Business Class: Sky-High Luxury

When it comes to business class, it’s a world of choices—and indulgences. Singapore Airlines takes the cake for romantic luxury with its unique double beds in business class. Yes, you read that right—select middle seats on their A380 (like 11D/F and 96D/F) can transform into an actual double bed. Perfect for couples who want to share the experience (and their blanket) while cruising at 35,000 feet. It’s a flying love nest.

On the flip side, Qatar Airways has created a business class masterpiece with their Qsuite. These innovative cabins can be transformed into a quad, making them ideal for families traveling with kids or groups of friends who want to share the sky together. Need privacy? Each Qsuite has a door that turns your seat into a personal sanctuary. Whether it’s the double beds or the quad seating, Qatar makes it feel less like a flight and more like a private club in the air.

And then, there’s me—your Luxe Adventurer, who unapologetically craves a private single seat. Give me a secluded window spot, complete with a glass of vintage champagne and an exclusive amenity kit filled with luxury skincare products, and I’ll be in my element. Sometimes, it’s all about the luxury of "me time," where I can sip, recline, and soak up the serenity.

Fiji Airways: Your Perfect Gateway to North America and Tropical Bliss

My favourite for North America is Fiji Airways, their new A350 aircraft is a revelation for travelers seeking excellent value. With routes to Vancouver, Dallas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, Fiji Airways offers competitive fares without skimping on the comfort. And here’s a bonus—why not stop off in Fiji on the way and turn your journey into a dual adventure? Think of it as the ultimate layover—picture yourself soaking up the sun on white sand beaches, basking in warm Fijian hospitality, and marveling at breathtaking sunsets. Now, imagine carving through Canada’s powder-soft snow and gliding down its endless ski runs, only to top it off with a few rejuvenating days in Fiji to thaw out and recharge. Oh, and by the way, if you’re seeking the ultimate relaxation, check out Fiji Naturally by Luxe Adventures—your gateway to paradise.

The Social Sky:
Best Onboard Bars

Not all the action happens in your seat—sometimes, the best memories are made at 35,000 feet with a cocktail in hand. Emirates’ A380 onboard bar is iconic, offering a lively spot to mingle and indulge. Qatar Airways’ A380 bar brings elegant service to the sky. For those who like their flights a little more social, these bars are worth every extra mile.

Pre-Order Perfection

Here’s a little-known perk of business class: many airlines, including Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways, invite passengers to pre-order their meals before the flight. This means you’ll have access to an expanded menu, ensuring you can snag your first preference rather than crossing your fingers on board. Whether it’s a perfectly cooked steak or a vegetarian masterpiece, you’ll have your ideal meal waiting for you when you’re ready to dine in style.

The Luxe Adventures Difference

With so many choices and nuances, booking a flight can feel overwhelming. Do you want extra legroom? A double bed for two? A private suite for some solo R&R? Maybe an in-flight bar to sip champagne and make new friends? Or how about turning your layover into a tropical getaway? At Luxe Adventures, we’re experts in unraveling the intricacies of airline seating, ensuring you get the seat (and experience) that perfectly fits your needs. Just keep in mind, the aircraft operating on your specific route may vary, so let us guide you to the best.

Because flying should be more than just a way to get from A to B—it should be a journey in itself. Whether you’re after romance, connection, or solitude, we’ll help you find the perfect seat to make your time in the air as memorable as your destination.

Safe travels, Luxe Insiders. ✈️
