What it's like to fly in Air Canada's business class 'executive pods,' complete with lie-flat beds, a remote that lets you order food, and lighting that claims to help with jet lag

Whether you're a frequent flier or have only flown a handful of times, chances are you've seen proof of how luxurious an experience in first class can be.

However, on some airlines, business class can provide an equally pampering journey - and a trip doesn't have to break the bank.

On board the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner or newly refitted Boeing 777 from Air Canada, passengers have the option of booking International Business Class "Executive Pods," which have lie-flat beds, a remote that lets you order food and drink directly to your seat, and lighting that claims to help with jet lag.

Zach Honig, Editor of The Points Guy website, flew from London to Toronto in one of the pods in July 2017 and reviewed his experience in a blog post. He paid $2,500 round-trip for the journey.
