We're Dying for Diamond First Class on Etihad Airways

We could really go for some luxurious daytime napping right now, but we're going to hold out and instead drool over images of Etihad Airways' new Diamond First Class cabin. Just released this week at the Arabian Travel Market convention in Dubai, the new luxury seats from the official Emirati airline combine the comfort of a hotel with the at-hand goodies of a confined airline seat.

We're talking about more than just some snazzy striped bedding, but a Poltrona Frau "extra-large seat that extends to a fully-flat bed 80.5 inches (6' 7") in length and which is equipped with built-in massager, lumbar support and adjustable headrest, as well as power sockets for a laptop, iPod and other electronic devices." Hook us up with some of that.

Just when we thought we could happily spend several days, let alone a single overnight flight in the Diamond cabin, we saw a picture of the Diamond First Class bathroom. It's got more amenities than ours at home, with a leather fold-down changing seat, a full-length mirror and two windows through which to ponder the miracles of the world as you finish your business.

There was a time in our lives when we wanted nothing more than First Class on Swiss Air, but one glimpse at that massive sink has possibly shifted our allegiance. Sorry Swiss Air, better luck next toilet.
