More and more airlines are removing first class seats. Just as many resort hotels have removed the world "resort" from their name. It looks better on an expesess account. "..hey boss I didn't fly in first, I flew business class." TB
Qantas is adding capacity in its Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 fleet, but is doing so by reducing its first class seats -- becoming the latest carrier to admit that its much harder to make first class pay off these days.
By replacing first class sections with business class seats in nine of its 747s and almost half its A380s, the carrier estimates it is adding the equivalent capacity of three 747s.
