The nature of the Radictistani air travel market requires a different attitude towards airline service than is the norm elsewhere. Relatively few people in Radictistan can afford to travel by air and the country has an efficient system of passenger rail. Therefore it is mostly the upper middle class and very wealthy who travel by air. Royal Radictistan Airways therefore prioritizes passenger comfort over low fares. It dedicates a larger proportion of its aircraft cabin space to premium classes than most airlines, and non-premium passengers typically enjoy one to two inches more legroom than most other carriers. All Royal Radictistan Airways aircraft are configured for two passenger classes except for the B777 aircraft which have two premium classes: First Class and Business Class. All other aircraft have the premium class labeled as either First Class for domestic flights | The nature of the Radictistani air travel market requires a different attitude towards airline service than is the norm elsewhere.

The nature of the Radictistani air travel market requires a different attitude towards airline service than is the norm elsewhere. Relatively few people in Radictistan can afford to travel by air and the country has an efficient system of passenger rail. Therefore it is mostly the upper middle class and very wealthy who travel by air. Royal Radictistan Airways therefore prioritizes passenger comfort over low fares. It dedicates a larger proportion of its aircraft cabin space to premium classes than most airlines, and non-premium passengers typically enjoy one to two inches more legroom than most other carriers. All Royal Radictistan Airways aircraft are configured for two passenger classes except for the B777 aircraft which have two premium classes: First Class and Business Class. All other aircraft have the premium class labeled as either First Class for domestic flights or Business Class on international flights.

A full meal service is included for passengers of all classes on flights of two hours or more operating within a traditional meal time. Alcoholic drinks cost extra for Economy passengers.

The passenger may enjoy twelve prerecorded audio channels. On the Il-96 aircraft, passengers can view films on personal LCD screens in business class and drop-down LCD screens in the economy cabin in addition to the personal audio installation.
