first class

Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster :) My husband and I are very close to booking our QF Classic Rewards seats to Europe for 2018 and I'm undecided on which flights to choose. We'll be flying First Class on Emirates into Amsterdam - for both of us it will be our first trip flying F so...

Goodness gracious me, I’ve just had the worst flight in first class I’ve ever had. Now I stress the point that it was far from horrible (unlike the EY Y flight from AUH to CAI the following day) and I count myself as very lucky to fly in first class anyway, but it appears that my run of good BA...

I need to fly from HKG to BKK next year as part of a longer trip - and all other flights are locked in. I was looking at just paid economy ($200 each) or business ($600 each) but I've found availability in CX 777 first class. It's 76,000 QF points + $100 for 2 of us - has anyone done this...

Here are some pics from my recent LH F experience. I loved every minute and would highly recommend it. I had a connecting flight to FRA from TXL. That part of the trip wasn’t memorable. TXL is like something from the Cold War with cramped gate areas and a scrum for priority boarding that makes...

Hi guys, I have done a big clean out at home, and am making available to AFF members the following: 2 x Qantas First Class Pyjamas L/XL size (Martin Grant) and First Class Amenity Kit (PJ;s and Kit will go together) 1 x L/XL Qantas Business class Pyjamas (Peter Morrissey) I have donated about 20...

Article in the AFR today The biggest loophole is - how was there Premium Economy when cigarettes were still allowed on airplanes? So I'm calling the article B/S. "Why being upgraded to first class isn’t always a perk" Why being upgraded to first class isn’t always a perk | afr.com

United ! :shock: Check out all the horror ...

****WARNING…if First Class photos / reports annoy / offend you, look away now!**** Ok….I have a slight fetish...I admit it! I‘m trying to fly as many different A380 F class products as possible. So far I have flown QF, EK, EY, TG and SQ. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to fly OZ...

United Is Discontinuing International First Class As Of May 1, 2018 - One Mile at a Time Not directly affected but another loss for Life Miles.

Seems like now we can book SQ suites/first with Virgin directly using VFF points. A few media sites have some coverage and comparisons, I'll post links to their articles and the VA and SQ points tables so you can do comparisons. Bookings must be done over the phone though...

I have finally collected enough QFF points to travel first class to the US and I'm really looking forward to a trip where the flights are a highlight instead of a trial-by-endurance. I would be going from Sydney to the north-east US at the end of July '18 and returning (from Seattle) at the...

Hi all I've recently published a review of this flight on my blog. If you'd like to check it out, it can be found at: https://thechampagnemile.com.au/first-class-review-singapore-to-sydney-singapore-airlines-777-300er/ Too many food photos to paste directly here, but here's a taster: All...

Hi all, I am a fairly regular traveller between SCL and SYD on the QF 747's, and a few times a year it is one of the older ones with the F seating up front. I know that one of these was recently given a facelift in the F section, and I was wondering if there is any way in advance that I can...

I just rocked up to the lounge at JFK to find camera crews and AA staff and workmen running around all over the place. Whilst the lounge opened last week, today is its official opening. My personal opinion is this is lots better than the QF lounge at LAX. I haven't gotten photos of all the...

Hi all Used the F checkin today for the first time today (around 3pm on a Wednesday). Well all I can say is it is magic!!!! No queue to check in, no queue to screen bags, straight through scanner. All in all took about 5 mins and that is only because the security person took my bag before I...

Sorry if this is a newbie question, I don't have a lot of experience booking on AA metal. I'm trying to book flights from SFO-BOS and return in first, but the only fare basis I can find is G,S,K or Y (economy?). This is occurring when I select either 'First' or 'First Flexible'. Am I missing...

HI All Just a random question for everyone, sorry if it has been answered before.. If you only have enough points/dollars to travel in business or first class on one way on a trip (most likely a holiday) which one do you choose If you go select the better class on the outward journeys, it is...

Does anyone know if all the SQ 777-300ER aircraft have now been updated with the new(ish) First Class fit out? Was looking at treating mum to an award flight and keen to show her the newer First Class cabins. If they have not all been updated, does anyone know if/when they will all be...

Hey guys, I know this topic's been discussed here before, but I wrote a thought-piece about it and wanted to get your views and feedback. My opinion is that, though it's a bit sad to see first class in decline, overall the future of premium travel looks bright - especially because of the large...

Ok so I have booked a 280k reward with one world, and am now looking at planning a first class trip to Great Britain with velocity points but am unsure of what's the best combination and tricks to do so. This will be most likely my only first class trip ever so want to make it special, so far...
