Aside from extra leg room to stretch out, comfortable seating and free inflight entertainment, what else should passengers flying first class always make sure to request (and receive) when they fly? GOBankingRates has the answers for you.

Your dining experience just got a little more delicious in first class. Depending on the length of your flight, passengers may receive anything from a meal box to fine dining options available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Flights up to 2,299 miles include a chef-curated breakfast on departures for 5 AM to 9:45 AM flights, lunch on 9:46 AM to 3:59 PM flights and dinner on 4 PM to 8:59 PM flights along with a selection of snacks.

Many airlines also partner with world-renowned chefs to ensure your dining experience feels less like you’re on an airplane and more like you’re actually in a restaurant. United Airlines has partnered with The Trotter Project to offer first class passengers restaurant-quality dining while they fly. This includes premium snacks, fresh fruit, refreshments or a full meal service with two entrée choices.

Those traveling on Mint with JetBlue will enjoy a custom version of Master & Dynamic’s MH40 noise-isolating headphones.

First class passengers should always inquire about any amenity kits offered during domestic and international travel. 

Mint with JetBlue offers wellness kits from Wanderfuel with a unique assortment of travel essentials to its passengers. Amenity kits on long-haul international flights, like United Polaris, include sleep-themed amenities like Sunday Riley skincare items for extra relaxation and moisturization, ear plugs and an ergonomic eye mask.
