Airlines and Airports That Will Wow Your Clients

Travel agents are always looking to make their client's journey as comfortable as the destination. After all, what fun is it arriving in paradise if you have to go through hell to get there? Well, these airlines and airports will certainly make things easier.

Here is a collection of 25, in no particular order, that will wow your clients.

It's a long haul to Australia, so why not make it in style? Qantas starts by picking you up at home when you're booked into the First Suite, which includes a fully-flat bed and on-demand dining and drink service. You can even get a massage before takeoff. Oh, and there's complimentary jammies for when you sleep.

Airport? More like a theme park. A swimming pool, shopping mall, a four-story slide for kids and a couple of 24-hour movie theaters make this the perfect place to visit without even taking a flight.

Two words: The Residence. This might be the ultimate airline cabin, a virtual three-room hotel suite in the sky that comes with a VIP concierge, butler and chef. Oh, and a nanny if you need it. However, it's pricey-almost $32,000 from New York to Abu Dhabi.

Hamad International is a 5-Star airport according to Skytrax, one of the most honored achievements an airport can receive. In addition to the art exhibits, the facility has a terrific private area for unaccompanied minors with enough games to keep them busy for hours, not to mention a spa and swimming pool for the adults.

One of the best first-class experiences around with private suites, double beds and slippers. Not to mention, Lalique crystal and Wedgewood dinnerware. But Singapore is known for its food, which is extraordinary for airline food.

Imagine, this airline only began in 1985. Now its first-class cabins are being designed by Mercedes Benz and the privacy-where you can shut the door and take a shower-is being shilled by Jennifer Aniston. The communal bar makes it feel like you're at an intimate club instead of flying overseas.

Free wifi, great accessibility, tremendous food options, art exhibits and even a yoga room. SFO tries to make layovers more than comfortable for passengers.

The hip airline from the ultra-cool Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Atlantic's first class features leather seats that turn into beds at the touch of a button and touch screens with internet. All this after your personal chauffeur makes sure you get to the plane on time.

The German carrier recently revamped its first class, with lay-flat seats that are made for tall passengers and a champagne and caviar greeting at takeoff. Need to stretch your legs? Hit the bar for some great cocktails and, of course, German chocolates.

Another Skytrax award winner after being named the World's Best Airport Terminal in 2017. There are no overt displays that necessarily make Munich "luxurious" other than its design makes for one of the best and speediest connections in the world. Oh, and, shopping!

Everything just sounds cooler in French, but the first-class La Premiere experience actually is pretty cool. Every member of the Air France first-class staff is introduced to you and at your beck and call in your private suite. How about some Atlantic lobster for dinner before laying your head on some down pillows?

Lay-flat seats, great wine and terrific food, but maybe the neatest thing in first class is the technology-passengers have the ability to see the same view and scenery that the pilot sees.

This is an up-and-comer. In 2016, Tampa was rated as the best large commercial airport in the country by Phoenix Marketing, which collected opinions from more than 170,000 airport users. Nearly $1 billion has been invested in its renovation.

Like its Middle East counterparts Etihad and Emirates, Qatar Airways is one of the most luxurious airlines in the world. Frette linens line the bed, passengers are gifted amenity kits and the service-as you might suspect-is impeccable.

A gorgeous 400+-room Hilton Hotel is right in the airport, which also boasts a library. No, really, a library.

All the amenities you can imagine are here, but British Airways offers something nobody else can-a very British experience. That includes high tea and scones in the air.

Where else can you get off the plane and buy a $2,000 purse in the Louis Vuitton duty-free store? Incheon has one of the biggest upscale shopping areas of any airport-heck, bigger than most malls. There are also seven tranquil gardens to soothe your psyche and plenty of things for the kiddies to do.

Based in Japan, ANA has a first-class cabin designed to take advantage of every centimeter of available space. That's not to say it's not comfortable; it is. But the increased room in the suite will appeal to many travelers.

Looking for something different that you might not normally see at an airport? How about a cigar lounge? Yep, it's here, along with spinning classes and other great amenities.

Surprised? Don't be. Thai Airways offers what it calls the Royal Class service, with some of the best food and wine available on any airline.

The great thing about Haneda is it's the world's fifth busiest airport, with more than 75 million passengers passing through every year, and yet it remains one of the cleanest and most efficient facilities. The retail stores are also extraordinary.

The U.S.-based carrier has made great strides in recent years with its Polaris business class cabin. United will never compete with the Etihads of this world, but it doesn't have to. Along with all the amenities, the in-flight wifi and entertainment are top-notch.

The airline that serves up some of the best and funniest commercials is also known for superb service in first class, including lay-flat seats, in-flight entertainment and more.

Two of Heathrow's terminals-Terminals 2 and 5-are among the best in the world, with art galleries, lounges, shops and more. Check out Terminal 2 to see the famous Slipstream sculpture.

Statues in your cabin? Statues in your cabin. It's just one reason why the Hong Kong-based airline has been consistently named the best airline at the World Airline Awards. And the food? Primo.
