Airbus A321neo business class gains first class appeal
Oct 28, 2020, 03:26 PMLot of hyperbole here: "business class seat with just about everything you’d expect from a first class suite". Really? Maybe if the majority of First trips are on America's airlines. What's missing here is space and windows, a value consideration for First-ticket buyers.

What I do is check online the flights I want to take and then ring the Service Centre to see whether they will apply the upgrade on these flights and, if yes, we go ahead and book Fre...
