For most travelers, flying in business and first class, especially on international flights, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A business class ticket can cost up to five times more than an economy ticket on Singapore Airlines — and a whopping 13 times more for a first-class one. As a result, these cabins are often booked by big-time business travelers, or the well heeled, including — to borrow a movie title — crazy rich Asians. A Singapore-to-London economy class ticket on Singapore’s flag carrier, booked about six months in advance, costs 1,700 Singapore dollars ($1,303.68) for a round trip. A business class ticket jumps to SG$6,300, and a first-class ticket just over SG$13,000. Admittedly, the difference can be smaller on shorter-haul flights. For example, a flight with the same conditions from Singapore to Tokyo Haneda airport can cost about SG$1,300 on economy class, just over SG$4,200 on business and SG$7,600 in first class.
