  • In-flight entertainment screens with movies, games, and live flight maps.
  • Windows that automatically dim electronically instead of using manual shades.
  • Wi-Fi connectivity for browsing and messaging during flights.
  • Mood lighting inside cabins that changes colors during takeoff, meals, or night flights.
  • Lie-flat business class seats that turn into beds.
  • USB charging ports and power sockets at seats.
  • Cameras outside the aircraft showing live views during takeoff and landing.
  • Smart overhead bins designed to fit more luggage efficiently.
  • Advanced autopilot systems that assist pilots during long flights.

Honestly, modern airplanes feel more like flying smart technology spaces now rather than just simple transport vehicles.

If you’re going to travel in the first-class of the likes of Etihad, Emirates, Qatar Airways or Virgin Atlantic, you will see plenty of incredible features and facilities that you can only think of.

One of the features I love in these luxury class is closed door suite. It’s like a private room that you get in theair.These suites completely redefine thetravelingcomfort concept. A delight, really! It’s like a 7 star room. Really.

Also, such airplanes provide you the facility of taking shower. Imagine, 1000 ft above land and taking shower!

Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of cool features and facilities that such airlines offer. Like instant messaging option where you can talk to individuals sittingindifferent seats. Getting your personal cabinets and wooden tablesarealso very amazing fortravelingon an airplane.

I once went on a Lufthansa flight which had the coolest windows ever!

Ordinary windows in planes have the 3-glass organized window sheet with a shade that can be pulled down in the event that you want murkiness.

Given that it was a late night flight, I needed to go to sleep. I got to my seat and promptly saw something bizarre about the window - no shade to pull down!

Underneath the window, there was a semi-roundabout dark catch. What I didn't see, was the other semi-roundabout half by the dark catch, was itself a catch, however white in shading. Since the body of the airplane is white, it mixed in and wasn't completely excessively evident to me.

I hit the dark catch once, however didn't see any noticeable change. Depleted, I attempted to rest.

Part of the way through the flight, I really wanted to hit the dark catch on numerous occasions. What's more, that is the point at which I witnessed it. The window continued getting darker till it nearly passed out any light originating from outside! The catch tinted the window (electronically???) increasingly more with each press, evacuating the requirement for window conceals.

I at that point saw the white catch above it which did the inverse.

The COOLEST windows ever!
