Is It a Bird? Is It a Plane? What It Is a Plane?

I'm obsessed with planes. I love all types of planes, fighter jets, private jets, commercial airliners. What has recently got me going lately is business travel. If you haven't traveled for business in awhile, or your job doesn't entail business travel (like mine), you won't believe what you are missing.

This week I was watching CNN and saw a report about the great way airlines have improved travel conditions for both business class and economy class, some of the improvements to travel are amazing

Lets start with Emirates Airlines, because to me they are the coolest.

This is the main cabin inside the Emirates Airbus A380. Everyone has their own little pod arrangement, as well as individual 17" touchscreens that has a million movie, TV and radio options, as well as access to cameras mounted around the outside of the plane to give you a view of what's going on, including height, distance from airport, and hours left in the flight. With the remote control you can control the position of your seat as well as activate the massage features in the chairs.

Each seat fully reclines to a flat sleeping position, and along with pillows and blankets, passengers are provided with socks to wear, and access to a fully stocked bar that has everything you would need for a long flight.
If you think that's pretty good, business and first class travelers have access to the entire second level of the aircraft that includes 5 of their own washrooms (with showers), another bar and sleeping compartments that completely close, like your own hotel room in the sky. A quick search for prices show you will pay about $19,000 for a return ticket from New York to Dubai. Not too  especially considering you will be able to sleep on most of the 13 hour flight.

The next airline I want to highlight for business is Virgin. Toronto Immigration Lawyers flying from Toronto to London can do it in style, and buzzed check out this bar.
It is fully stocked with anything you would need for a flight. They also have great seats that recline all the way so you can grab a few Z's. They have recently upgraded their first class cabins, but unlike Emirates there is no shower or socks, but you will get a pillow, blankets and more than enough room to stretch out.
Virgin Atlantic's first class lounge is pretty amazing. A flight from New York to London will run you about $10,000 that's a steal compared to Emirates. So the only thing you have left to decide is where you want to go, and get out that credit card.
