For many people, flying can be kind of a bummer. There are long lines at the airport, delayed flights, time changes, cold airplanes, lackluster food, and just generally being super uncomfortable. It can almost seem like it's too exhausting to actually get to your destination even though, of course, you can't wait to go on your long-awaited vacation.

For most of us, flying first class is totally out of the question. We can hope and dream (and dream some more) but it's never going to be affordable. That doesn't mean that we don't have questions, of course.

Since we won't get to experience these luxury traveling experiences ourselves, we'll just have to listen to the people who are lucky enough to do it for us.

Here are 20 things that only people who fly first class can tell us about these airlines.

 

20 When You Fly First Class On Air France, You Get To Dine At Fancy Restaurants In Paris

According to One Mile At A Time, people who fly first class on Air France can make reservations at five different restaurants in Paris, and they are the best of the best. At one called Restaurant l’Atelier Etoile by Chef Joel Robuchon, you get "A VIP welcome and the chance to personalize your menu."

19 It's Caviar And An Actual Spa Before The Flight On Cathay Pacific First Class

According to Chicago Business, there is not only caviar served when you fly Cathay Pacific First Class, but before you board the plane, there's a spa experience waiting for you.

Imagine feeling that relaxed before you even start your trip. It sounds too good to be true (and for many of us, it totally is since we couldn't afford it... sigh).

18 Porter Airlines Has Free Sandwiches, Candy, And Any Drink You Dream Of

What it's like to fly first class on Porter? According to someone who posted on Reddit, flying business class on this airline is the same as first-class.

As they shared, "Coffee, tea, pop, juice, cookies, chips, candy, sandwiches, you name it. On board you got a complimentary gourmet meal with a glass of wine."

17 You Can Actually Take A Shower With Etihad First Class

It sounds absolutely wild to imagine taking a shower on an airplane. How could that even be possible? And wouldn't it be kind of gross?

Well, forget about normal airplane bathrooms because, according to Chicago Business, if you fly Ethiad First Class, you get a shower. That sounds so lovely.

16 There's A Personal Chef On Air France Who Cooks Everything To Your Liking

What about flying first class on Air France? It sounds like an incredible experience if you want a personal chef who can cook for you... which of course you would love.

Thanks to this Reddit post, we know all about this awesome perk: "With Air France they had an on-board chef to individually make the meals."

15 The Windows On Emirates First Class Have 'Virtual High-Resolution Views'

When you fly first class on Emirates, you get an incredible view which sounds so much better than anything in the other classes. The Points Guy explains, "Emirates installed virtual windows on these planes that use exterior cameras to give passengers in the middle seats a high resolution view of the scenery."

14 Air Canada's Business Class Gives You A Comfy Pod Area Plus Tons Of Food

The Points Guy flew business class on Air Canada and shared that you get a really huge variety of food (and a huge amount, too). You get a snack of nuts, a three-course meal, then a cheese plate, then ice cream for dessert, then some fruit and sandwiches before landing. And your pod area looks super comfy, too.

13 You'll Get PJs by Givenchy on Air France's la Première First Class Airline

Chicago Business says that flying Air France's first-class means getting PJ's that were designed by Givenchy. That is incredibly cool news and would really make you feel like you were having a truly luxurious trip. It almost wouldn't matter where you were actually flying to.

12 Each First Class Washroom On Etihad Is Fit For A Fancy House

According to Independent.co.uk, the washrooms in first class on Etihad are super nice. This is the best news ever because, sure, we might not get to see this firsthand... but it's just nice to hear about fancy, beautiful plane washrooms. That didn't seem like it was possible at all.

11 Emirates First Class Gives Each Passenger A Mini Bar

Independent.co.uk says that if you fly first class on Emirates, you get a minibar.

It's tough to wrap our heads around this amazing perk, and in the photo on the left, we can see how adorable and cool it is. Maybe we should start saving our money now? (Just kidding... That would take forever.)

10 Singapore Airlines First-Class Suites Are Literally Like Mini Apartments

Chicago Business says that Singapore Airlines allows you to fly in great style as you get so much room and space.

As we can see from this picture, it literally looks like a mini apartment. It's definitely a lot swankier than a lot of apartments that people actually live in.

9 For Only $18,000 On Etihad Airways A380 The Residence, You Have A Butler And A Suite With Three Rooms

Let's forget for a second that we could never spend almost $20,000 on a plane ticket and pretend that we would be able to experience this luxury situation on Etihad Airways A380 The Residence.

Travel Zoo says you not only get three entire rooms on this plane but you also have a butler.

8 Garuda Indonesia Gives You A Closet (What?!) Plus Nice Toiletries

According to One Mile At A Time, Garuda Indonesia has a literal closet as part of its first-class experience. That would be incredible enough... but you also get this super nice toiletries case.

The perks of flying first-class seem to be that they think of everything for you. That would be so lovely to experience.

7 On British Airways, First Class Means A Delicious Afternoon Tea Service Plus The Most Luxurious Seats

According to Business Insider, British Airways first class has an amazing afternoon tea. The seats are also super luxurious as we can see from the picture on the left.

Seriously, can we get some of those seats for our apartments? We would love to sit in them while watching Netflix. It would be the best.

6 You Could Get A Massage From The Bed On Scandinavian Airlines

Travel Zoo says that the beds on Scandinavian Airlines have massage abilities, which sounds too good to be true, again, but in the world of first-class flying, everything seems to be totally possible. It's a wonderful universe... and one that we sadly probably won't get to see. But we definitely want to read about it.

5 Delta First Class Gives You Good-For-You Snacks And Starbucks

News.delta.com says that Delta first class has better snacks that aren't the typical junk food that you see, along with coffee from Starbucks.

That last part alone would be worth the higher ticket price. Imagine not having to stand in line at the crowded airport Starbucks, hoping that it'll go faster and that you won't miss your flight.

4 You Can Enjoy Ice Cream Sundaes On United

According to Ranker, people who fly first class on United can get ice cream sundaes. We're sorry, did they say ice cream sundaes?!

We're unbelievably envious that people get to fly first class on this airline and not only experience comfier, bigger seats, but they get ice cream, too.

3 Japan Airlines Has A Gorgeous Area Made Of Wood

According to The Luxury Travel Expert, flying first class on Japan Airlines means being visually treated to your own little area that has wood. As we can see from the photo on the left, this is absolutely gorgeous, and definitely much nicer than the interior of most planes that we've been on.

2 Qantas Gives You Wine Pairings For An Eight-Course Menu

Ranker says that if you fly first class on Qantas, you're going to get wine pairings and an eight-course menu.

That is so much more elegant than most restaurant experiences, and it's crazy to imagine getting to enjoy such a long meal on a plane. It beats any kind of airport food or typical plane food, that's for sure.

1 Customers Are Treated To Italian Or Japanese Cuisine On All Nippon Airways

Airplane food isn't generally very interesting and there isn't usually a variety when it comes to the types of meals that are served. You get some dry chicken or maybe some pasta. Ranker says that Nippon Airways treats customers to Italian or Japanese cuisine, which is amazing to hear about.
