The Next Installment of Luxury Goods and Services



Piling on the Luxury. (The New York Times, 5/7/2014)

Looking forward to my coach flight to Rome on May 31st.  For most travelers, flying in style may be a thing of the past, but airlines are determined to bring back some glamour to air travel, at least for those sitting in the front of the plane. 

  • Flat beds and fluffy pillows, 
  • fancy wines and four-course meals, 
  • designer-brand pajamas and luxurious vanity kits — 
these options have become the staple of business-class travel these days.
