The MOST Expensive Plane Tickets in The World

Did you know that while you're on the search for the cheapest airlines, the rich folks of the world continue to avail the most exorbitant airlines for themselves? From private minibars on board the Emirates to the Virgin Atlantic's mouth-watering four-course meal and the Etihad Airways' personal chauffeurs, here are the most expensive plane tickets in the world. New York to Singapore $14,000 Starting off, we have the plane ticket from New York to Singapore with Singapore Airlines, at a whopping price tag of $14,000. Passengers opting for the plane ticket get to enjoy the airline's all-new first-class suites in all their glory. Those hand-stitched luxurious seats and black cushions that cradle your body sound like anyone's dream. To sweeten the deal, there are sliding cabin doors, so you have privacy in your personal paradise. What's more, you get to enjoy a 23-inch LCD entertainment system that comes with 1,800 titles. As far as food goes, you can dine in style on the full-fledged dining table in your cabin, as the top-class gourmet food service caters to you. However, perhaps the most attractive of amenities is the exquisite wine list. While Singapore Airlines is to be commended for this luxury palace in the sky, they might need to up their game considering what Qantas brings to the table. Los Angeles to Melbourne, $14,974 The Qantas connection from LAX to Melbourne offers its passengers a one-of-a-kind first-class experience, all for the price of $14,974. You get to experience the amenities even before you board the plane with a complimentary 20-minute massage at the airport lounge. Also paying that sum gets passengers their very own fireplace. While the idea of an open fireplace thousands of feet in the sky might sound like a fire hazard waiting to open, passengers forget about it as they sink into the plush leather seats and enjoy the fully reclining 6-foot bed. Accompanying the sheepskin mattress is A380's massive entertainment system and top Neil Perry's selection of a la carte dishes like the Moroccan eggplant, snapper poached in garam masala, and calvicious caviar to enjoy as you go through your options. Of course that's nothing compared to the endless array of sake rice wines on board Japan Airlines. Los Angeles to Tokyo, $16,078 For $16,078 passengers can now enjoy the finest first-class suites on Japan's airlines as they take a return plane from Los Angeles to Tokyo. With reclining mattress beds and 23-inch flat screens, the airline promises luxury high in the clouds. You get to enjoy an a la carte comprising both western and Japanese dishes with the appropriate sparkling champagne and sake rice wines of course. The flight is stoked with big names like Isojima, Kamashibito, Kuheiji, and everyone's favorite Barizo. Of course all of it holds a small candle to the actual dim light aesthetic on board Virgin Atlantic. New York to Singapore, $21,000 For $21,000 passengers going for the Virgin Atlantic connection for New York to Singapore are signing up for the sleek and stylish black booths and much more on board the flight. There's a four-course meal as well as an option for breakfast in bed for overnight flights which sounds like anyone's dream. Business folks might take a particular liking to the airline since the built-in swivel technology allows them to carry on business as usual as they take important meetings. They also get to enjoy a bar and lounge area on the plane meant exclusively for first-class members. However, none of it compares to eating a culinary selection by Michelin-starred chef Dominique Gauthier which is exactly what Swiss Air offers its most valued passengers. New York to Singapore, $22,265 Offering the finest of culinary, Swiss Air comes through on its promise of being your home above the clouds. With full-length mattress beds and toiletry packs from leading international brands, the flight oozes nothing but luxury and class. You can avail the extravagant amenities for yourself for the price of $22,265 as you board the flight from New York to Singapore. On top of the added luxuries, you get to enjoy the benefits of free pajamas, tripe miles and quick handling of your which is anyone's bucket list. You also don't have to wait around in lines for boarding and can head straight to the aircraft. Still, none of it can compete with Cathay Pacific's award-winning first-class service. Hong Kong to New York, $26,572 For $26,572, you get to board the airline's Boeing 777-300ER as it takes flight from Hong Kong to New York's JFK. Boasting a unique one-one-one orientation in three rows, the airline more than makes up for the price tag. Boeing's first-class suites prioritize the comfort of its guests. You'll find wine and caviar on the breakfast menu. For the rest of your meals, you can enjoy the flagship's signature Hong Kong dishes, all the while resting up in wide beds and enjoying your personal flat screens. However, even with its long list of amenities, the airline falls a tad bit short of Korean Air. New York to Beijing, $27,000 Korean Air offers a sweet deal for the price of $27,000. As passengers board the flight from New York to Beijing, they can enjoy the airline's signature first-class Cosmo sleeper seats. These futuristic high-tech seats feature 100% reclining abilities. Best of all, you get to control it all with one-touch pads. What's more, you get to have it all to yourself in a timber-paneled enclave that oozes magnificence and class. And if anyone needed more justification for that ridiculous price tag, the Mercury Award-winning in-flight food service should do all the convincing. Safe to say, the amenities on board the flight are those befitting the best flagship carriers. But Etihad Airways still seems to take the win. San Francisco to Abu Dhabi, $28,090 With its regal amenities, the flight with Etihad Airways from San Francisco to Abu Dhabi makes for one of the most expensive plane tickets in the world. Passengers get to enjoy leather seats that can lay down and a 23-inch touchscreen entertainment system, all for the price of $28,090. Best of all, passengers can enjoy their very own private minibar. With Middle Eastern-infused a la carte menus and sleek leather furnishings, Etihad Airways is a popular pick for the rich and wealthy who want to fly to the Emirates in style. The airline is only second best to the well-known Emirates Airlines. Los Angeles to Dubai, $30,000 Passengers who board the Emirates Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Dubai are in for an ultra-luxurious experience. The flight boasts of seats that lie flat, all in the privacy of your personal cabin. There's a minibar as well. However, what really catches the eye is the onboard shower and spa exclusively meant for first-class passengers. Passengers are also treated to a basket of snacks and skin care products. The catch? You have to pay $30,000. Still, even with that price tag, the flight remains popular among VIP businesses and Hollywood A-listers who frequently visit Dubai. Though not as popular as Lufthansa's luxury plane ticket. New York to Hong Kong, $43,535 For the eye-watering price of $43,535, first-class passengers can enjoy valet parking at the airport and even a personal assistant who'll take care of checking in, security, and boarding. The onboard flight experience is out of this world as the plane is fitted with seats that transform into a 78-inch long bed. With temperature-regulating duvets and in-flight humidifiers, we doubt anyone would complain. As you enjoy these amenities, you can order anything of your liking from the Michelin-starred food menu that comes with a Marcus del Monaco-selected wine. Suddenly, the flagship carrier's five-star Skytrax rating makes a whole lot of sense. However, they can't even compare with Etihad Airways' uber-expensive plane ticket. New York to Abu Dhabi, $64,000 With the promise to enjoy 40-square-foot seats that can transform into queen-size beds and onboard shower facilities, there's no better way to fly to Abu Dhabi other than Etihad Airways. The flight from New York to Abu Dhabi fetches a price tag of $64,000. However, with a private chauffeur to follow you around, the hefty sum seems like a small price to pay. What's more, you'll get to enjoy your meals from the well-acclaimed restaurant chain Cipriani. All in all, there are a lot of expensive tickets out there that'll make long flights all the less miserable. As long as you can afford them, of course. But for those who can afford them, they are just another commodity for them to spend their riches on.
