Lowest Price for First Class Fare for MAX MILES

Is there a tool on the internet that I could use to find the lowest FIRST CLASS fare for various flights. I am flexible with the days of travel. I figure if I could find a low FIRST CLASS fare, I could fly in comfort and get the 50% bonus miles for less money.

You need to be a little more specific with your criteria/objectives. IMO using the 50% bonus in and of itself as justification for F travel doesn't hold water (there are other ways to address the "comfort" issue).

That said, I've always found that F/J are reasonably priced between the US and both SEL and TPE, as are some RTW fares.

Let me clarify... One simple question:

Is there a tool on the internet that can give me the lowest FIRST CLASS fare for any trip?

I haven't been able to find one. I usually use Orbitz but have to plug in dates. I hate that Travelocity's "search all dates" can't be used for F fares.

Published F fares are generally pretty limited to two or 3 inventories. To get mcuh lower, you often need to resort to less scrupulous means, purchase specialty fares such as RTWs, or wait for sales for come around. The one exception I can think off the top of my head is cxleverage. Amex also has 2-for-1 deals with several carriers.
