first class

Hi all - I've been trying without success to find a J or F award seat on the new London flights - QF1/2 or QF9/10. I havent been able to find any F/J award seat - in either direction - from September this year to February 2019. Has anybody seen any availability in the premium cabins since the...

Just published on routesonline: Airlineroute :: Routesonline Etihad Airways in recent schedule update adjusted planned Abu Dhabi – Melbourne service, effective from 01OCT18. From this date, the airline’s 2 daily service will be operated by 2-class 787-9 only. Existing EY460/461 3-class...

Hi, I’ve been upgraded from Business to First using points. Can I take a colleague to the lounge as a guest who is travelling in Premium Economy on the same flight? Thanks!

Hi there all, although I fly lots, it is usually the same old routes, and am thus jaded. But next month I have two totally different experiences coming up, and in the way that pre-flight pondering of new horizons does, I am actually keen about these and want to maximise the experience...

Hi all! I mostly want to share my excitement - I've just managed to book a business class flight from Melbourne to London via Perth, Singapore and Dubai! I had originally booked a far more sensible award from MEL-DXB-LGW but I had to change the date due to work. I thought it'd be impossible...

I have heard the old “we can’t open the real champagne on the ground due to customs / duty” line in the US before. Pretty poor for First ... But being denied a sparkling WATER before takeoff with this excuse ... that really is just taking the Mickey?

Hi all Thanks to this web site my frequent flyer balances have continued to increase and I will be going on my first J international trip later this year on JAL & Qantas. I have previously flown domestic J but I crave better now that I have the points. :) So lets say you live in Australia...

Interesting article especially about the expect cost differences and being surprised it wasn’t all businessmen in business class: The cost of flying first class: How can anyone afford it? I expect the answer from AFF members would be different on both how can you afford but also the worth /...

Hi All I’m a long time lurker on this board, but with all the information I have found on it I’m now experiencing my first year as a WP (after joining frequent flyer in 1997 at age 11!) and on 1 June a classic award redemption in first class on QF1 to London. Does anybody have recommendations...

Now that the kangaroo route is going via SIN again, is anyone booked in F on QF1/2 in the near future who can report on the experience? No F lounge and guessing no F treatment. I'm sure some of us here would hope otherwise. Champagne like in LHR? Maybe a roped off area in the J-level lounge...

Just strictly in the research and learn process, Ive done a few random dates using miles calculator for Melb to CDG (or any EU city) and its come up with 384k emirates points +$1373 for first class, I know taxes are high eg vs singapore which is $256 but thats how it is? it seems both to and...

surprisingly enough there seems many reviews on indivudal first class, or A vs B comparisons, and the other rankings seem to be very varied after looking at heaps of youtube videos and reviews my impression is that the best one by far is Emirates then comes Etihad apartments then comes...

Hello, Has anyone ever found 3 tickets for first class from Melbourne to Europe? I have found two tickets but not 3 so just thought if they have a cap on it or something? Sorry if this is on the wrong forum. Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm flying CX F for the first time in May and I'm keen to hear your tips on how to maximise the experience. I only do limited overseas flights per year and flying in J and F is still a massive novelty for me and I'm really keen to enjoy the entire 13hr flight. I leave HKG at 14:40...

Panning a trip to London next year in May and thinking of trying to book 2 award seats in F. I checked Expert Flyer to see a general availability on F Award seats on Qantas flights. I only ever can find 1 seat on most flights. I guess this would be an impossible task. That brings me to my next...

Last weekend, I took advantage of the opportunity to fly the Qantas A380 first class suite from SYD - SIN for just 90,000 Qantas points. Below are a few pics from my trip, the full review can be found at: Qantas A380 First Class Review: Sydney to Singapore

Hi all, Just wanted to share a great experience I had with the family at JFK AA checkin in mid/late January this year. Not sure how long it has been there but there was a new(ish) F checkin at the far right of T8, and it is excellent! Was flying Y transcon with family (6 in total) and we were...

I'm in planning mode for my next holiday (contemplating Cape Town to see the great whites). I have 900K QFF points. I prefer to use my points for business class fares, I don't see economy as a good use of points as the taxes etc cost almost the same as just buying the economy ticket. Just doing...

Clearly it sounds like the writer hasn't tried Business let alone First before. Also the writer seems to think everyone flying First gets the First Host walking them around the airport which simply is not the case. Other than that it was a reasonable article, I think. Ever wondered what it’s...

This could be getting to conspiracy level - but stay with me here. This all started after reading about Etihad Guest's reward flight cost increases... Today I attempted to book two F seats from MXP - AUH - SYD on Etihad through Velocity. Availability is showing across multiple dates on Expert...
