- While major US airlines have eliminated first class, it still thrives on global carriers.
- Singapore Airlines has been crowned the best first class of 2023 by airline ranking website Skytrax.
- Other top contenders for best first class include Air France, SWISS, All Nippon Airways, and Emirates, known for their luxurious suites.
While US airlines are discontinuing international first class, the cabin remains a lucrative offering for airlines outside the country, and they continue to provide luxurious amenities.
Skytrax, an airline ranking website, recently revealed its annual list of the best airlines in the world, with Singapore Airlines taking the top spot, surpassing long-time winner Qatar Airways. The rankings were determined based on satisfaction surveys from travelers.
Among the awards, Singapore Airlines was recognized for having the best first-class cabin. Following Singapore, Air France, All Nippon Airways, Swiss International Air Lines, and Emirates secured the remaining spots in the top five.
No US carriers made it to the 2023 list, which is not surprising considering that Delta Air Lines and United Airlines phased out long-haul first class years ago, while American Airlines recently announced the discontinuation of international first class in favor of an upgraded business class.
However, the premium offering, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars, remains popular among European and Asian airlines. With the post-pandemic rebound in both business and leisure travel, affluent travelers are eagerly embracing these luxurious options.
Discover the top five first-class cabins for 2023 according to Skytrax, along with an honorable mention chosen by Insider.
