Over the past year, there have been some pretty huge advancements to luxury flying, and although there are a ton of in-air suites that have gotten bigger, having a bed on a plane that can lie fully flat is a traveler's dream—which is exactly what Abercrombie & Kent is introducing to its private jet service in the fall.
The seats will feature a personal massage system and give travelers plenty of control with adjustable headrests and lumbar supports. When it's time for some shut eye, the seats are equipped with privacy screens and are capable of reclining to span a full 6.5', providing plenty of space to stretch out, which seems surprising for a small jet. Of course, booking a seat isn't cheap, with tickets starting at $108,000 per person.
