Between screaming children, annoying passengers and no legroom, plane journeys can be a nightmare at the best of times.
So to sort out these problems, Boeing has come up with the ultimate travel experience – but its not cheap.
Earlier this year, the company unveiled the 777X private jet – a £300million airliner hailed by chief project engineer Terry Beezhold as “the most efficient twin jet ever developed in commercial history”.
On Monday (December 10), Boeing gave plane enthusiasts a sneak peek at their fanciest airliner to date at the Middle East Business Aviation Association Show in Dubai.

The luxury airliner is set to include hi-tech shower pods, as well as fancy bathrooms equipped with marble floor and, of course, a dressing gown.
Each bedroom plans to hold two wardrobes, shoe racks, a chest of drawers and a lavish mirror facing the bed.
Another concept for the jet includes jaw-dropping mosaic double bathrooms, as well as a lavish private bar equipped with a flat-screen TV.
There will even be a cinema room and a Turkish-style steam bath.

Boeing will create two variants (the 777-8 and 777-9) on the jet and a reduction in the amount of passengers will allow for a 44% increase in nautical miles for the latter.
Thats enough to fly nonstop from London to Sydney.
The plane can fit between 350-425 passengers and plans to officially hit the skies in 2020, with test flights beginning next year.
It is also set to contain a five-star dining room, which looks like something straight out of a music video.

Beezhold believes the 777X plane “will be a very distinct plane that everyone will be talking about”.
On the topic, head of Boeing Business Jets Greg Laxton said: "Our most exclusive customers want to travel with the best space and comfort and fly directly to their destination.
"The new BBJ 777X will be able to do this like no other plane before it, redefining ultra-long range VIP travel."
