You'll get a 24-hour concierge service, access to a swanky lounge, a comfy seat that turns into a bed, and food and drink non-stop.

Whether you're a frequent flier or have only flown a handful of times, chances are you've seen proof of how luxurious an experience in first class can be.

However, on some airlines, business class can provide an equally pampering journey — and a trip doesn't have to break the bank.
