Airlines propose private rooms as ultimate in luxury travel


It is the vital room with a view, but at £3,497 for a 12-hour stay, the tariff means that reservations are harshly for the wealthy.

Airlines have started to propose private cabins for those who do not have their own jet but require a little more privacy on their journeys.

Aimed at businessmen, sportsmen, celebrities and couples on their honeymoon, they come inclusive with 6ft 7ins bed, leather interior, wash unit and room service.

So far three airlines have fitted planes with cabins as well as Singapore Airlines which has 12 on board its Heathrow to Singapore flight; Etihad also has 12 on its flight to Abu Dhabi, though Emirates has 14 cabins on its seven-hour flight to Dubai.

Other perks of travelling super first class include a 23-inch television, inbuilt massager, cuisine chosen by a "International Culinary Panel" chefs, and a choice of champagne: Billecart-Salmon, Brut Blanc de Blancs 2002 or Baudry Brut Rose. For those who similar to a little home from home Ovaltine, hot chocolate and Horlicks are also all on the room service menu.
