The majority of airlines offer priority check-in for their business class travelers, while economy class passengers can get stuck standing in lines for hours. Other benefits of business class can also include accelerated security lines, priority boarding and deplaning and even bag delivery.
Business class seats are usually more comfortable than those in economy. Some have more cushioning, additional legroom, advanced lumbar support and increased privacy. Certain planes are even equipped with seats that lie completely flat, a benefit for those red-eye flights.
While economy class passengers may be dining on peanuts and soda, business class travelers often enjoy five-course meals. Some airlines have hired celebrity chefs to put together menus that range from crab cakes to beef tenderloin to ice cream sundaes.
