First Class

Travel in style

First Class is the way to travel in style, with wider, reclining seats and more space to work. Each seat has a table and a power point nearby for your laptop or mobile phone. If you'd prefer to sit back and relax, you've got a choice of up to 14 channels on your at seat audio with complimentary headphones. On weekdays, our experienced onboard team will look after you, offering complimentary drinks and food, as well as a free newspaper.
