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

Because Yang Jing was anxious to go home, she chose the only direct flight from London to Yanjing. There are many flights from London to Yanjing, and this is the only direct flight.

At present, the international aviation industry is not very good, and the number of four large wide body aircraft is becoming less and less. With the continuous improvement of aircraft technology, the four large aircraft originally flying intercontinental flights began to be gradually replaced by two medium-sized aircraft with more advanced technology.

The biggest cost of airliners lies in fuel. Now, although many two medium-sized airliners have a range of more than 10000 kilometers, if they want to fly 10000 kilometers without landing, the aircraft must take off at full fuel, that is, take off and fly at full load.

Such a flight consumes a lot of fuel. Generally speaking, taking off with full load consumes 40% more fuel than taking off with half load. When the aviation industry is in recession, the vast majority of international flights will choose to take off and fly at half load, and then rely on stopover and refueling to reduce fuel consumption.

This is the main reason why few airlines choose direct flights even for the hotline routes of London feiyanjing.

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

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

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

The ticket price of such direct flights is much higher than that of transit stops. After all, direct flights only need to fly in the air for a little more than 10 hours to arrive in Yanjing from London, while transit stops usually delay more than 15 hours on the road, and some flights will even delay more than a day on the road

Yang Jing's heart is like an arrow now. He really doesn't want to stay more than a minute on the road. How can he order those transit flights?

Yang Jing doesn't care even if the ticket price of direct flight is twice or more than that of transit stop flight.

Money in your pocket!

So Yang Jing ordered British Airways to fly directly from London to Yanjing.

Two years ago, when Yang Jing flew from Yanjing to London, in order to save money, she bought the flight of China Southern Airlines from Yanjing to London. Because she was an international student, the ticket price after discount was cheap, only more than 3400 yuan. As a result, let alone the sins suffered along the way.

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

It is no exaggeration to say that if you fly economy class on a long-distance flight, it is no worse than squeezing hard seat carriages during the Chinese Spring Festival transportation. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the hard seat carriage is very crowded, but at least you can stand on it and move occasionally. You can fly in economy class. In that narrow space, you can't even stretch your legs. You can keep this position in the air for more than ten hours

Think for yourself!

When she came to London two years ago, Yang Jing bought the economy class of China Southern Airlines in order to make it cheaper. As a result, including the transit stop time, it took nearly 20 hours for Yang Jing to fly from Yanjing to London, which almost drove him crazy.

It's not that China Southern Airlines' flights are bad. In fact, China Southern Airlines' services are still top among all domestic airlines. It's just that the economy class of all planes is beating. There's no way. You can't turn economy class into business class, can you?

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

That experience has left a huge psychological shadow area for Yang Jing. Therefore, when returning home this time, Yang Jing said nothing and was unwilling to experience that experience again.

He doesn't need money now. Isn't a first-class ticket on a direct flight only more than 10000 pounds? Buy! Fools don't buy it!

Not to mention, although it cost a lot more to buy first class, the service received was top-notch.

First, let's talk about the security check at the airport. If economy class passengers want to have security check, wait. Just queue up for at least half an hour, but if you hold a first-class ticket, hey hey, you can pass the security check in five minutes at most - take the special security check channel for first-class.

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

It's better to say that a medium-sized airliner that can pull more than 200 people is enough to collapse if you take the Airbus A380 that can pull more than 550 people and squeeze more than 400 people into a boarding gate

Yang Jing's flight uses the latest Boeing 787-9 twin engine medium-sized passenger plane. Because it is an international flight, there are as many as 24 first-class seats on the plane.

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

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

It's really first class. It's so spacious!

The first-class seat layout of the Boeing 787-9 "dream aircraft" is 1-2-1, that is, there are four first-class seats in a row, one seat on the left and right near the porthole, and two seats close to each other in the middle.

There are six rows of such first-class seats.

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

In other words, the 24 seats in first class occupy the same area as the 229 economy class seats in the back!

Can't it be spacious?

The gap between first class and economy class is not only reflected in space, but also in ticket prices.

The economy class ticket price of this direct flight is also close to 15000 national dollars, while the ticket price of first class is 84000 national dollars! Buy a first-class ticket. You can buy five economy class tickets with a surplus!

First class seats are 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 mingle with the stewardess or others, pulling down the partition is a big sofa.

Yang Jing's reserved seat is the seat near the porthole in the second row in the front right. It is said that the two seats in the middle can even be combined into a double bed

PS: bow and thank "Kunpeng 3357" 200 for the reward, "hyqwas", "Ziyan Tianjiao", "riding a turtle to heaven" and "see others at the light" 100 for the reward!
