Airlines are pushing for their first-class passengers to be relaxed even before reaching the luxe accommodations on board the aircraft. Prior to takeoff, guests flying Qantas can enjoy being pampered at the Aurora Day Spa, situated inside the airline's designated lounge at flagship airports.
Once on board, the "jumbo pods" designed by Australian design legend Marc Newson have a pullout bed, amenity kits, a personal 17-inch television, and an ottoman — talk about a mini hotel room in the air! When it's time to turn down, you will find the bedding service providing guests with pillows, a duvet, and a sheepskin mattress . . . you know, for that deep sleep. For those who like bubbles, Veuve Clicquot or Taittinger Champagne are free flowing and pair nicely with the caviar and lobster puffs.
