A second home to affluent frequent flyers, First Class airport lounges are designed to make you feel like a VIP, whilst amenities and services should help you relax before, or in between flights.
Some airlines go the extra mile when it comes to their lounge offering, making the airport experience a truly special one, with little extravagant benefits for the discerned traveller.
The following first class lounges from top airlines show how hospitality and travel go hand in hand and special service makes all the difference, when choosing a carrier for an upper class flight.

Sit back, relax and enjoy some gourmet cuisine at the in-lounge restaurant, where your meal is served to the table, while you wait for your flight to board. Once it is time to go, you will be escorted to the tarmac and driven straight to your aircraft in a Porsche or Mercedes, to make sure you board in style.
