Underrated Airlines That Offer First-Class Comfort at Economy Prices

18. Philippine Airlines

Philippine Airlines may not always make the “best of” lists, but it should—especially for business class travelers looking for comfort on a budget. The airline’s A350 and A330 aircraft offer modern cabins with lie-flat beds, high-quality in-flight entertainment, and excellent cuisine blending Asian and Western influences. Their warm and hospitable cabin crew adds a touch of luxury to every journey. Fares between North America and Southeast Asia can be significantly cheaper than competitors, and their frequent sales make upgrading more attainable. It’s a hidden gem for long-haul comfort.
