First Class Award Flights
First class is the most aspirational use of points. True international first class (Singapore Suites, Lufthansa First, ANA First, Cathay First, Emirates First, Etihad First Apartment) is rare to find but represents the highest value redemptions in the points-and-miles ecosystem.

How to find first class award space
- Be flexible on dates. First Class saver space is rare — three weeks of flexibility on either end can be the difference between booking and giving up.
- Check partner programs. The cheapest way to book a flight is rarely on the operating airline's own program. Use AwardLocker to compare every program at once.
- Set saved searches. First Class space appears unpredictably — let alerts notify you the moment new inventory loads.
- Stack credit card transfers. Chase, Amex, Capital One, Bilt, and Citi each transfer to multiple programs that book first class — keep flexibility by holding flexible currencies.
