What is the best First Class to Tokyo from Los Angeles?

ANA First, 'The Suite', and Japan Airlines First are both extraordinary, and both fly LAX to Tokyo nonstop. ANA's newest cabin is arguably the most private in the sky; JAL counters with warmer service and exceptional Japanese dining. You genuinely cannot choose badly here, which is why this corridor is a favorite among seasoned First Class travelers.

Does Qantas still fly First Class from LAX to Sydney?

Yes. Qantas operates its A380 with First Class on the Los Angeles–Sydney route, and it remains the definitive way to cross the Pacific to Australia. The cabin pairs with the Qantas First Lounge at LAX, widely considered the best pre-departure experience in North America. Seats are few, so booking several months ahead is wise.

Can I fly First Class from LAX to Europe, or only to Asia?

Europe is well covered. British Airways flies First to London, Air France operates La Première to Paris, and Lufthansa serves Munich with its new Allegris First cabin. For travelers heading to Zurich, Frankfurt, Rome, or Milan, a one-stop itinerary in First on Lufthansa, SWISS, or their partners is straightforward to arrange.

The First Class picture from Los Angeles

LAX is the transpacific answer to JFK. The world's finest Asia-bound cabins, ANA First, Japan Airlines First, and Cathay Pacific First, all depart Los Angeles nonstop, and Qantas positions its A380 First cabin here for the Sydney run. Add Emirates First to Dubai, British Airways First to London, Air France's La Première to Paris, and Lufthansa's Allegris First to Munich, and Los Angeles covers Europe, the Gulf, Asia, and Australia with genuine First Class in a way no other western airport can.

The Tom Bradley International Terminal concentrates most of this traffic, which makes for an unusually civilized departure: flagship lounges, dedicated First check-in, and short walks to the gate. Competition on the Tokyo and London corridors is fierce, and that pressure shows up in negotiated fares, Los Angeles to Tokyo in First is frequently one of the better values in premium travel relative to the quality of cabin delivered. For Sydney, Qantas First from LAX remains the definitive way to cross the Pacific.

Lounges & ground experience

The Qantas First Lounge at the Tom Bradley International Terminal is LAX's crown jewel, à la carte dining and a proper salon before departure, open to First travelers on Qantas and select partners. Emirates operates its own lounge at LAX, and other flagships use elevated partner facilities within the terminal.
