first class

Casting a quick eye over this AusBT article which talks about the potential demise of first class: https://www.ausbt.com.au/airbus-a350-1000-signals-rise-of-business-class-demise-of-first Killing off first class in favour of more business class seems to be a trend with more airlines shifting...

I have booked a first class ticket flying Singapore airlines from Los Angeles to Seoul and then onto Sydney using krisflyer points. My question is in the first class star alliance lounge at LAX, how does tipping work? If sitting down in the dinning area or someone is serving you a drink, would...

Dear Qantas, RE: Late chauffeur pickup LHR; 18hr DXB delay; lost luggage; bungled hotel reservation; NO chauffeur pickup BNE I write this email in great disappointment after my recent debacle of travel experience from LHR to BNE. (In truth, I'm not even quite there yet, 50ish hours later, as...

Not sure if this is new but the QF website now states the following under 'dining' (International Inflight Dining | Qantas) (my bolding) this appears to indicate First class champagne will now be Charles Heidsick only for pre-departure?

Looks like a great fare - about a quarter of the usual price. Can fly Japan Airlines business class Seoul-Tokyo then FIRST class Tokyo-NYC. Earns 660 Qantas SCs along the way. Great if you can position yourself in Seoul. I just purchased an AMAZING first class fare to New York

So I have been browsing pricing for the past couple of weeks and yesterday Skyscanner alert came through. Checked prices for First Class on 20th July to Paris return and it was $5k cheaper than usually. Booked straight away. Today prices back at $14k. Was this an error or was I just...

Hi AFF, Wasnt sure where to post this but seen as this was all thanks to Credit Card signups and the people in here I figured this was as good a place as any. I wanted to post something up both as a thank you to everyone on this forum and a post to hopefully show people that Business / First...

Hi everyone, I’m looking to book my first ever first class flight using QFF points from MEL to DXB next year. The award seats will be opening up in the next 3 weeks so starting to think about maximising the experience. Previously AFF members provided advice for me to aim for an Emirates F...

GARUDA Black Friday ex LHR in J (MEL/SYD £1111) - Page 2 - FlyerTalk Forums Per the FT thread, there seems to be a particular search combination and restriction to attract the pricing. Anyone know how long the max stopover in Australia is based in the fare basis? Could be attractive if ~6 months.

Hey Guys! So I am going to get my Velocity Plat status soon and will be flying with Etihad after getting it so I am extremely excited about using their First Class Lounge! In fact this will be the First time I will be in a First Lounge usually its Business. So I was wondering if anyone has...

Dear AFF Brains Trust, Does anybody know how seats in the F cabin are allocated on QF127/128 to/from HKG on the A380 now that no F seats are sold? I'm booked on QF128 on an A380 for July 2017, currently Gold, but just about to be Platinum. It's a QF coded ticket, but marketed by AY. I can't...

Hi all As part of my Feb USA trip we are flying LAX-SFO, in First Class. A couple of articles on ABT and Point Hacks suggest that if I book through Virgin Australia, I will get free lounge access at LAX. How does this work? How will the Loft Lounge reception staff know to let me in, given I...

Hi All, Wanted to check if anyone knows of or if there is a list anyway of destinations one can fly First Class out of Perth (or Sydney). Am going to be taking the wife away for her 30th and figured we can give first class a try for the first time, something neither of us have done yet but...

The goal (for me) is to travel a long haul flight - be it to London/LAX/NYC etc. in first class before I turn 25. I am currently 21 so I have four years which I don't know if that's a lot of time to accomplish it or not, to me it sounds really fast considering I have only ever travelled economy...

Hi all, I'm looking to maximise my point redemptions with KrisFlyer with 120k worth of points. I don't have enough for a return business class so i was thinking: Redeem economy flight for SYD - LHR (36125 points w/ discount) Redeem business class for LHR - SYD (80750 points w/ discount)...

I've searched, and googled, and read, and still can't find the answer- Apologies if its been asked, I couldn't find it on here either. Has anyone seen/heard the schedule for refitting the new First Suites on the A380's? Everything I've read has said "hopefully" and other vague descriptors...

Hi all, I need to go Syd-Kul return. I have miles that I need to use up and I have just a touch under 130000 sq miles. So will be doing first class. Doing it for the Xmas period. I can't seem to book first class online for this route as I don't think there is F for the kul sector. How do I...

Hi all, Bronze member with points to burn....well only 250K(missed the FREE ANZ QFF 75K CC offer grrrr) Looking at getting to Helsinki on points in first class. Trying to find flights in First class: 1. Only Business Class icon showing as Reward option on trolling every month including into...

As per the title, there are reports that Platinums do not currently have access to the reopened First Class lounge (as they did in the past). We fly through AUH next week, could someone confirm what the situation is? Thanks.

So the short story is I grew up on a family farm two hours north of Melbourne. My Mum died suddendly and unexpectedly when I was travelling in the UK a few years ago. Then Dad developed bowel cancer and fought bravely for 12 months but lost his battle. It meant that myself and my two sisters...
