Yang Jing's flight ticket is on October 20, and is a British Airways flight, direct from London Heathrow Airport to Yanjing International Airport.

Because Yang Jing was in a hurry to go home, he chose this only flight from London to Yanjing. There were many flights from London to Yanjing, but this one was the only one who flew directly.

The international aviation industry is not very good now, and the use of four-engine large wide-body passenger aircraft is becoming less and less. With the continuous improvement of aircraft technology, the four-engine large aircraft originally used for intercontinental flights have gradually been replaced by two-engine medium-sized passenger aircraft with more advanced technology.

The biggest cost of passenger aircraft lies in fuel. Although many two-engine medium-sized passenger aircraft now have a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, if you want to fly 10,000 kilometers without landing, the aircraft must take off at full fuel, that is, take off at full load and fly.

Such flights are very fuel-consuming. Generally speaking, taking off with full load is more than taking off with half load, and flying consumes 40% more fuel. In the current situation where the aviation industry is not very prosperous, most international flights will choose to take off with half load, fly, and then rely on stopping and refueling to reduce fuel consumption.

This is the main reason why even hotlines from London to Yanjing are rarely chosen to fly directly.

However, few direct flights do not mean there are no direct flights. At least one flight from London to Yanjing every day, and China's Air China also has two direct flights every day.

However, when Yang Jing booked the ticket, there were no tickets for Air China flights, only a few tickets left for British Airways.

The ticket that Yang Jing ordered in the evening was the ticket for this flight, and Yang Jing also ordered a first-class ticket in luxury.

The price of this kind of direct flight is much higher than that of a flight that is stopped by the transit. After all, direct flights only need to fly in the air for more than ten hours to arrive from London to Yanjing. The transit flights usually delay more than fifteen hours on the road, and some flights may even delay more than one day on the road...

Yang Jing is now homeless and he really doesn't want to stay for a minute on the road. How could he order those flights that are stopped by the transit?

Even if the ticket price of a direct flight is twice or even more than the ticket price of a transit suspension flight, Yang Jing doesn't care.

Is there money in my pocket?

So Yang Jing ordered a direct flight from British Airways to Yanjing from London.

In view of the fact that when Yang Jing flew from Yanjing to London two years ago, in order to save money, he purchased a flight from China Southern Airlines to Yanjing to London. Because he was an international student, the ticket price was cheap after the discount, which was only more than 3,400 yuan. As a result, I was indifferent to the pain along the way.

Don’t think that the seats on the plane are so comfortable. If you want to be comfortable, you must at least be in business class or economy class? Even if you want to think about it, don’t even think about it.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you fly long-distance flights in economy class, it will be less so good than when you squeeze the hard seat car during the Chinese Spring Festival travel rush. Although the hard seat car is very crowded during the Chinese Spring Festival travel rush, you can still stand on it and occasionally move. But when you fly in economy class, you can't even stretch your legs in the narrow space, so you can keep this posture in the air for more than ten hours...

Think about it yourself!

When he came to London two years ago, Yang Jing bought China Southern Airlines' economy class in order to get a cheap price. As a result, Yang Jing took nearly twenty hours to fly from Yanjing to London, and almost made him crazy.

It’s not that China Southern Airlines’ flights are not good. In fact, China Southern Airlines’ services are still top-notch among all domestic airlines. It’s just that the economy class of all aircraft is so bad, there’s no way. You can’t turn economy class into business class, right?

When choosing economy class, you must be mentally prepared to be abused.

That experience has left a huge psychological shadow on Yang Jing, so this time when he returned to China, Yang Jing said that he would not be willing to experience that kind of experience again.

He is not short of money now. Isn’t a first-class ticket for a direct flight only more than 10,000 pounds? Buy it! Just a fool doesn’t buy it!

Not to mention, although I spent a lot of money on buying first class cabin, the service I received was top-notch.

First of all, let’s talk about going through security checks at the airport. If you want to go through security checks, wait. Just queueing will take at least half an hour. But if you hold a first-class air ticket, you can go through security checks in at most five minutes - a special security check passage for first-class cabin.

Secondly, when boarding the plane, first-class passengers also have special boarding channels, so there is no need to squeeze in a single channel with other passengers.

It's okay to say that a medium-sized passenger plane that can pull more than 200 people. If you take the Airbus A380 that can pull more than 550 people and squeeze a boarding gate for more than 400 people, it's enough to make people collapse...

The plane used by Yang Jing is the latest Boeing 787-9 twin-engine medium passenger plane. Because it is an international flight, there are as many as 24 first-class seats on this plane.

China Southern Airlines also has a Boeing 787, but most of the first class of China Southern Airlines only have pitiful four seats.

After entering the first class cabin under the guidance of the flight attendant, Yang Jing was also surprised by the luxury of the first class cabin.

It's worthy of being a first class cabin, so spacious!

The first-class seat layout of this Boeing 787-9 "Dream Aircraft" is 1-2-1, which means there are four first-class seats in a row, with one seat on the left and right sides close to the portholes, and two seats in the middle are close to each other.

There are six rows of first-class seats in total.

You should know that the area occupied by these 24 seats is almost one-third of the entire Boeing 787-9 cabin, with the remaining two-thirds of the cabin, half of the 40 business class seats and half of the 229 economy class seats.

In other words, the cabin area occupied by these 24 seats in the first class is the same as the area occupied by the 229 economy seats in the back!

Can it not be spacious?

The gap between first class and economy class is not only reflected in space, but also the most direct reflection of the fare.

The economy class ticket price for this direct flight is as high as nearly 15,000 national currency, while the first-class ticket price is 84,000 national currency! If you can buy a first-class ticket, you can buy five economy class tickets and bring a surplus!

First class seats are all seats similar to small private rooms. When you want to be quiet, you can pull up the partition so that a relatively closed small private room can be formed. Of course, if you want to collude with a flight attendant or someone else, pulling down the partition will make it a big sofa.

The seats that Yang Jing ordered were the second row of seats close to the porthole in the front right, one alone, and the two seats leaning against each other in the middle can even be put together into a double bed...
