Best First Class: Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines spares no expense for its first class fliers, providing full beds, plush sleep suits, and food whenever you want it.

For those flying into Asia for business, being comfortable during the 20-plus hour flight is well worth the expense. Singapore Airlines has some of the most extravagant first-class features of any airline. Passengers choose between Dom Perignon and Krug champagne, and can have food whenever they want it, whether it is a five-course blowout or a quick bite. Singapore Airlines' first-class experience is all about pampering its fliers. Each first-class passenger is given an exquisite toiletry kit from Ferragamo, and is supplied with sleep suits and slippers from Givenchy. With 82-inch long seats that flatten into beds with sheets, a down duvet, and oversize pillows, you'll wish the plane would never land.

COST: From New York to Shanghai (each way): $8,751.
