The Complete Guide to Booking Qantas First Class

Qantas is Australia’s largest airline. The Australian flag carrier has grown in popularity as an option for flying from North America to Australia directly, and for having one of the best First Class products available between the two regions.

While Qantas First Class offers a great product for long-haul flights, it’s also gained a reputation for becoming extremely hard to book one of these coveted seats with points.

In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Qantas First Class, including how to give yourself the best chance of ticking Qantas First Class off your list of aspirational aviation experiences.

The Qantas First Class Experience

While Qantas First Class is sure to be a very comfortable way to fly, the First Class journey begins well before you board the plane.

Ground Experience

Qantas has a dedicated team called “First hosts” in Sydney, Melbourne, London, Singapore, and Los Angeles. Should you require any assistance, this team is available to help you at every step along the way.

For a comfortable check-in, there is also a dedicated First Class check-in suite in Sydney and Melbourne. Guests flying in Qantas First Class will enjoy priority boarding access in all airports via a separate lane.

Once checked in, the next step is making your way to one of the lovely Qantas First Class lounges, located in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, and Los Angeles.

The Qantas First Class lounge in Los Angeles is often ranked as one of the best lounges in North America. The flagship lounges in Melbourne and Sydney both have LaGaia Unedited day spas, to help you feel refreshed and relaxed prior to your flight.

In fact, if you’re flying out of Melbourne or Sydney, Qantas First hosts will reach out to you the day before your flight in order to help you choose and book a complimentary spa treatment at one of the LaGaia Unedited spas. 

There are four 20-minute complimentary treatments available to choose from, including facial elevation, a neck, shoulder, and scalp massage, a hot stone back massage, or a foot soak and massage.

All lounges have high-quality food options, with sommeliers on hand to educate and help you decide between Champagnes and some of the finest Australian wines to go along with your meal.
