It's a pitty that there are not pictures of different classes taken in one plane. :)

@Crowley I was trying to illustrate the differences between domestic first and international first, so I used pictures from different planes. Pictures from one plane wouldn't show that (and I had to stick to CC-licensed images here). That said, it's easy to google up pictures of pretty much any airline seat if you're curious.

@Johns-305 Generally just on a couple of flagship transcon routes, which I noted in the answer.

I got a very cheap KLM transatlantic business class ticket far ahead of the time and it had 450 usd change fee! Cheap and flexible doesn't come together.

@gsnedders True, but there are a few factors at play. The same aircraft are used on many different domestic routes, so outfitting MIA-SEA flights with flat beds would mean having those same beds flying on a shorter flight like SEA-PDX next segment. There's also more customers willing to pay through the nose for international premium cabins (some of these customers will just go private for domestic flights), while domestic F seats tend to go more to free or low-cost upgrades. Also, those routes don't normally have much completion, so there's not much pressure on the airlines to offer better.
