The most over-the-top first class cabins {Gadling}

Dec 25th 2009 9:21AM These airlines aren't the usual domestic flights - most of them are international flights, and the tickets for first class aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination. I've flown business class on Cathay (still better than most domestic first class sections) from LA to Hong Kong - paid for by the company I worked for, and it was almost 10 grand round-trip. To fly first class is well over 20 grand, depending on when you go. So yeah, you're definitely paying for what you get and then some. If I ever won mega millions in the lottery, though, I would pay for it in a heart beat. The service is beyond excellent.
