Sleeping Accommodations
Upgrading to First Class typically means that the seats are slightly larger, with more room to stretch your legs out and enjoy the journey. Fewer passengers also mean more space to store your luggage, as well as a quieter travel environment. Upgrades on overnight travel may include the option to have a private en-suite bathroom in your sleeper cabin.
