PHOTOS: SEE THE BEST FIRST CLASS AIRLINE SEATS IN THE WORLD

18th place. Flying high! Korean Air's Kosmo suite serves Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rose 1998 champagne and scored three stars for food and wine
It's a tough job but someone had to do it.
Inspired by Eithad's launch of a new First Class luxury suite named 'The Residence', crowd sourcing travel website Flightfox has devised a comprehensive list of the 24 best First Class in-flight cabins from around the world.  
SEE PHOTOS BELOW

To produce the list, they took into account everything from seat configuration, aisle access and suite privacy to the type of champagne served, whether pyjamas were provided and how caviar was plated.

And it also shows the best rate flyers can expect to pay when booking a seat in luxury. 
Singapore Airlines was crowned king of the skies while second place went to Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific and Emirates bagged bronze.
When Eithad's The Residence launches in December it will raise the bar even higher, offering guests a three room fully staffed suite, a chauffeur to a private check-in and lounge, an onboard butler, fine Italian Poltrona Frau leather sofa, two dining tables and - better yet - an in flight personal chef to whip up whatever takes your fancy.
But, for now, you could do a lot worse than booking a first class trip with any airline featured in Flightfox's survey, you'll just need deep pockets.

6th place: Oman Air 's champagne of choice is Taittinger Comtes and your seat comes in a rather fetching turquoise and brown finish

1st place: a guest of Singapore Airlines inspects a double bed in a first class suite on an Airbus A380. They serve 2004 Dom Pérignon champagne

A good night's sleep! American Airline's first class offering was ranked in 23rd place in the survey

3rd place: Emirates provide an onflight bar, pyjamas, limousine and Dom Pérignon champagne to its premier passengers 

2nd place: Cathay Pacific cabin crew will serve you Krug Grand Cuvée champagne, provide pyjamas to sleep in and cook your eggs just how you like them

It's the little details that make the difference. A place to hang your suit and a new issue of of Vogue awaits on Lufthansa, who ranked forth overall

5th place: first class with Lufthansa is expensive - a ticket can cost £3,409 - but they scored five stars for maximum leg room and seat comfort

11th place: Japan Airlines (JAL) gives its customers caviar but only scored three stars in the 'rock star' category factor, a ticket can set you back £2,293

12th place: Air France was awarded four stars for its seating and but just three stars for its food and wine and will bring you Taittinger Comtes champagne

16th place: Swiss International Airlines were the cheapest for a one way first class ticket - £219 from Muscat to Dubai - and will let you use a limousine 

17th place: private chef? Tick. Caviar? Tick. Billecart Salmon Brut Rose champagne? Tick. Garuda Indonesia's first class booths are compact but luxurious 

22nd place: British Airways made the list. They did well on food and serve an a la carte menu followed by a cheese board and fine chocolate.
