Best Business Class Lounges In The World

Airlines are locked in a fierce battle to outdo each other, especially as far as their business classes are concerned. In order to attract more passengers airlines continually try to improve their business class, making it more and more luxurious. And this competition is not simply limited to the air, it also rages on the ground; in the lounges of airlines – more specifically the business class lounges. Flying business class means you’ll be treated in a similar manner at the airport, you’ll relax, eat and – if you want – work in a peaceful and comfortable setting away from the noise and traffic of the main airport. Here is a list of the best business class lounges in the world.

Singapore Airlines

Their SilverKris lounges’ have a cozy and innovative design which feels more like a home than an airport lounge. It brings to mind a comfortable living/dining room of a wealthy mansion. There are signature armchairs for you to rest on, and if you want to get some work done before the flight, practically designed productivity pods. And of course the menu on offer is delicious, should you feel hungry.

Emirates

The Emirates business lounges provide passengers with a number of ways to relax, aside from the comfortable seats and loungers, a travel can take a shower, a soothing spa, massage and a beauty treatment. Plasma TVs are put up throughout the space, and a wide variety of drinks are available. The lounge at Dubai is the most impressive, from which you can directly board the plane.

Etihad

An international buffet or an a la carte meal, complimentary treatments at the Six Sense Spa, free high speed internet, shower rooms and a variety of magazines and books at your disposal to while away the time. The amenities are a class apart, just like the airline.

Virgin Atlantic

The most eccentric lounge on the list, Virgin Atlantic’s Clubhouses – as they are named – look and feel exactly like they are named. They are very colorful and give the feel of a trendy café/club. They include uptown cocktail bars, dens for gamers and entertainment zone. The environment is quite social. The ones at Heathrow, Gatwick and JFK stand out.

British Airways

A contrast to the liveliness of Virgin Atlantic’s Clubhouse, British Airways offers its passengers a tranquil and tasteful lounge in which they can rest themselves perfectly before a flight. They have the choice between the Galleries lounge with its chilled champagne and the Terraces Lounge with a World Wine Bar. There are separate work and entertainment zones.

Qatar Airways
