Where luxury meets the clouds
I've just returned from a thrilling inaugural flight with Beond Airlines from Zurich to the Maldives, and I'm buzzing with excitement to share every detail of this luxury experience. Imagine soaring through the clouds in what feels like a private jet – that was my journey with Beond!
Boarding Beond: A First Impression:
Stepping onto Beond's Airbus A319, I was instantly struck by the chic and spacious cabin. With just 44 seats that transform into dreamy 180-degree flat beds, comfort was at its peak. The excitement was akin to boarding a private jet – pure, unadulterated luxury!
Settling In:
Once I settled into my seat, the friendly cabin crew offered me a glass of delicious champagne, the perfect start to a luxurious journey. The menus presented to us were beautifully designed, echoing the elegance of a Michelin-starred restaurant. This attention to detail set the tone for what was to come.
Luxury in the Clouds:
The in-flight experience with Beond is unparalleled. The plush seats, designed by Optimares (the same people who designed the seats for the Four Seasons private jet), offered unmatched comfort. The gourmet meals, served on exquisite William Edwards fine China and elegant Robert Welch silverware, were a culinary delight.
In-Flight Entertainment and Comfort:
Each passenger had access to an iPad loaded with a wide array of entertainment options, paired with wireless Beats headphones – a touch that merged luxury with the latest technology. The cosy plush blankets and pillows ensured I drifted off into a peaceful sleep, waking up refreshed and ready to explore the paradise that awaited in the Maldives.
Widening Horizons:
Currently connecting the Maldives to Munich, Riyadh, and Zurich, Beond is soon adding Milan and Dubai to its list of destinations. As a UK-based traveller, I'm eager to see them add the United Kingdom to this list. My journey from Zurich, seamlessly connecting with British Airways from London City, was hassle-free and convenient.
Affordable Luxury:
Beond Airlines stands out with its impressive combination of affordable luxury, offering fares around €1,500 one way. Their approach of using single-aisle, cost-effective aircraft without sacrificing comfort is a testament to their ingenuity in air travel. This innovative strategy, spearheaded by Tero Taskila, Max Nilov, and Sascha Feuerherd, demonstrates how luxury and affordability can coexist, reshaping our expectations of air travel.
Final Thoughts: Beond Airlines
My experience with Beond Airlines was more than a flight; it was a journey wrapped in comfort, elegance, and impeccable service. They're not just an airline; they are a luxury travel experience set to redefine what we expect from the skies.
