The greatest airplane beds in the sky
The most luxurious thing in the sky is to stretch out on a fully flat bed and sleep your way through a night flight, arriving refreshed the next morning.
It can certainly be pricey, though, with many business class seats running into the thousands of dollars, and first class sometimes into the tens of thousands.
But whether you’ve managed to fork over the fare (or the frequent flier miles) for the very best of first class before it disappears from our skies, or are flying the increasingly attainable yet increasingly luxurious business class, these are some of the best beds in both classes for you to consider.

JetBlue shows it means business with its new Transatlantic Mint product
JetBlue has been long touting its desire to compete on the Transatlantic market. With the recent exit of Norwegian’s long haul operations, there’s certainly a slot to be filled in competitively priced disrupters, and JetBlue has jumped at the opportunity. However, it certainly means business, trying to take a slice of the highly lucrative Transatlantic Business Class market with a totally reimagined version of its popular Mint experience.
In comparison to its original 2014 product, JetBlue’s first complete redesign of Mint again sets a new standard – this time on transatlantic flights – featuring 24 private suites with a sliding door for every Mint customer, a custom-designed seat cushion by Tuft & Needle, and countless design touches that help every customer feel at home in the air.
Passenger refuses to get off Southwest Airlines flight
This incident involves a passenger who refused to get off a Southwest Airlines flight. No, to be clear, she wasn’t being kicked off the plane, she was just being asked to deplane at the end of the flight. I’ve certainly had some flights that I wish didn’t end (like when I flew the Etihad Residence), but I’m not sure that’s what was going on here…
Nowadays airlines encourage passengers to deplane one row at a time to minimize the amount of crowding in the aisle. In a 36 second video, a passenger can be seen staying seated when it’s her turn to deplane.
