Most of the time, the airlines deliver by offering luxury features like extensive entertainment systems or in-flight chefs.

High-spending customers are hugely important to airlines, which is why they're often willing to go to such lengths to pamper them and make sure they have an excellent flight experience.
But sometimes, passengers take advantage of all the great designer bedding and amenities offered by the flights by quietly slipping blankets or headphones into their carry on luggage before leaving. Other products, however, have to be left behind, like a bottle of Dom Pérignon, for example.
