Class Conscious – All-Premium-Class Airlines

Class Conscious – All-Premium-Class Airlines- The advent of all-premium airlines has radically transformed international travel, bringing with it a great measure of civility.

 
 

Eos is arguably the most upscale of all the all-premium class airlines and passengers can expect nothing less than first-class service and amenities. The moment you arrive at the kerbside of Stansted airport, Eos representatives will personally escort you through the check-in process; straight past the security to the plush Club 48 lounge where there are 50" widescreen televisions, individual computer workstations, wi-fi access and multi-course hot meal service (at the JFK airport, Eos shares the new Emirates lounge). Instead of the usual three hours, now you can simply waltz in to the terminal as late as 45 minutes prior to departure.

 
 

Hop on board into one of the plane's 48 deluxe 'suites', each of which has 21 square feet of personal space and an 87-inch flat bed. Every seat has its personal entertainment system which means you get your own tabletop DVD player and set of Bose noise-cancelling headphones that reduce stressful cabin noise. Dine whenever it suits you as the gourmet meals are served only upon demand, to the accompaniment of a flute of Taittinger or premier wines, cocktails and juice.

 
 

Service is highly personalized - four to six flight attendants are on board the plane, meaning there is an 8-to-1 guest-to-staff ratio. If you prefer to sleep uninterrupted during the evening flight to London, have your dinner at the lounge before the flight or simply inform your flight attendants who will turn down your bed after take-off, and let your snooze through the flight in the comfort of your full-sized pillows and cashmere blankets. Upon landing, when you're ready to exit the aircraft, the attendants will then personally hand you your packed breakfast.

 
 

Return fares start from US$3,500 and Eos flies between London's Stansted and New York JFK 32 times every week.
