First to Board, First to Disembark<\/h2>\n<p>Boarding is quick and simple when you get to board the plane first. While everyone else is battling other passengers for overhead locker space, you will be settling in to comfort with a welcome drink. At the end of your journey, you will be one of the first to disembark the aircraft with minimal delay and baggage is usually on priority, meaning you will be out of the airport much quicker.<\/p>\n<h2>4. On Board Comfort<\/h2>\n<p>Wine, dine and recline&nbsp;in your comfortable seat that reclines at the touch of a button. The seating configuration is generally 2-2-2, meaning there\u2019s more space and fewer people in the cabin. There is generally a higher staff to passenger ratio in Business Class as well, so you will experience personalized service. Your seat and luxurious comfort are the biggest bonuses when travelling in Business Class. You will be able to put your feet up, stretch out and lay back to allow you to arrive in China rested and ready to take on the Great Wall!<\/p>\n<h2>5.
