in the business class. But in the BI article, it says actually 70% revenue of  an airline  only come from 25% passengers on board. This surprised me, there are so many flyers on a flight but they are not the ones that make profits for the airline?

Recently, different airlines are improving their first class suites to compete with other airlines. Do you want a good sleep on the plane? We see so many advertisements on TV about the airlines’ business class; talking about how comfortable it can be and what can your “snack” be on a five hours flight. But we seldom realize that airlines are competing on the high end services and I can understand why they put so much investment on it especially on their first class suites, but at the same time I think the services for business class is still important to their company image.
