Cultural Tip
In Italy the term “classe business” is the standard way to refer to the airline’s business cabin, even though the word “business” is borrowed from English. It is pronounced with an Italian accent (/ˈbi.z.nes/). In formal contexts, keep the article “la” – saying “il classe business” is a common mistake because “classe” is feminine.
