This is the list I compiled from it

The problem I have is that not all craft going to these routes have a first class cabin so this list is theoretical only - I use ita matrix first to confirm if the cabin exists and then EF to see if agrees
To illustrate my problem - if you try and book a BAH holiday through Doha and use First Class, I get no results - If I use flight finder for the same dates, it finds the flight with first class.
I was wondering if it was even possible to find a first leg in first class for any route but I was able to for flights to INC so it is possible.
I'll have to ring up and book, seems like there is no surefire way online.
I think the thing is that BA offer First fares to some destinations with indirect routing. That is First over the Atlantic for example and then a connecting flight on AA to the destination.
I've noticed this seems to happen on routes where there is direct First on some flights but not on all flights each day. Also on routes where there is First only seasonally, or perhaps
historically.
BAH holidays are worth calling in these circumstances, they see a longer list of available flights than you do online. Also with the double TP offer, you get double points for the First leg and for the connecting flight .
