I was told in the SkyTeam forum that first class awards can no longer be booked.

The Continental website still quotes the miles needed for a first class award - http://www.continental.com/web/en-US.../chart_9b.aspx, hence 120,000 from Europe to Asia.

Asia to Europe, on the other hand, seems not to have tickets in first class - http://www.continental.com/web/en-US.../chart_9d.aspx

Is it possible to get first class awards or not? I am interested in flying with either Korean Air or Air France (e.g. from Paris via Seoul to Singapore or Bangkok).
