Every self-respecting airline offers flat beds in premium classes. But it’s also these innovations keeping passengers blissfully asleep at 30,000 feet that set the best carriers apart.
01 HOTEL-QUALITY BEDDING
Airlines from Delta to Qatar are collaborating with experts such as Westin and Frette to bring high thread count linens, memory foam pillows and fluffy duvets on board. On Japan Airlines, you can even choose the firmness of your mattress pad. Complimentary pyjamas complete the hotel experience.
02 SLEEPING WITH YOUR PARTNER
Singapore introduced double beds in first class back in 2006, on its Airbus A380 suites. This year, it joins Qatar in rolling out joint accommodation for two in business class. Availability is limited, though. The former offers plus-sized mattresses for just three bulkhead centre rows on freshly delivered “whale jets”, while the latter has them in alternating centre rows in its new Boeing 777-300ERs.
