First-class cabins are no longer defined by plush leather seats or extended legroom alone. It must truly capture the essence of what it means to be in the top 1%, with service and amenities that match.

On the new British Airways flights heading to certain parts of the U.S., the airline debuts new first-class cabins and suits designed by Forpeople. Based on their extensive experience with high-end transportation and luxury design, the firm focused on refinement rather than being different for the sake of being different. That meant that robustness and build quality were at the forefront of their consideration. What better way to communicate luxury than with that intangible sense of craftsmanship.
