Fare from New York to Frankfurt: $4,970

Here are some of their amenities: adjustable privacy screens between seats, generous room to stretch and chefs and sommeliers continuously update their onboard cuisine and wine selection.

All the first-class passengers can rest in their carrier’s airport lounge, but if you’re a Lufthansa first-class passenger in Frankfurt, you will have your own terminal. It’s only one example of how this carrier cares about its privileged clients. Today you as a first-class flyer can enjoy Lufthansa Media World on board, too. Basically, it’s a multimedia system which has enough audio, video and games to keep you occupied for a few journeys around the world. Accommodations aboard certain carriers are still wished to be better. But Lufthansa would rather not fall into that category, as their sleeper seats are up to 92 inches apart and extend six feet, six inches.
