Power Outlets
Keep devices charged with multiple 110V outlets and USB ports located throughout the cabin. Laptops, tablets, and phones can stay plugged in for the entire trip, ensuring everyone arrives with full battery—essential for business travelers, students, and event guests.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems ensure the cabin stays comfortable year-round, with powerful air conditioning for humid summers and efficient heating for winter months. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow and temperature to their liking.
Leather Seating
High-back, reclining seats upholstered in leatherette or optional full leather provide both comfort and support. Armrests, headrests, and adjustable recline make it easy to relax, read, or nap while on the move.
