The face of first class travel has evolved beyond all recognition. Even the term ‘first class seat’ seems something of a misnomer these days with airlines now offering full-fledged private cabins to attract premium fliers. But in this massive game of aeronautical one-upmanship, whose product truly stands out? Here are Gafencu’s Top 3 First Class picks.

#3 &#8211; <a href="http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/hk/home">Singapore Airlines</a>
Singapore’s flagship carrier nabs the number three spot with its new state-of-the-art First Class design. Currently being fitted on all A380s in its fleet, each roomy first class suite comes with its own standalone bed and separate leather armchair. Adjoining suites can be transformed into a double room, which is perfect for couples or families.
Enjoy a wide array of fine dining choices, take in over 1,000 entertainment options on your 23-inch personal screen with Bose headphones, or take advantage of the personal turndown service and get a good night’s sleep!

#2 &#8211; <a href="https://www.emirates.com/hk/english/">Emirates</a>
Emirates’ First Class private suites are our number two pick. Each Mercedes Benz-inspired cabin comes replete with sliding doors for complete privacy, personal mini bar and Bulgari amenity kits. Perhaps the best amenities of all are the Hydra Active Microcapsule-infused pyjamas, eye mask and slippers. Touted as the world’s first moisturising sleepwear, they release rejuvenating sea kelp nutrients against your skin as you sleep.
Head to the onboard lounge to grab a cocktail and socialise with your fellow passengers. Or refresh yourself with a hot shower at the Shower Spa. If you’re truly feeling lazy, you don’t even need to leave your cabin. Just call up room service and the flight attendants will bring you anything you fancy.

#1 &#8211; <a href="http://www.etihad.com/en/plan-and-book/book-flights/">Etihad Airways</a>
Coming in at the top of our list, Etihad Airways has truly taken first class travel to new heights with its ‘The Residence’ experience. Each 125-square-foot private cabin boasts not one, not two, but three rooms for maximum space and luxury. There’s a personal Savoy-trained butler to take care of all your in-flight needs, an onboard chef to whip up whatever your taste buds fancy and even a lifestyle concierge team to plan activities for your trip. &nbsp;
On top of that, there are also roundtrip chauffeur-driven transfers and private check-in facilities. This seamlessly luxurious door-to-door service that Etihad provides for its top guests is what truly makes it our pick for top First Class experience.
