When it comes to flying with exclusivity and comfort, we usually think of commercial flights in first class or air taxi. Regardless of the modality chosen, customers have a series of amenities that are not found in economy class or even in business class. In this text, we are going to tell you about the experiences that customers can have on airlines, as well as with air taxi companies in Brazil.
First Class: Convenience Beyond Aircraft
First class is the pinnacle of comfort and exclusivity in commercial aviation. Contrary to what many people think, the convenience for these customers starts long before they board the aircraft. A common practice among airlines is to separate, at the time of check-in and baggage dispatch, a queue just to serve these passengers.
This differentiated service can also be seen at immigration at several airports, especially in North America and Europe. Through agreements signed between airlines, airport administrators, and local authorities, first class customers can pass through immigration in an exclusive queue, much faster than that dedicated to economy.
While most passengers in economy class have to wait for boarding in a common area, first class or business class customers have at their disposal VIP lounges. In these spaces, they can enjoy a rich buffet, with a variety of food and beverage options. They also feature comfortable seating, work desks with power outlets to charge your notebook or cell phone, and space for entertainment or relaxation. In some, it is possible to take a shower, sleep in rooms, and even have a massage. This convenience also extends to the moment of boarding. First class customers are the first to board the plane, without having to wait long minutes in line.
The experience of those who choose to fly with air taxi companies in Brazil is very similar to that of first class customers. However, it has a very attractive differential: privacy. No wonder that many artists, sportsmen, and politicians prefer to fly by air taxi instead of first class. This is especially so because the airports where executive aviation operates are different from those in commercial aviation. In addition to avoiding prying eyes, air taxi customers are quicker to access the departure lounge and pass through immigration procedures.
The waiting room for executive aviation is already a real VIP room. There, customers can relax on comfortable sofas, use work desks, and enjoy a buffet with food and drinks available. The exclusivity for air taxi customers is even greater, as the VIP space for commercial flights is also open to economy customers who have a premium credit card or miles accumulated with their airlines. This does not occur in executive aviation, and only passengers on their flights are allowed to enter.
Flying Quarters
Business class already has a number of advantages over economy class, such as more comfortable seats, greater legroom, a larger in-flight entertainment screen, and more dining options. However, this doesn’t even compare to the experience offered by first class. While some airlines’ business class products have five dining options, first class can have up to 25 dishes available to their customers. And that’s not even the biggest gimmick.
On many airlines, first class customers fly in real rooms. In their rooms, passengers find a work desk, closet, minibar, and even an armchair that converts into a double bed. Some airlines in the Middle East even provide a hot shower for passengers to shower before landing. All this convenience comes at a price. A flight in the first class product of this company, which even allows bathing on board, can cost up to 50 thousand reais per person.
Air taxi companies in Brazil, on the other hand, have what is most exclusive for their customers. A Gulfstream jet has the same first-class amenities as an Airbus A380, such as a double bed, on-board Wi-Fi, a galley complete with microwave and mini-fridge, and a toilet that can be fitted with a shower.
First Class or Air Taxi?
The great difference between air taxis and airlines’ first class is the wider range of destinations. Commercial aviation offers few domestic business class segments. Even first class is restricted to some international segments. Air taxi companies in Brazil, on the other hand, have several categories of planes and helicopters, in which customers can fly between Brazilian cities or even to international destinations such as Miami and Lisbon non-stop. Yes, as explained in this text, it is possible to hire an air taxi for international flights. Another advantage is that you can adjust the flight according to your schedule, as you choose the date and time you want.
