Is first class worth the premium cost?

If you have a penchant for comfort and service, especially on long-haul flights, first class can be worth the extra cost. However, the cost difference can be substantial depending on the airline and the route. Consider how much you value the added comfort and amenities compared to the duration of your flight.


What are the baggage allowances for first class passengers?

Baggage allowances for first class passengers vary by airline, but generally, first class travelers enjoy more generous allowances compared to all other passengers. For example, Emirates and Qatar Airways allow up to 50 kg of baggage, and Qantas allows up to 70 kg for Platinum Frequent Flyers.


How does first class differ from business class?

As a first class passenger, you'll receive a level of service that's more personalized than business class with a higher staff-to-passenger ratio. Your seating space offers more privacy, making it feel more like your own cabin, and your premium first class seating is more spacious and often converts into a fully flat bed. You'll also enjoy gourmet meals with the finest wines and spirits.


Can I access VIP lounges with a first class ticket?

Yes, simply show your first class boarding pass at your airline's airport lounge reception desk and you're in. These lounges offer a more luxurious environment, complimentary meals and drinks, and even showers and quiet areas. However, specific access can vary by airline, so it's always a good idea to check with your airline.


What is the seating arrangement in first class?

Premium first class seating is usually arranged in a 1-2-1 or 1-1 “single aisle” configuration, allowing for direct aisle access for all passengers. Many first-class seats can recline into a fully flat position, providing a comfortable sleeping space. Higher-end first class cabins may include partitions or suites for enhanced privacy. Your seat will come equipped with a personal entertainment screen, and typically a power outlet and high-quality bedding.


Can I upgrade from business class to first class?

It depends. Not every airline offers both business class and first class on every flight. If you've booked your business class ticket with Flight Centre, we can assist to see if an upgrade to first class is possible.


Which airlines offer the best first class experience?

The best first class experience is offered by Singapore Airlines, which recently won Skytrax World Airline Awards for Best First Class Airline and Best First Class Airline Seats. Air France won Best First Class Onboard Catering and Best First Class Airline Lounge Dining. Emirates won Best Business Class Airline Comfort Amenities.
