FYI, BA will start offering First to SAN soon. They will also switch to a 747 for the summer months. Looks like the first bookable flight is March 27th. They will switch back to the 777, also with First, in the fall.

That route must be doing even better than AUS to warrant a 747

It appears to be only for the summer season. They switch back to a 777 in the fall.

The Combo of AA/BA/Alaska/JAL makes sense for many in San Diego.

Will be flying this route a bunch this year, will update the loads as I do.

Thanks for the updates. OP is updated to here.

There's a rumor that QR will bring the A-380 to SYD-DOH starting in June.

I think a double daily 777 is more likely.

JAL has First HND-SFO through EOS.

Am I right that AA LAX SYD is missing from the list?

btw I think that F has been temporarily removed from BA LHR-NRT
But it is on LHR-HND

Is HND-HKG with JL getting First soon? It's listed as a route offering First in September, but I'm not seeing any redemption availability.

The inaugural QR DOH-ATL flight on June 1st will be flown with an A-380. After that, no F on that route, however.

BA announces it will serve LHR-SCL with a 789 from January 2017. It'll have F.

The sector length is about 14 hours.

This will be numbered BA 250 (SCL-LHR) and BA 251 (LHR-SCL).

There is bucket loads of reward availability, although as the flights are still being loaded, it may take a few hours to appear on the systems.

Shouldn't QR 788 388 DOH-SYD and DOH-CAN be on the list?

DOH-SYD is only from sep 15 and currently seasonal (W) if I understand it correctly.

QR doesn't have F on their 788 aircraft.

Slip of fingers - I meant 388.

Does QR run an A388 to SYD? I looked and only saw the B788.

Yes, from 15th SEPT and onwards. Perhaps only winter season, but it is bookable way into june 2017 at least

thanks

I believe that there's no more QR F service to/from BKK. It's currently running 4×77W daily with J and Y only (interestingly, 2 of the flights leave DOH simultaneously). Rumor is that F service on the 388 will resume shortly after the first of the year.

Updated the AA section based upon schedules for Jun & Dec from Expert Flyer. Most cities are now 772, 788, or 789 therefore no 1st class.

I volunteered to clean up the CX section.

Well done! Thanks!!! ^^^^

(deleted with apologies)

That post was written on October 1, 2016, 7½ months ago. Yes, I'm fairly certain that it was accurate when written. You may recall that the 388s were taken off BKK for a while due to late aircraft deliveries.

omg!!! Duh!!!

Dr. HFH - Please accept my sincerest apologies!

Sorry!

Perhaps you could provide some usueful info on the subject, instead of shooting people down? Like which DOH-BKK flights are A388?




Trying to be useful, I'd like to add that QR has A388 scheduled on DOH-MEL starting june 30. Daily A388 for winter season (171029--180324)

No problem, -- I have been known to make much sillier mistakes than that one!!


As I intended, Global321 apparently felt neither offended nor shot down; so I'm not sure why you would. Lighten up a little!! ;)

FWIW - Correct. Not offended or shot down. I feel dumb for not looking closer at the dates. All is good.

I edited the Wiki to note that AA LAX-SYD switches to a 787, so no first class, in November 2017, and also to add LAX-HKG.

CX first class has already been discontinued on the following routes:

Between Hong Kong and
Jakarta

CX first class will be discontinued from March 25, 2018 on the following routes:

Between Hong Kong and
Bangkok
Manila
Taipei
Tokyo NRT

The only intra-Asian first class route left will be Tokyo HND.

Edited Wiki for the CX changes in #232 , QR changes in #228 , and added notes for the QF changes coming in March (switch A380 from DXB back to SIN)

Edited Wiki to reflect no more 1st class offered on MIA-SCL 772

Looks like F is back on the HKG CGK route on some days over the CX summer schedule between September and October.

Managed to find some F availabilities on HKG-NRT CX520 on Nov 2018.

Just to let you all know, CX is known for aircraft changes for regional flights, so even if you are able to buy first, there is a chance of equipment change. I believe the only regional flight with guaranteed F is 1 flight a day to HND (i believe it is CX548 the 845 departure but dont quote me on this!)

Some additions to the list:

Qatar has F to SYD and MEL.
CX has F between HKG and SIN (liimited dates)
CX has F between HKG and MNL (limited dates)
