First Class flights.

If I'm going to South East Asia and want a transit, I want it half way so the Middle East works well. Going to HKG you're already there so it defeats the purpose of splitting up the journey for a break after 6 to 8 hours.0

We live in the Far East for 6 months and UK for 6 months.
Recently we've been travelling on Vietnam Airlines Business Class which has very good deals but a 3 hour or more stopover in Hanoi or HCMC.
I've been thinking of trying a flight in First Class and wonder what others experiences might be.
Thai come out cheapest although timings not the best.
Emirates look OK and we like the Airbus 380 which seems a very quiet plane on Emirates.
The missus says BA FC hasn't got good reviews although as it would be non stop I find it attractive.
I've been checking the prices through the Matrix website but can't see how to book the prices they show. Any ideas on this or a website which allows you to book the prices they give??
Anyone got any comments??
If the route has both A380 and 777s being operated by BA, i will assume it's either HK or Singapore. BA First is a step up from BA business class, but not on the same level as First with Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines, your other direct options from those places. On the other hand, BA is likely to be cheaper than either of them. You get what you pay for...
Never flown First with Emirates, but the people I know that have, had no complaints at all. Just depends on whether you are happy with the indirect route and the style of the airline.
Regarding Matrix, for a straight return flight on one carrier, you should usually be able to recreate it on the airline website, though sometimes you need to call or use a good travel agent. When you open up the fare details in the Matrix search result, it will give all the fare codes an agent needs to book it.Is the BA flight on newer aircraft or B747 B772?
Will your route get new BA A350 aircraft on it?
Deliveries of A350s to BA will not start until at least Sep 2018.0 -
The missus has found that Swissair First Class is the cheapest. LHR/Changi/LHR
They look good with one short layover.
Any comments.It's your money. Except if it's the governments.0 -
New aircraft types are quieter and the air quality better, you arrive feeling less tired.
I've flown long haul on A380, B747, B772 and B787 aircraft recently and the A380 and B787 flights were much better.
A great seat in business on a new aircraft type is very good.
Compare the Swissair fare with A380 services on BA and SQ from SIN in businesss and first.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0 -
