The future of First Class is lookin' pretty sweeeeeet

We're pretty sure that in the future, the prospect of a 24-hour flight from Australia to London won't seem too bad – that's if you happen to be lucky enough to fly First Class.

We’re pretty sure that in the future, the prospect of a 24-hour flight from Australia to London won’t seem too bad – that’s if you happen to be lucky enough to fly First Class.

We’re talking pimped-out private suites with king-sized beds (convertible to a comfy couch at the touch of a button), 42-inch TV screens, tablets, and a “smart in-flight service system” designed to anticipate passengers’ needs – it’s pretty much a hotel room above the clouds.

And a hotel room it certainly is: London design firm Seymourpowell’s First Spaces concept is inspired by the luxury boutique hotel experience; it’s just that these rooms will be fitted on a Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger jet.

Seymourpowell found there was a desire for high-end premium service after surveying passengers, and it set out to redefine first class with hotel-inspired suites that are less like a “cubicle”.

Nailed it, guys. N.A.I.L.E.D I.T.

The firm has unveiled designs for six private rooms, each fitted with a retractable door.

It will be just like at home…

Seymourpowell’s concept has been nominated for a Crystal Cabin Award at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany, and we all know how much the Germans appreciate good style.

Do you think this new concept is amazeballs or what?
