Airbus A350 Airspace First Class:
The Future of Luxury Flying Revealed
News
By PrestigeFly
Airbus has unveiled its Airspace First Class concept for the A350, setting a new benchmark for ultra-luxury aviation. We analyze whether this design - likely to be adopted by airlines like Lufthansa and Cathay Pacific - justifies its rumored $20,000+ price tag.
The Game-Changing Features
🛋️ The Suite Revolution
- Industry-first sliding privacy walls (create a 10 sqm private room)
- Convertible "double suite" for couples/families
- First fully-flat queen-sized bed in the sky (78" long)
🎛️ Next-Gen Amenities
- 32-inch 8K OLED screens with Bluetooth cinema sound
- AI mood lighting that syncs with flight phases
- Vitality sensors adjusting temperature/humidity per passenger
✈️ A350-Specific Advantages
- Quieter cabins (5dB lower than 777X)
- Higher humidity (20% vs typical 10-12%)
- Wider windows with electrochromic shading
PrestigeFly First Look Verdict
✅ Worth It For:
- 12+ hour flights (especially Middle East-US routes)
- High-net-worth individuals valuing absolute privacy
⚠️ Considerations:
- Likely only 4-6 suites per aircraft
- 30-50% heavier than current first class = potential mileage surcharges
