First Class flights from Newark

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)

The one genuine First cabin at Newark flies Lufthansa to Munich

Newark has exactly one true First Class nonstop: Lufthansa to Munich, LH412 and LH413, on the Allegris A350 or the A380. Everything else on Newark's long-haul board tops out at business class, including United Polaris and the Singapore nonstop. For wider choice, JFK is twenty-five miles east with nine flagship First cabins.

The First Class picture from Newark

Newark is a major international gateway with a narrow First Class story, and it pays to be precise about it. Lufthansa flies Newark to Munich with a genuine First cabin, three suites on the Allegris A350 or the nose cabin of the A380, and that is the airport's only true First departure. United, which built Newark into one of its largest hubs, sells Polaris as its premier cabin; Polaris is business class, and United operates no international First at all. Singapore Airlines flies the celebrated Newark nonstop to Singapore, but that aircraft carries no First cabin either.

The practical answer for most Newark travelers is geography. JFK sits twenty-five miles away and fields Emirates First, Air France La Première, SWISS First, Cathay Pacific First, ANA First, Japan Airlines First and British Airways First. A car between the two airports takes under an hour outside peak traffic, and a specialist can ticket the whole journey as one itinerary so baggage and protection carry through. When Munich works as your European entry point, though, Lufthansa from Newark is the shortest path to a First suite from New Jersey.

Lounges & ground experience

Newark has no First Class lounge of its own. Lufthansa First passengers use the airport's Star Alliance facilities on departure, and the experience arrives on the return: Munich's First Class Lounge offers table dining and apron transfers. United's Polaris Lounge in Terminal C is excellent but serves business class. For true First ground ceremony, the Concorde Room and the Air France La Première suite are both at JFK.

Flying First from Newark: FAQs

Is there First Class from Newark?

One route: Lufthansa to Munich, flights LH412 and LH413, on the Allegris A350 with three First suites or on the A380. No other Newark long-haul departure carries a true First cabin. United Polaris, despite the name and the quality, is business class, and United flies no international First anywhere. The Singapore nonstop has no First cabin either.

Should I fly from Newark or JFK for First Class?

JFK, unless Munich suits your plans. JFK offers Emirates First, Air France La Première, SWISS First, Cathay Pacific First, ANA First, Japan Airlines First and British Airways First. Newark offers one. The drive between them is under an hour off-peak, and we ticket the ground segment and the flight together so your itinerary stays protected end to end.

Is United Polaris First Class?

No. Polaris is United's business class, and a good one, with all-aisle-access suites and the new Polaris Studio on Elevated-interior 787-9s offering about 25 percent more space. But United operates no international First Class. If you want a true First cabin from the New York area, that means Lufthansa from Newark or one of the JFK flagships.
