Now, higher fare gets your better air

Forget the galling difference in seat comfort, legroom and cabin service between first class and economy, the class divide will now even extend to the very air both segments breathe in the same aircraft.

Germany's mega airline group Lufthansa has installed humidifiers in the first class of its Airbus A-380s -- including the ones that fly to Delhi. Thanks to this premium flyers will no longer wilt in the typically dry cabin air that leaves eyes red, throats parched and skin dehydrated.

Lufthansa chairman and CEO Carsten Spohr updated TOI earlier this week in Warsaw about this development, saying, "It (the humidifier) gives a totally different experience. Passengers arrive in a much better shape after a long-haul flight."
