I am excited to share the experience of traveling in business class for the first time. In December, my husband and I went to the U.S. from India in business class seating. We were very grateful for the experience!

My First Impression

The seating in the business class area was excellent and very spacious. The airplane was designed to give business class passengers their own pod-like sections for comfort and privacy. Usually, when I fly, I breeze past the luxury seating and make my way to the coach section without thinking twice. But this time, I was excited to sit in a different section of the plane in such elevated seating.

Imposter Syndrome

I had a bit of imposter syndrome when I first got to my seat, to be honest. I initially did not feel like I belonged because I did not see anyone else who looked like my husband and me. But after a while, I got comfortable and enjoyed my time.

Traveling with My Husband

I am grateful because I shared this business-class flight experience with my husband, Gozie. We had so much fun figuring out how things worked in our seating areas. You have to check out the video to see what I mean.

Business Class Food

Can we talk about food? I enjoy plane food on international flights; it’s pretty good. However, the food served to business-class airplane passengers takes the experience to the next level. Eating airplane food using real plates, cutlery, and napkins was foreign to me. I felt spoiled.

Equitable Travel for All

Traveling in business class seating and higher should be an experience everyone should have at least once. I wish experiences like this were more accessible and equitable to all. But sadly, they are not. I hope that by sharing this experience, you become inspired to dream and see yourself in positions that elevate your life and make you feel special. That is what this trip did for me, and I cannot wait to have more experiences like this one.
