One way they do this is through premium cabins that become more luxurious and lavish every year, so much so that you might not want to leave the plane at all. Here are some of the year's most notable innovations in the field.
The business class of the French airline is known as one of the best in the world. The company, which recently resumed flights to Israel, does so with the latest Airbus A350 aircraft, featuring the most up-to-date business class in the sky.

In the past year, more and more planes from the German airline Lufthansa have added "Allegris" cabins, a term that includes both business and first-class cabins.

Alongside the plush beds, you'll find a work desk, a large screen, a wardrobe, unique lighting, and wireless headphones.
We waited a long time to see innovations in the field by the British aviation giant, and this past year it happened. The British aviation giant renewed its first-class cabins on the A380 aircraft.

After the shower and award-winning entertainment system, what hasn't been said about the luxury cabins of the Dubai aviation giant.

Unfortunately, even when they renew their flights to the country, the company is not expected to operate the aircraft on the route to Israel.
Although Air India's premium cabins are not considered the most luxurious in the world, even there you can choose between traditional Indian dishes and a more contemporary menu, and of course, a glass of champagne will accompany the meal to complete the experience.
Similar to its sister company Lufthansa, SWISS's premium cabins have undergone significant upgrades in recent years.

It's tough to compete with the standards set by airlines from the United Arab Emirates. First-class customers of Etihad, considered one of the best in the world, can enjoy personal service even before boarding the plane.

The new suites from the airline from Hong Kong, called ARIA, are considered the most advanced in their field. These are private areas with smart display screens, wireless chargers for all types of smartphones, and unique fabric seats.
