Chapter 62: First Class

   Yang Jing's ticket is on October 20th. It is a British Airways flight from London Heathrow Airport to Yanjing International Airport.

   Because Yang Jing was in a hurry to go home, he chose the only direct flight from London to Yanjing. There are many flights from London to Yanjing, but this one is the only one that can fly directly.

The current international aviation industry is not very good, and the number of four-engine large wide-body passenger aircraft in use is decreasing. With the continuous improvement of aircraft technology, the four-engine large aircraft that originally flew intercontinental flights have gradually been upgraded by technology. It is replaced by an advanced two-engine mid-size airliner.

The biggest cost of passenger aircraft is fuel. Although many two-engine medium-sized passenger aircraft have a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, if you want to fly 10,000 kilometers without landing, the aircraft must take off with full fuel. The load takes off and flies.

   This kind of flight is very fuel-intensive. Generally speaking, full-load take-off and flight consume 40% more fuel than half-load take-off and flight. In the current situation where the aviation industry is not very prosperous, most international flights will choose to take off and fly half-loaded, and then rely on stopovers and refueling to reduce fuel consumption.

   This is the main reason why very few airlines choose direct flights even for the hotline route from London to Yanjing.

   However, there are few direct flights, which does not mean that there are no direct flights. At least, British Airways has one direct flight from London to Yanjing every day, and China Air China also has two direct flights every day.

   But when Yang Jing booked the tickets, there were no tickets for Air China's flights, and only a few tickets for the British Airways flight.

   The ticket that Yang Jing ordered in the evening was the ticket for this flight, and Yang Jing also ordered a first-class ticket extravagantly.

The ticket price of this kind of direct flight is much higher than that of the transit flight. After all, the direct flight only needs more than ten hours to fly in the air to reach Yanjing from London, while transiting to the transit flight. Usually it will be delayed for more than fifteen hours on the road, and some flights may even be delayed for more than a day on the road...

   Yang Jing is now homecoming. He is really unwilling to wait for a minute on the road. How can he order those transit flights?

   Even if the fare of a direct flight is twice or more than the fare of a transit flight, Yang Jing doesn't care.

   There is money in your pocket!

   So Yang Jing ordered a direct flight from London to Yanjing by British Airways.

   When Yang Jing flew from Yanjing to London two years ago, in order to save money, he bought a domestic China Southern Airlines flight from Yanjing to London. Because he was an international student, the fare was cheaper after the discount, only more than 3,400 yuan. As a result, the sins suffered along the way were not mentioned.

   Don’t think that the seats of the plane are so comfortable. If you want to be comfortable, you must at least be in business class or economy class? Don't even think about it.

   It is no exaggeration to say that if you fly a long-distance flight in economy class, it will be no worse than squeezing a hard-seat car during the Chinese Spring Festival. During the Chinese Spring Festival Transport, the hard-seat carriages are certainly very crowded, but at any rate you can still stand on it and occasionally move around. You can fly in economy class. In that small space, you can’t even stretch your legs. Let you stay in this position for more than ten hours in the air...

   Think for yourself!

When Yang Jing came to London two years ago, Yang Jing bought the economy class of China Southern Airlines in order to make it cheaper. As a result, including the transit time and stopover time, it took Yang Jing almost 20 hours to fly from Yanjing to London. Toss him crazy.

   It's not that China Southern Airlines' flights are not good. In fact, China Southern Airlines' service is still top-notch among all domestic airlines. It's just that the economy class of all airplanes is this beating, there is no way. You can't turn economy class into business class, can you?

   To choose economy class, you must be psychologically prepared for abuse.

   The experience of that time has left Yang Jing a huge psychiatrist area, so when he returned to China this time, Yang Jing said that he didn't want to experience that experience again.

   He is not short of money now. A first-class ticket for a direct flight is only more than 10,000 pounds? purchase! Fools don't buy it!

   Not to mention, although it costs a lot of money to buy first class, the service is top-notch.

First of all, let’s talk about going through the security check at the airport. If passengers in economy class want to go through the security check, wait, just wait in line for at least half an hour, but if you hold a first-class ticket, hehe, you can go through the security check in five minutes at most. ——Take the special security check channel for the first class cabin.

   Secondly, when boarding the plane, first-class passengers also have special boarding passages, so there is no need to squeeze a passage with other passengers.

  It’s good to say that a medium-sized airliner that can hold more than 200 people, if you take an Airbus A380 that can hold more than 550 people, and more than 400 people squeeze a gate, it will be enough to make people collapse...

   The plane used by Yang Jing on this flight is the latest Boeing 787-9 twin-engine mid-size passenger plane. Because it is an international flight, there are as many as 24 first-class seats on this plane.

   China Southern Airlines also has a Boeing 787, but most of China Southern Airlines’ first-class cabins have only poor four seats.

   After entering the first-class cabin under the leadership of the stewardess, Yang Jing was also surprised by the luxury of the first-class cabin.

   As expected of first class~lightnovelpub.net~ It’s so spacious!

The first-class seat layout of this Boeing 787-9 "Dream Aircraft" is 1-2-1, that is, there are four first-class seats in a row, one seat on the left and right sides near the porthole, and two in the middle position. The seats are leaned together.

There are six rows of first-class seats like   .

You must know that the area occupied by the twenty-four seats in this area is almost one-third of the entire Boeing 787-9 cabin. The remaining two-thirds in the cabin, 40 business class seats account for half, 229 One economy class seat accounts for half.

  In other words, the cabin area occupied by the 24 seats in the first class is the same as the area occupied by the 229 economy class seats behind!

Can    not be spacious?

   The gap between first class and economy class is not only reflected in space, but the fare is also the most direct manifestation.

   The economy-class fare of this kind of direct flight is as high as nearly 15 thousand yuan, while the first-class fare is 80 thousand yuan! Buying a first-class ticket, you can buy five economy-class tickets and you still have a surplus!

   First-class seats are all similar to small boxes. When you want to be quiet, you can pull up the partitions to form a relatively closed box. Of course, if you want to blend in with flight attendants or other people, pulling down the partition is a big sofa.

   Yang Jing booked the seat in the second row on the front right near the porthole. It is a separate seat, and the two seats in the middle are said to be even able to form a double bed...
