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

Because Yang Jing was in a hurry to go home, he chose the only direct flight from London to Yanjing. There are many flights from London to Yanjing, but this one is the only direct flight.

Now the international aviation industry is not very good, and the number of four-engine large wide-body passenger aircraft is decreasing. With the continuous improvement of aircraft technology, the four-engine large aircraft that originally flew intercontinental flights have gradually been replaced by technological improvements. advanced two-engine midsize airliner.

The biggest cost of airliners is fuel. Although many medium-sized airliners with two engines have a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, if they want to fly 10,000 kilometers without landing, the aircraft must take off with full fuel. The load takes off and flies.

This kind of flight consumes a lot of fuel. Generally speaking, a full-load takeoff and flight consumes 40% more fuel than a half-load takeoff and flight. In the current recession of the aviation industry, the vast majority of international flights will choose to take off and fly with a half-load, and then rely on the way of stopping and refueling to reduce fuel consumption.

This is the main reason why few airlines choose direct flights even for the hotline route from London to Yanjing.

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

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

The ticket that Yang Jing ordered at night was the ticket for this flight, and Yang Jing also ordered a first-class ticket extravagantly.

The air ticket price of this kind of direct flight is much higher than that of a flight with a stopover. After all, a direct flight only takes a little more than ten hours in the air to arrive in Yanjing from London, while a flight with a stopover Usually there will be a delay of more than fifteen hours on the road, and some flights will even be delayed for more than a day on the road

Yang Jing is eager to return home now, and he really doesn't want to stay for a minute longer on the road, so why would he order those flights with transit stops?

Yang Jing doesn't care even if the fare of a direct flight is double or even more than that of a transit flight.

Do you have money in your pocket?

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

In view of the fact that when Yang Jing flew from Yanjing to London two years ago, in order to save money, he bought a domestic China Southern Airlines flight from Yanjing to London. Because he is an international student, the ticket price is cheaper after the discount, only more than 3,400 yuan. As a result, the suffering along the way was nothing to mention.

Don't think that the seats on the plane are so comfortable. If you want to be comfortable, you have to be at least business class, economy class? Don't even think about it.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you take economy class on a long-distance flight, the sourness is not much worse than the hard-seat compartment during the Chinese Spring Festival travel rush. During the Chinese Spring Festival travel season, the hard-seat carriages are very crowded, but at least you can still stand on them, and occasionally move around. You can fly in the economy class, the narrow space, you can’t even stretch your legs, and then let you maintain this position in the air for more than ten hours

Think for yourself!

When he came to London two years ago, Yang Jing bought the economy class of China Southern Airlines for the sake of cheapness. As a result, counting the transit time, it took Yang Jing nearly 20 hours to fly from Yanjing to London. Drive him crazy.

It's not that China Southern's flights are bad. In fact, China Southern's service is considered top-notch among all domestic airlines. It's just that the economy class of all planes is this beating, there is no way. You can't turn economy class into business class, can you?

If you choose economy class, you must be mentally prepared to be abused.

That experience had already left a huge psychological shadow on Yang Jing, so when he returned to China this time, Yang Jing was unwilling to experience that experience again no matter what.

He is not short of money now, isn't a first-class ticket for a non-stop flight only more than 10,000 pounds? purchase! A fool would not buy it!

Not to mention, even though buying a first-class cabin cost a lot of money, the service I received was top-notch.

First of all, let’s talk about going through the security check at the airport. Passengers in the economy class want to go through the security check. Just wait. Just waiting in line will take at least half an hour. But if you have a first-class ticket, hey, you can go through the security check in up to five minutes. ——Take the dedicated security channel for first-class cabins.

Secondly, when boarding the plane, first-class passengers also have a special boarding channel, so they don't have to squeeze into a channel with other passengers.

It’s okay to say that a medium-sized airliner that can carry more than 200 people, but if you take an Airbus A380 that can carry more than 550 people, and more than 400 people squeeze into one boarding gate, it is enough to make people collapse.

The plane that Yang Jing took on this flight was the latest Boeing 787-9 twin-engine medium-sized airliner. Because it was an international flight, there were as many as 24 first-class seats on this plane.

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

After entering the first-class cabin under the leadership of the stewardess, Yang Jing was also surprised by the luxury of the first-class cabin.

As expected of a first-class cabin, it's so spacious!

The first-class seat layout of this Boeing 787-9 Dream Plane is 1-2-1, that is, there are four first-class seats in a row, one seat on the left and right sides near the porthole, and two seats in the middle. The seats are close together.

There are six rows of such first-class seats.

You must know that the area occupied by the twenty-four seats is almost one-third of the entire Boeing 787-9 cabin, and the remaining two-thirds of the cabin, 40 business class seats account for half, 229 half of the seats in economy class.

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

Can it be spacious?

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

The economy class ticket price of this direct flight is as high as nearly 15,000 RMB, while the first class ticket price is 84,000 RMB! If you buy a first-class ticket, you can buy five economy-class tickets with extra!

The first-class seats are all similar to small boxes. When you want to be quiet, you can pull up the partition to form a relatively closed small box. Of course, if you want to flirt with the stewardess or others, you can pull down the partition to get a big sofa.

The seat that Yang Jing booked was the seat in the second row on the front right near the porthole, one alone, and the two seats in the middle are said to be even able to form a double bed
