Why Airlines Demand For First-Class Seats Delayed Boeing, Airbus Production Kyle Schwarber [5tkx0WjUnzE]

Airlines like American, Delta, Lufthansa and United are going all-in on big spenders. That means outfitting their planes with first and business class pods and suites that are more luxurious than ever. These seats can be heated or cooled, include ultra-high definition screens and perhaps the most popular innovation: a privacy door.
