Flight marketplace experts Flightfox.com has listed the top first-class flights in the world, naming Singapore Airline’s First Class Suites as the ultimate flying experience.<\/p>\n

Major international airlines offer elite packages for those who wish to fly in comfort – and have the money to spare. Some airlines offer private suites, while others offer VIP treatment and service.<\/p>\n

All, however, will guarantee way more leg room than anyone in cattle-class could ever imagine.<\/p>\n

While some ticket costs for these elite flights are quite affordable – such as Swiss Air’s First Class tickets which start from $355 (R3,960), according to Flightfox – tickets can also reach the insane: as much as $9,640 (R107,600) for an ANA First Square flight.<\/p>\n

These are the top 10 first-class packages according to Flightfox, as rated by their comfort, food, “rockstar factor”, and hackability.<\/p>\n

While Singapore Airline’s Suites were ranked number one overall, with top marks for making passengers feel like a rockstar, Lufthansa’s First Class was rated as having the most comfortable seats and best food and wine.<\/p>\n
