First Class, while it still exists.
Fewer than a dozen airlines still fly a true First Class cabin, and several are quietly retiring it as Business catches up. These are the suites worth the difference, the routes that still carry them, and what you actually get for the premium.
What the premium actually buys
Business Class has closed most of the gap in the air. What is left is space, ground service, and how you are treated when something goes wrong.
A First suite is not a wider Business seat. It is a separate room with a door, a chair and a bed that exist at the same time, so you are never waiting on a crew member to convert it.
Pre-ordered menus, à la carte service across the whole flight, and on several carriers a caviar-and-Krug service that has genuinely no Business equivalent.
Chauffeur transfers at both ends, private terminals in Dubai and Frankfurt, and an escort through immigration that turns a connection into a walk.
First passengers are rebooked first. On a cancellation you are protected onto the next carrier ahead of the rest of the aircraft, and we push that claim for you.
Suites still flying long-haul
First cabins are tied to specific aircraft, not routes. A carrier may fly First on one daily rotation and Business-only on the next — the aircraft is shown on every segment in search results.
Availability changes with fleet and season. If a First cabin is not bookable on your dates, the concierge can usually tell you which nearby departure still carries one.
First cabins we can ticket
First cabins sell out months ahead. Start with live availability.
Switch the cabin toggle to First and we price only itineraries where a real First cabin is bookable end to end.
