I don’t know what airlines you’re looking at but business class is not above 1st class on any airline know of.
Hi, I myself cannot answer your first question about why the first class ticket costs more than the business class ticket? all i can think of is that there were very few less business class tickets left and no first class tickets.. or it was just probably an error on whatever you looked for the tickets.
To tell the truth basically on most European/Asia/Pacific airlines business class and first class can be very similar but a big price difference. You are always going to pay at least anywhere between 4 to 8 times as much for a business class ticket than an economy class ticket and between business and first class you could pay thousands more on top too! But too be honest on very good airlines you get very similar amenities and food but the seats are a bit bigger and more leg room in first class than business class even though in business class you have more than enough, however you will probably notice better service in first class because there are few seats compared to business class Amenities seeing as you asked can include toileteries e.g toothbrushes, face mask, skin creams, socks, and on very good airlines such as Qantas you get pyjamas.
The break down for the classes are:
*Coach class/economy class= lowest class that the majority of people fly in, little leg room, no special service really.
*Business class= Huge difference to economy class, Far more expensive than economy class, Minority of people fly in this on any aircraft, lots of legroom, wide seats, often sleeper beds, access to business class lounge, better service than economy.
*First class= Most expensive class to fly in, absolute minority of passengers fly on this on any aircraft (if even available quite often only business and economy class), basically the same as business class except everything a little bit better+better service.
Hope i could help! If you ask me though i would only pay to fly business class not first class, the difference between them is not worth the price difference..business class is great and expensive enough!
