On which dates for HKG-SIN did you find 1st?

Lots of dates in August and September. These bookings are not a sure bet though, and equipment swaps might happen.

MH seem to have F on KUL-NRT and KUL-KIX flights loaded for as far out as I can check on EF.

Yes these routes certainly exist. They should be added to the list.

But still to be fare bucket A, F & P. From austbt.com.au

SO will still be the F cabin, still books into A, F or P, but called Business Class? I don't see that getting by many corporate travel managers. As soon as they see the "F," I think that it will be denied. Just a guess, though.

And when that happens, MH can say, well, we tried, but there just isn't the demand for this. Time to rip it out entirely.

At big corporate's where I have worked the approving muppets would not know what a fare booking class is. Only the text first, business & economy

Besides, some airlines use F for economy class (such as EI).

[Apologies for the x-post but I need to pull the trigger soon on this.]

I'm going to be burning some miles on a first-class ticket to Asia, Baltimore to Shanghai, in May. I'm trying to decide between itineraries on Cathay and JAL. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts.

Option 1: BWI-JFK (Y) -- 3 hr layover -- JFK-HKG (F) -- 2h20 layover -- HKG-PVG (Y). There is currently no J availability on the last leg although perhaps it tends to open as the departure gets closer. I do however get access to the F lounges for the layover in HKG as I understand it.

Option 2: BWI-ORD (F) -- 3 hr layover -- ORD-NRT (F) -- 4 hr layover -- NRT-PVG (J).

Total flight times are pretty much the same. The second is 30 minutes longer. I leave a bit earlier but arrive a bit earlier too. I wonder if the JL food out of ORD (as opposed to NRT) is as good. Most reviews dealt with flights ex-NRT and the Japanese meals look pretty amazing.

Any thoughts on which experience (flights and lounges) would be more fun?

Thanks!!

This thread needed a full refresh, as someone who has been trying to treat myself to a few AONE tickets, I’ve taken the time to (as at January 2025) put together my current understanding of the remaining First class routes.

It is surprisingly hard to find these routes as, except for BA and their low fare finder, and generally it seems that the knowledge is hidden amongst various websites (prince of travel is particularly helpful), news articles and so forth. I tried to use ExpertFlyer to validate any potential routes that were listed - but would welcome any new ones. As a result of this work I am going to try and layer in a KUL-Tokyo flight to end my next AONE3 as JL seems to refuse releasing any first class seats anymore.

Just out of curiosoty, what airline are you using for your TATL F flight?

This time BA as the RTW about six months ago I used AA on LHR-MIA (and was suitably underwhelmed), plus I find that the AA RTW team doesn't seem to enforce a "you must use AA across an ocean", but rather "you must have at least one AA flight" on First class at least.

I don't think there is any other option on oneworld except AA and BA to cross the Atlantic now - Qatar who does lots of US flights only offers business to the US and JAL finishes at LHR and JFK respectively (and won't let you book anyway...)?

(My cross ocean legs are LHR-JFK-LAX-HKG on BA-AA TransContinental-Cathay - intention is to maximise Tier Points with very limited time hence no random trips to ANC or SJU)

JAL to put 777-300ER to its Helsinki route including first class. First class available from 22 April onwards. 787 return to the route on 30 Sept.
