Hi Guys,
I have quite a lot of KF points partly because initially i was told to just use them for First class flights as i will probably never be able to afford them via cash alone. But they seem quite rare and hard to find available seats on and i have just ended up not using the points and booking a normal economy flight via cash instead and hoping to save and use them later. Of course i know they will expire in a couple of years so i really need to get around to using them, then recently i got told by other people they actually feel First class isnt that worth to fly because its pretty much just more pampering and luxurious which is nice and fine to do as a once off maybe but generally the main parts of making a flight enjoyable and comfortable are all catered for in business these days with a flat bed and enough privacy to make it comfortable for you.
So now i am thinking maybe i should have started using my points already on just business class flights instead of saving them up and on the off chance actually having them expire.
For people who have flown both first class / suites and business class, what are your experiences and opinions? The suite sounds fun but i presume (the flights i will be mainly flying are around 8 hours) you sleep for a decent amount of it and also once you have done it, its nice but is it worth the extra points as well as also the extra wait / having to book far in advance? What other benefits do you get? Do you find waitlisting works well for you guys?
