Being on a plane can be brutal — especially when traveling internationally — but a queen-sized bed, personal shower, or butler could definitely turn that experience around.

Scroll down for a look at the 10 most luxurious first-class cabins money can buy.

10. British Airway’s first class cabin on the 787-9 Dreamliner features a 23-inch display screen that’s controlled with a touchscreen remote control located in the seat console.

Each seat also has two USB ports and a personal locker that comes with a mirror for in-flight touch ups. A one-way ticket from London to New Delhi will set you back about $5,000.

9. The first class cabins on Japan Airline’s Sky Suite 777 have Woodgrain interiors and are closed off from the rest of the plane for added privacy. You can book a flight with the suite next month, but until then there’s no word on price.

Not only does the private suite turn into a cozy bed, but it comes with a 23-inch LCD monitor also. There’s also space for luggage and a power socket so you can charge your devices.

8. AirFrance offers a La Première option that can cost as much as $10,000 one way. It comes with a private suite option where your seat can turn into a bed. You can also take advantage of extra storage areas and personal coat service.
