My first first class travel outta Naija was in 1981. The experience was sweet. 'First classers' can ask the pilot to pull over to buy gala and bread for their loved ones, it has a swimming pool and a mini football pitch, if u left anything at the airport after take off there is a room there enhanced with grade 1 tech to help u get it back, if u want any meat from cow, goat, snake, dog , fowl...just name it there is an abattoir there where they are slaughtered, d food there is done at most 3minutes even beans, the pilot will drop u at the nearest bus stop to your house/hotel etc

I observed on arik air that, the business class seats are a little bigger and made of different leather sort of. as per what they eat there, I don't have an idea. the curtain is closed when sharing starts and one cannot really tell. in terms of checking in I did not really noticed any preferential treatment on arik sha.

The major difference between a First class flight and an economy flight is the comfort and privacy, when on first class you have more space for your legs but when on economy you can kiss your knees goodbye. There is also a bar at the first class section from which you are served any wine or scotch of your choice you also have your personal TV in front of you. Before the flight leaves the ground some international air company also have First class Terminal for their First Class passenger in this terminal passengers are served desert and wine, the passengers also have the advantage of boarding the plane through a private jetbridge and in most scenarios they are the first set of passenger's on board the airplane. My first time experience on board a first class was in 2009 the flight was from Frankfurt to Ontario.

With first class , you can beat the check in deadline, if you miss your flight you can be fly the next available flight without extra charges , the chair is much more comfortable, most times it can be turned into a bed . In first class you can have sex on the plane , the drink and food is limitless unlike economy that each passenger has a certain portion . Also you don't get to stay in the general area while waiting to board , there are beautiful lounges prepared for you. Lastly as a Nigerian who likes traveling heavy with loads , you have more baggage allowance

They get more attention from the flight attendants.. for example, if you need probably water or food before the flight takes off and you're in business/first class, you would get it. Unlike the economy class when you have to wait till they start sharing and it gets to your turn. The Business/First class seat is far more comfortable than that of the economy and I think they also enjoy in-flight WiFi too. There are so many benefits attached because you'll be treated like a king.

But it's same flight, same take off and landing.

I don't really see something special. They sit in 2s instead 3s, closer to the cockpit,served wine while others are served pop or juic. The question is does it really worth it
Re: What Special Services Do You Receive When You Fly Business/First Class? by Nobody: 1:34pm On Jun 27, 2017
In business class, u meet better behaved and sophisticated people. Unlike economy that is full of touts, bad manners and always fighting. God forbid I enter economy again especially with Nigerians... angry

Nothing special, just for dudes who have too much money to throw around feeling special.

Instead of sitting in 3s, you sit in 2s, not as if there aren't sufficient space in 3s. During checking in, you are given priority, nothing more.

Same aircraft, same take-off, same landing, no remarkable difference.

Except sometimes, you have a screen directly in your front and under your control, but some aircrafts have that facility for all passengers onboard.

So, wtf.

Have you flown 1st before?

For the 'ajepakos' like me who cannot afford to fly Business/First Class at least for the time being, I always book my return ticket in the Economy class.

And I wonder what those, the 'ajebutters' who fly Business/First Class normally receive when the curtains are drawn to prevent us in the Economy wing to see them.


Have you flew Business/First Class before? It could be within the country or to other countries. Kindly share your experiences as a first class pax.


Who knows, if the services are really juicy, I may start to save some extra bucks to book a Business/First Class return ticket to a neighboring country during my annual leave.


@ bigtt76, Jazmiynne, amicable09, davide470, justi4jesu, qualified, ishilove

come and share your experiences here. You all fall under the 'ajebutter' class.

grin

Asides the space and the fact that you can call a hostess with a swing of the finger, nothing much.

Unless, you are flying Emirates or Etihad or BA, or some A-rate airlines. The treatment from the VIP lounge to check-in, to the meals on board (much better than economy class), free wifi, to the space to rest and sleep. It is completely worth it. On the A380, the biggest passenger jet in the world, the space is bigger and you can literally step off the plane and head to a meeting because those on business and first class are allowed to use the showers and spas on board. Yes.

Not sure of airlines in Nigeria, though.

I don't know what they enjoy in First Class and I don't care to know. If they even had attachment, I'll downgrade myself from economy sharp sharp. My own is to reach my destination.

No.

But what's the difference?

You pass through the first class seats heading to the economy seats?

Only difference I observe is just the number of seats per row and other things I have highlighted.

From your question, you seem to assume there are different aircrafts for each class.

Exactly.

No difference, in case of crash, everyone onboard suffers same fate. No special life saving facilities for first class passengers.

Na the same plane ooo but man if you fly first class once you no go ever wan fly economy again. My own rule is that for flights that are less than 3 hours there is no difference but for flights more than 3 hours the difference is worth the price difference. A trial will convince you

The difference is 100percent yard. on emirates flight you get to take shower thou it is not apply to flight flights coming and going out of nigeria but, i know sure there are flights who provide such service. have you drank ,Dom Perignon Champagne before? you will have the oppotunity if your uncle buys you a business class ticket. you get best dishes on board, your blancket is the best....etc. I work with airline and i know what am talking about..pray to get the treatment one day.

Nothing so special about first/business class for local flight. I am about boarding Airpeace business class from Lagos to Calabar, I booked it not because of special status but because of my luggage. I am travelling with 42kg outside hand luggage. To me it doesn't make sense paying for excess luggage of 22kg which is near the cost of business class. Business class luggage allowance is 40kg while economy class is 20kg
