First Class on Xiamen Air: A Surprising Premium Experience A
First Class on China’s LOWEST RANKED Airline

Two travelers board Xiamen Air on a 787-8 and discover an unexpectedly premium feel, even earning a First Class experience while holding a Business ticket. They book via Qatar Airways, pass through Doha, and then settle into a thoughtful cabin with a comfortable bed, refined tableware, and a careful amenity kit. The crew’s service shines as they sample the menu, explore the olive juice, and enjoy Chinese teas. Pajamas, spa items, and a well curated entertainment experience add to the flight’s high end impression. They compare pricing, discuss Wi-Fi options, and close with a verdict that highlights quality service and surprising value, followed by a visit to Langham Xiamen for a hotel stopover and reflections on why Qatar customers can access First Class seats.
