The World's Best First Class Lounges

We've jealously posted here a number of times about the amenities of flying First Class.

First Class, however, begins long before ever stepping foot on a plane. First Class actually begins the moment you step into the airport and make your way to the First Class lounge.

While the rest of us are stuffed into overcrowded terminals awaiting our flights, the denizens of the First Class lounge have an array of luxuries in which to indulge.

Personally, I've never stepped foot into these halls of airport nirvana, but thanks to a recent article in Business 2.0 revealing some of the very best in the world, I can now speak jealously of what exactly I am missing.

The article highlights three lounges at London Heathrow (Virgin Atlantic), Hong Kong International (Cathay Pacific) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia Airlines). In addition, writer Lindsay Blakely also covers Doha International Airport in Qatar in which an entire terminal is dedicated to First Class passengers.

Here are just a few of the amenities offered. Click on the links below to learn which lounge offers which service. And then book yourself a First Class ticket to enjoy your favorite.
