 Will business-class-only airlines fly? Virgin Atlantic Airways recently announced that it will join Silverjet, MAXjet, Eos, and others in serving this small but rich market. However, as we note in a BusinessWeek.com Special Report on Business Travel, it's a risky move: Competition for business passengers is stiff, and while the startups may offer lower fares, they lack the loyalty programs and convenience of the major carriers. To get a sense of the best in the business, take a look at our rankings of the top 10 business-class airlines in the sky. They're like flying spas. But for the real high-rollers, business class pales in comparison to travel aboard a private jet. In our report, we also look at whether the booming demand for private jets could stall, and we present a slide show on the most popular models, along with another on the best business hotels.
