I prefer to fly Business Class when I travel for work for a number of reasons.
First, there's more room in the seats and in the cabin generally, in fact almost as much as they allocate to First Class. As I am a big guy, by body size, that sure comes in handy.
Second, pretty much all the Business Class passengers are seasoned travellers, who know what they want and what they expect from the airline, so the cabin staff are also likely to be experienced, capable and very friendly, trying hard to please and retain these regular passengers.
Third, Business Class tends to be a bit of a club for these regular travellers (in fact, is called Club Class on some airlines) and can be quite relaxed about all the normal airline rules by comparison with the other normal airline Classes. I find that relaxed atmosphere to suit my nature and preferences well.
Last, of all the airline Classes, if a flight is not fully booked, it's most likely that the one with less passengers and more empty seats will be Business. This makes some specific flights even more relaxed and, at the same time, can lead to the few passengers flying in that Class getting a whole lot more attention from the Cabin Staff, even to the Flight Attendants sitting down with non-sleeping passengers and chatting for hours at a time.
Actually, there are occasional flights where there may be only one or two passengers in the Class but with the full complement of Flight Attendants. It is one such flight that led to the following experience.
I was departing a major middle-Eastern country on one of their airlines, booked all the way through via Bahrain and Bangkok to my home destination of Sydney in Australia. On embarkation, I noticed that I was one of only two Business Class passengers, the other being a minor local Sheikh who it turned out was only travelling the short hop to Bahrain for a weekend out of the tight non-alcoholic laws of his own country.
He had, of course, chosen my airline so that, immediately into the flight, he could obtain his first scotch whiskey of the weekend, as this airline allowed that to all its passengers on outbound flights. He spent his time in his whiskey and I had a couple of quick cold flutes of complimentary champagne, followed by a cleansing beer.
In Bahrain, the same aircraft was continuing through for the entire flight. The Sheikh disembarked, but I decided to remain on the aircraft, one of few to do so, as the airline generally liked to clean up the aircraft a bit while on the ground after each leg.
As the first leg had been so short and with only two passengers, the Flight Attendants had little to do and were quite happy to leave me there with an extra beer to be going on with. So was I.
I had expected the Business Class cabin to have filled up when the flight was getting ready to depart on the next leg but was surprised to find that as the cabin staff were bustling around, making ready to depart, I was still the only passenger there. In fact, only in Bangkok would more passengers being joining Business Class. It was also a point not lost on the Flight Attendants themselves, most of whom would be hugely bored with no-one to look after on a long leg.
As both the other classes were completely full and the cabin staff in those classes were likely to be run off their feet, the Business Class girls started to discuss whether they would redeploy themselves to assist in those classes. Of course, I was the only "thorn in this ointment". What would they do with me?
Would they shift me to one of the other classes, with the possible problem that I might be both very uncomfortable and very unhappy if they were forced to downgrade me? Or would they leave me where I was, which meant at least one of their number needed to remain with me, to look after me, keeping me happy and fully satisfied?
Gladly for me, they decided on the latter, leading to the realisation of a long-held fantasy on that long night flight. I was to remain in Business Class, along with a pretty young Irish Flight Attendant named Helen, petite, slim and willowy. It seemed she was the youngest and least experienced of the crew, but perfectly capable, and she also seemed quite shy and quiet compared to the other more exuberant girls. I didn't mind that, though, as I am quite partial to quiet women.
She was also a style of woman that I am especially partial to. As I mentioned, petite, slim and willowy, with pale-ish red hair (sort of mixed with blonde) and fair skin without being extremely pale or hugely freckled. For a short girl, her legs gave the impression of some length rather than being stumpy, she had slim but undoubtedly womanly hips and the swell of her pert upturned breasts pushed out the material of her flight uniform just nicely. But, of course, I didn't notice all of this. Much!
