I've never been on a private jet ( My experience is limited to F on EK) but know several people who use them regularly. AFAIK there are not that many private jets (that can be leased/chartered)with the same specs as the F suite on a 380. Of course there is EK 's own version of the same but I'm not sure about its availability .

From what I have heard from my mates ( and seeing the pics from several PJ trips) the service/food/ cabin features like ICE seem to be much better on F on EK than on a PJ.Obviously they dont have a choice while going on business trips but a F seat on a proper commercial airliner would be their first choice when travelling for leisure .


Also note that I am not comparing an american carriers F seat with a PJ. A PJ makes more sense in the US. My opinion is about the Europe/Middle east/South Asian region(this thread is on the Emirates Skywards section after all)

First cabins might disappear on carriers from the West but are likely to thrive in the Middle Eastern/Asian carriers . F cabins are frequently full on several sectors on EK and obviously EK and other airlines won't have them if they are not viable. Etihad would not also plan an apartment suite if it was not worth the effort.
