first class

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...

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.
