Chapter 377 Suites (1/2)
The four of them were in first class.
It was the best choice right now, because they would be going for long trips and more importantly, this was not the typical 'first-class' or the type of 'first-class' cabin of yesteryear.
Many airlines had opted to remove the first-class cabins because it took up too much space and it wasn't often used up. Business-class was upgraded instead. While it was not as luxurious as first class, it was close and did not take up as much space as first-class did.
However, the airline they were on, was one of those few that not only retained their first-class cabins, it was upgradedit.
Some planes had first class, this one had 'suites'.*
It was, literally, a room inside a plane.
The suite cabin only had four suites, with each of its suite being separated by a partition that had a door. The four suites were placed alongside the window with two suites on the left side and two on the right side.
This was the latest suite cabin, and both cabins were actually double cabins. It meant that the wall partition between the two rooms on the left and right could be lowered, so the two single suites combined to become one larger suite.
Of course, Kyle had set it that they would have double cabins, so the partitions were retracted into the ceiling. Kay stayed with Kyle in the double suite on the right, while Xing Han stayed with Sam (much to Sam's dismay) in the double suite on the left.
Each suite had a richly upholstered in full-grain leather by Poltrona Frau single sofa that was reclinable to 45° and freely swivels. There was also a 2m (78 inches) bed, which folds out from the back wall, with several other components of the suite lowering to accommodate the mattress.
There was even a dining/living area that had a 32” touchscreen monitor in high definition paired with noise-cancelling headphones. A table that was enough for one (two, when you combine the rooms) that one could do work or have their meals. There were power points whereby one could plug in their devices and a small shelf to put their work or devices.
There was also an ensuite wardrobe that was spacious enough to put your cabin luggage and hang clothes.
In addition, it was wall to wall comfort. From the hand-tufted carpets to the ultra-leather padded compartments, everything was like a hotel room.
As Kyle and Kay entered their suite, Kyle couldn't help but be impressed.
