Flying can be extremely tiresome, boring and downright annoying. But nothing makes it more worthwhile than flying executive class, larger seats, better service, and the use of private lounges to work away in. And nothing smell like business class more than deluxe airport lounges.

The London Heathrow Clubhouse by Virgin Atlantic is a $21 Million, 27,000 square foot retreat. Complete with a spa, exclusive dining options, arcade, wifi business facilities and all around relaxing business environment.

Hong Kong Pier and Wing by Cathay Pacific holds two lounges with 80 personal living spaces comprising of five foot wide offices with desks, computer and phones. There is also a marble shower suite and private cabanas to relax in. Of course there are private video games and an 80 foot long bar to sit at.

Kuala Lumpur has the Golden Lounge that is for premium class airport travelers only. Its putting green, buffet, and business center ensure a relaxing atmosphere. And it doesn’t stop there, like the other executive business class airport getaways, the Malaysia Airlines facility has a Relaxation Room with massage chairs.

Qatar’s Doho International Premium terminal has a $90 Million 100,000 square foot terminal exclusively for first class and business class travelers. Porters take bags and show you to all of the luxuries that you could imagine. From soothing fountains, to business centers with secretaries and wifi, to a 24 hour walk in clinic, and massage center with jacuzzi. When its time to leave, a lounge staff member will gently notify you and a private car will also take you away to your flight.
