The top cabin.
First class is the top cabin on the airlines that still sell it, and often only on some of their aircraft. Send the route you want and ask whether first class is available on your dates, or see First fares we have offered before.
Anywhere. Any airline.

Loading the fares…
Not every airline has a first class cabin. Virgin Atlantic says Upper Class is its highest cabin, and CNN reported in October 2022 that American Airlines planned to drop first class on international flights, as United and Delta had done before.
Where first class does exist, it is often limited to certain aircraft. Emirates says its First Class runs on selected routes depending on the aircraft, Qatar Airways places First Class on its A380, Lufthansa lists 4 aircraft types that carry it, and Air France says La Premiere is on a select number of its Boeing 777s.
So a first class fare on 1 route tells you little about the next. Ask which aircraft operates on your date before you choose.
British Airways First has a private suite with a 198cm flat bed. Lufthansa says its First seat converts into a 2 metre bed, and Air France gives La Premiere a full 2 metre bed. Etihad's A380, which flies between Abu Dhabi and London Heathrow, has The Residence, a 3 room suite.
British Airways has a First Wing at Heathrow Terminal 5 with private check in and 2 security lanes, and calls its Concorde Room its most luxurious first class lounge. Lufthansa runs a First Class Terminal in Frankfurt and drives guests to the aircraft.
Allowances differ. British Airways First allows 3 bags of up to 32kg each, while Singapore Airlines Suites and First passengers get 50kg where a weight allowance applies, or 2 pieces of 32kg on USA and Canada flights.
Checked on 6 Oct 2026 against the airlines' own pages, and CNN for the American Airlines report. Airline names describe cabins only.
Which airlines, which aircraft, and how first differs from business.
Fewer than you might think. British Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, Air France and Etihad all describe first class products on their own pages, but several limit them to certain aircraft or routes. Virgin Atlantic has no first cabin. For first class flights on your route, check the aircraft for the date you want.
On airlines that sell both, first sits above business. On British Airways, First allows 3 hold bags against 2 in business, comes with its own wing at Heathrow Terminal 5 and a separate lounge, and has a private suite. The gap between the 2 cabins differs by airline, so compare them on your route.
No. CNN reported that first class on US domestic flights is a different product from international first class, which American, United and Delta have dropped or planned to drop. When you compare first class flights, check whether the fare is for an international first cabin or a domestic cabin on the same airline.
Yes, ones we have offered before. The first class deals on this page show the kind of fares we find, with the airline and the price per person. They are not live prices. Send your route and ask for the price on your dates.
On British Airways and Lufthansa, yes. British Airways runs the Concorde Room at Heathrow Terminal 5 for First, and Lufthansa says its First Class Terminal in Frankfurt is for passengers with a confirmed Lufthansa Group First flight that day. Lounges differ by airport, so check the lounge at your departure airport.
