Travelling can be tiresome especially when you are travelling internationally, however, some top-notch facilities such as a queen-sized bed, personal shower, or butler could definitely transform your flying experience into a comforting one.

Here are the 10 most luxurious first-class cabins you can book to enjoy a cosy travel:

10. British Airways' first class cabin on the 787-9 Dreamliner features a 23-inch display screen that is controlled with a touchscreen remote control located in the seat console. Each seat also has two USB ports and a personal locker that comes with a mirror for in-flight touch ups. A one-way ticket from London to New Delhi will set you back about $5,000.

9. The first class cabins on Japan Airlines' Sky Suite 777 have Woodgrain interiors and are closed off from the rest of the plane for added privacy. You can book a flight with the suite next month, but until then there's no word on price. Not only does the private suite turn into a cosy bed, but it comes with a 23-inch LCD monitor also. There's also space for luggage and a power socket so you can charge your devices.

2. This bed on Singapore Airlines may actually be better than most at-home mattresses. The beds are 35 inches wide and 82 inches long on select aircraft and have an additional mattress topper to make them extra comfy. And if you're not ready to sleep, you can still take advantage of the wide seats. You can even get your own private suite on Singapore Airlines. A suite costs around $18,400 round trip.

1. Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, has several luxurious flight options. Those who book the "apartment" experience get an armchair, bed, and personal shower. But it'll cost you upwards of $30,000 for a one-way ticket. The Etihad bathroom comes with toiletries and bathrobes. The Etihad cabin really just about as luxurious as it gets.
