What about privacy in a First Class suite…?
Maximum comfort, exclusive services (mini-bar, 23-inch personal screen and more of 600 channels available), traveling and feeling like in a hotel room (with sliding doors and an extension seat like a bed): these are the travel features offered in some airlines’ suites.
A luxury travel, available to people that can spend a lot of money.
We would like to know your experience (or if you have heard about it):
This type of travel guarantees maximum privacy to passengers?
Did you really have got the feeling of being indoors in YOUR hotel room (even if it is a room with…wings)?
Could you have the right relax for sleeping as if there was no one else around?
Do you need other features to get your privacy as well?
We would like to heard different experiences and opinions about it …

I haven’t experienced these private suites, but I had the opportunity to fly IAH-DOH on Qatar Airways in their business class and I was very happy with the experience.
There was no first class, but the business class experience was as good as a lot of first class products.
Of particular interest to me was the fact the seats were arranged in a fairly traditional 2-2-2 configuration. There was not a lot of the plastic monuments that other carriers have used to create privacy (generally in higher density business classes).
The 2-2-2 meant you were sitting close to another person, but the wide seat and the overall feeling of space, plus the generous seat pitch gave a very spacious feel.
I felt that this spacious feel was preferable to a more cramped ‘private’ setup that I have experienced on other aircraft and I feel the feeling of overall ‘space’ is critical to enjoying a flight.
There was enough space between the seats to feel that you weren’t encroaching in each other’s personal space, even if you knew they were there and I had no issues in sleeping.
I can see the attraction of a ‘private cabin’ feel, but it would need to be of a size that it gave a sense of spaciousness. Using dividers etc. primarily as a means to enable higher seating density may be counterproductive as ‘private’ becomes simply ‘cramped’.
It would be great to experience the private cabins to see how they work out on a flight.
