Lack of customer interest and cost pressures have prompted the world\u2019s largest air carrier, American Airlines, to get rid of the luxurious and expensive first class from its 47 Boeing 777-200 long-haul international flights.<\/p>\n
No longer will customers enjoy being pampered and spoilt on international flights; not that many customers are interested in paying premium charges for such facilities any longer. And American Airlines is not the only global airline company to consider such a move. Delta Air Lines has already abandoned first class and is offering lie-flat beds in business cabins as its most luxurious option for its elite customers.<\/p>\n
Second only to American Airlines, United Airlines has reduced the three-class option and is offering first class on a limited number of routes. Domestic travelers can enjoy first class only on the airline\u2019s Airbus A321T, which is operating on the New York-Los Angeles and New York-San Francisco route.<\/p>\n
As fewer customers are inclined to pay for such tickets, American Airlines has decided to refit its 777-200s with flat business seats. Although more comfortable and luxurious as compared to Economy, these seats don\u2019t offer pajamas, slippers, or amuse-bouches, which were considered par for the course for those used to first-class pampering.<\/p>\n
