Ever wondered what flying first class is like? This Aussie traveller shows us her $31,000 suite!

You don’t have to be a seasoned traveller to know that flying first class is the crème de la crème of air travel.
It pretty much goes without saying that it’s significantly more expensive than economy class – which is why this is also an experience that many of us could only dream of.
But what exactly does flying first class entail? Well, one Aussie traveller shows us a glimpse of what we’re missing out on.
Everyone loves being able to explore different cultures and meet new people, and although flying can be a bit of a chore – especially when it comes to commercial airlines – which is why more and more people are opting for first-class or business-class tickets whenever they fly!
One traveller recently experienced what it’s like to travel in complete comfort and style when she flew in a first-class suite aboard the Emirates airline.
Paris Marchant and her husband, Lawrence, enjoyed luxury service while flying from Sydney to Paris. They shared that a one-way ticket cost $20,000 (or AUD $31,000) each. That is one hefty price tag!
‘We checked straight into the first-class lounge, ate all the snacks and drank every drink,’ she said.
‘Before we departed, they gave us sweet treats and coffee,’ Paris added.
In the video, she said that the suites are just like ‘five-star hotel rooms’.
‘There’s ample room, they’re super luxurious and really comfortable.’
Paris shows her suite’s leather seats, which can be converted fully into a bed. The ceilings – once the lights are switched off – light up to mimic a ‘starry night sky’.
‘It doesn’t get much better than that on a plane,’ Paris said.
To get privacy, Paris slides her door shut to get some shut-eye or to watch a movie on her own widescreen TV. Yes, every cabin has its own TV, how amazing is that?
The suits are also filled with snacks, from champagne to gourmet meals.
‘The menu was completely on demand, so whenever you want food, you just press the buzzer and they would come,’ she explained.
‘There was caviar – amazing. So much fresh food,’ the 22-year-old entrepreneur added as she panned the camera to show her meals.
Paris was also given a personal hygiene and personal ‘care kit’, that contained deodorant, perfume, and moisturisers.
‘You name it, it was in the kit,’ she shared.
The best part about Paris’ experience was using the ‘shower spa’ while travelling!
‘This is a shower in the sky, which you only get on Emirates first class. Absolutely amazing.’ We couldn’t agree more.
Paris’ video has gone viral on TikTok, with many of her followers saying that they were living vicariously through her.
Others couldn’t contain their jealousy, with some suggesting that the ticket was a ‘waste of money.’
‘Not even in my dreams could I afford this,’ added another.
But others were very supportive of Paris’ lavish lifestyle.
‘You obviously worked very hard to be able to afford it, well done,’ someone said.
And it’s true. Despite being high school dropouts, Paris and her husband own a multi-million-dollar fashion empire called Outcast Clothing, which they launched in 2014.
‘Not bad for a couple of Year 8 dropouts. I’m always pinching and so grateful,’ said Paris.
