Premium airline products have come a long way over the years, and they just keep getting better. While many airlines have chosen to eliminate international first class, other airlines continue to invest heavily in it, and we keep seeing impressive new products introduced.

The two most exciting are AF and SQ.
Probably because they're the ones I fly the most, so I'm certainly biased.
Looks great. Not a fan of the seat+bed concept. Just seems like awkward wasted space
More space around the seat for bags and just put a more comfortable seat / bed combo in the middle of the suite for a feeling of space. Both SQ A380 new F and EY's Apartment have the same terrible combination a sub-optimal bed that is too narrow/hard and a sub-optimal seat that doesn't adjust properly for lounging so they can claim they have a seat AND a bed. I wouldn't pay cash for either product as a result when I'm happy to pay cash for EK and AF F. This is presumably why Ben ranks JL and EK new F as better than those products in both cases.
I came across this seat the other day looking at what BA's new first class might look like (given they used them before). But on reading your article I was struck by its resemblance to the AF concept art (though only 3 windows now 5): https://www.executivetraveller.com/acumen-future-first-class-suite
Well I just flew the Emirates “Game Changer” and I’m good! Thank you very much! 😉
I’d like to fly it from HND to DXB, then home to Dulles with a shower for what might be my final (never say never) Round the World trip next summer
In the meantime I have 4 legs in Cathay Pacific (one operated by QR) and two layovers in HKG. A double loop of >35,000 miles with Finair and SQ Biz
Another SQ Suites after StarLux Biz then LH B747-8i First
QR First for 100K AA miles - DCA - SYD in AA First for 70K then EY Apartment. Home on BA First
I’m getting to old to do much more.
It’s been a good life. 🙂
