Published: 29/06/08
First class seating on most long haul aircrafts now becoming more revolutionised offering more home comforts like getting ready for a day's worth of meetings by waking up from a good nights sleep and having a shave, brushing your teeth, combing your hair and getting dressed.
This is now whats being offered on most overnight flights to New York in first class for example and on other first class routes.
Increasing numbers of airlines are offering flat-bed seats in business and first class seating.
The new flat bed seats are not like the lie flat seats where they were reclined to an almost flat position, the new flat bed seats recline to a full 180 degrees.
The bed dimensions vary depending on the airline: Virgin Atlantics seat length is 79.5 inches; British Airways is 72 inches in business class and 78 inches in first class.
