Interesting concept for business class from @zipai Interesting concept for business class from @zipair.tokyo_official No IFE, no extras just a fully flatbed seat. You can pay for a premium package that gives you all the frills for not much extra. At around £400 for a 7 hour flight I’d be very tempted by this. Be interesting to see if other airlines try it. Photo by @geram23 Would you try it for that price? #instaviation #instaplane #avgeek #businessclassflyer #cheapflights #japantravel #luxurytravel
