A aircraft cabin is part of a plane in which passengers travel. At the height of roaming the modern commercial airplane the surrounding atmosphere is too thin for passengers and crew to breathe without oxygen masks, so the cabin is pressurized at higher pressure than the ambient pressure at altitude.
In commercial air travel, especially on airplanes, the cabin can be divided into sections. These can include travel class sections on medium and large aircraft, an area for flight attendants, kitchens and storage for in-flight services. Seats are mostly arranged in rows and aisles. The higher the travel class, the more space it provides. Cabins from different travel classes are often shared by curtains, sometimes called class dividers, but not on all airlines. Passengers are usually not allowed to visit higher class travel cabins on commercial flights.
Some aircraft cabins contain passenger entertainment systems. Short and medium transport cabins tend not to have or share the screen while long haul and ultra long flights often contain personal screens that allow passengers to choose what to watch on their personal screens.

Evolution
Business class almost replaces first class: 70% of 777 have first class cabins before 2008, while 22% of new 777 and 787 have one in 2017. Full-class seats in business class are up from 65% of 777 shipments in the year 2008 to nearly 100% of 777 and 787 delivered in 2017, except for low-cost airlines that have 10% premium cabins in their widebodies. The first class seats are halved for the last 5-10 years, usually from eight to four. To distinguish from Business class, first class upscale moved to full-height enclosure such as Singapore Airlines, Emirates, and Etihad. Business class becomes equivalent to what was first class a few years ago.
By 2017, 80% of the 777 and 787 shipped have separate premium economies with one or two fewer seats than regular economy class. In economy, a 2 inch (5 cm) leaner seat with composite frames and thin coatings can add leg room or allow more seating. Although satellite or satellite Internet connections are more often available at a lower cost due to competition, only 25-30% of operators outside the US are offering in-flight connectivity. LED lighting can support various scenarios such as riding, food service, shopping, branding or chronobiology through simulating sunset or sunrise. First-class and business is renewed every 5-7 years compared to 6-10 years for the economy.
A 337 seat cabin (36 businesses, 301 economies) at 787-10 for Singapore Airlines costs $ 17.5 million each.

Cabin pressurization
Cabin pressurization is the active pumping of compressed air into the cabin of an aircraft to ensure the safety and comfort of the occupants. Required when the plane reaches a certain height, because natural atmospheric pressure will be too low to supply sufficient oxygen for passengers. Without stress, a person can suffer from altitude sickness including hypoxia.
If a pressurized aircraft has a pressurized failure over 10,000 feet (~ 3,000 meters), then it can be considered an emergency. If this situation occurs, the aircraft must start an emergency landing and the oxygen mask must be activated for all occupants. In most passenger planes, the passenger oxygen mask is activated automatically when the cabin pressure drops below atmospheric pressure equal to 14,000 feet (~ 4,500 meters).
Travel class
First class
The first class part of a plane is the class with the best service, and usually the highest price. The services offered are superior to those in business class, and are only available on a small number of long flights. It is characterized by having more space between chairs (including those that can be turned into beds), a private TV set, high quality food and drinks, personal service, privacy, and providing tourists with free stuff (eg pajamas, shoes and toiletries ). Passengers in this class have separate check-ins, access to first class lounge in the airline, prefer riding or private transportation between terminals and planes. Due to the high cost, there are several airlines offering this service.
Business class
Business class is more expensive, but also offers more facilities for tourists than the class below. This may include better food, wider entertainment options, more comfortable chairs with more space to lie down and more legroom, among other things.
Premium Economy class
Premium Economy Class is a travel class offered by some airlines to provide better flying experience to economy travelers, but with far less money than business class. It is often limited to a few extras such as more legroom, as well as free food and drinks. Onboard Air Canada, Premium Economy is equipped with wider seats (3 inches on Boeing 777-300) (2 inches on Boeing 787), more reclining (3 inches more than economy), foldable footrests, comfort kit, food premium and drinks on international long-haul flights, and more legroom.
Economy class
Economy class is the airline class of travel with the lowest ticket price, due to the fact that the comfort level is lower than other classes. This class is mainly marked by short distances between each seat, and a smaller variety of food and entertainment.
