Having flown to Shanghai and Tokyo (and back again) in the past two weeks, my back and legs are in a state that could only be described as shattered. I’d give serious money for this concept cabin Airbus has up its design sleeves — but I probably don’t have enough serious money to even get near the escape hatch.
Comlux offers this sweet looking VIP charter service, which was recently on show at the Moscow Jet Expo. It’s a custom build within an Airbus ACJ318 and seats up to nineteen passengers, with two bedrooms and bathrooms thrown into the mix. That’s a fair bit more comfort than your average poky economy seat, although no pricing was listed. I’d say that in the best clichéd tradition, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

We think of this sort of stuff as pretty unique, but they’ve always done it. Back when commercial airlines first started they were far, far, far more luxurious than they are now, but the flights took sooo much longer with way more stopoffs of course.
Then there were the German Zeppelins, which were way more comfortable and high-class than anything flying now.
And then of course stuff like Starship which Led Zeppelin and many other bands leased in the 70s. :)
