While the vast majority of fliers are feeling the squeeze with tighter and tighter economy seats (we’re looking at you, American Airlines) and downright frightening customer-service disasters (United), we might well be witnessing the dawn of a new golden age of travel in the business-class section.

British Airways created a “Club Class” between first and coach back in 1978, while Qantas coined the actual term “business class” a year later.
