The perks that turn flying into part of the holiday
Little luxuries that turn a long-haul flight into an experience worth savouring
A trip to Europe is always exciting, but the journey itself can be just as memorable. Airlines have upped their game, offering little luxuries that turn a long-haul flight into an experience worth savouring. These extras aren’t just about indulgence, they can make your travel smoother, more comfortable and, quite simply, more fun.
Emirates: Chauffeur service and beyond
With Emirates, the premium treatment starts before you even leave home. Their chauffeur service whisks you to and from the airport in style. Onboard, expect spacious seats, gourmet dining and world-class entertainment. It’s a seamless way to start your Europe holiday feeling like a VIP.
Singapore Airlines: Book the Cook
Singapore Airlines’ “Book the Cook” service lets you pre-order from a menu of chef-designed dishes. Imagine sitting down to lobster thermidor at 30,000 feet or a perfectly cooked steak tailored to your taste. Add in their impeccable service and elegant cabins, and suddenly your flight feels like fine dining in the sky.
Qatar Airways: Qsuites
Qatar Airways’ Qsuites are often called the best business class in the world, and for good reason. Think fully lie-flat beds, sliding privacy doors, and even family suites that let four seats convert into a shared space. It’s privacy, comfort and connection all rolled into one.
Why they sell out fast
Little luxuries are in high demand. Premium cabins and exclusive extras are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. That’s why booking early is key, especially for Europe, where flights fill quickly during peak seasons.
Why it’s worth it
On a long haul flight to Europe, these touches make all the difference:
-
Comfort: Lie-flat beds and extra space mean you arrive refreshed, not wrecked.
-
Ease: Perks like fast-track boarding and priority baggage save time and stress.
-
Delight: It’s those unexpected details, like a chauffeur or chef meal, that transform a trip from ordinary to extraordinary.
After all, your holiday doesn’t begin when you land in Paris or Rome, it begins the moment you check in.
