1. Leg room in each class is different. (Coach being the most crowded)

2. Amenities – business class and first class have different food service, beverage service, and extra’s that you won’t be offered in coach.

Where are you flying from? Long flight means zero as heres the point. Spend $12000, 7000, 5000 , 2500 or 1000. You still get there and that money saved by flying in a lower class can be spent on a great meal and things to take home later.

most aircraft now only have either first or business rarely both
the aircraft is divided up into 3 sections:
first /business /coach
rule of thumb is the more expensive the ticket the less restrictions apply
with first your ticket is the most expensive and the most amenities
business much the same as first except geared more to the business traveller but the fares are a little less and some restrictions may apply
coach is everything else beyond these sections and this is where the fares range drastically
they range from full fare (highest fare for this category)coach tickets without restrictions to the most restrictive with the lowest fares (super seat sales)
using a national carrier or one of the big guys is the best bet as airlines tend to be in financial trouble a lot
hope this helps

The difference between first/business class and coach is signicant. The comfort level, service, and food is tremendously better. I have flown to Italy first class and it was excellent. Flew to Spain the next year in coach and it was like night and day. On long flights it is especially better considering the time you'll spend in the air. However, you do pay a much higher premium to fly up front. If you have it in your budget, i definitely recommend it.

Coach = working class, the poor buggers that do all the hard graft that these snooty gtits look down on.

Business =- Half snooty, or people that think they are cos the have a few bob and a pin stripe suit on.

1st class = The right snooty hooray Henrie’s, the snobs who mustn’t be seen mingling with the working class, as it spoils their image.

first= biggest seats,lots of space,and nothing but attention.

business= big seats,quietness,medium attention,more for business trips.

coach= small seats,no room,small amounts of attention

try first costs a lot but worth it.

Lots of room. International business class is about like domestic first class.Also, lots of money.
As for airline, find one who offers nonstop service, or same airline service.If you’re in Philadelphia, Air France has daily nonstop service. If you live in Columbia, SC, then, US Air to Charlotte and then on to Paris would work,
or, Delta to Atlanta then Delta to Paris. Changing airlines reduces a risk of lost luggage, plus it could result in a cheaper fare.

From where – try Virgin Airlines if they fly from your town, city country.
The price difference is why the cattle are kept in the coach seats – pay anything up to 3 times the amount for business and maybe up to 10 times for 1st class
