Every guide here is built from Biirdee's own data. The routes come from the schedule data behind our route pages, checked against our desk's carrier and aircraft references; the prices come from our fare scans and award scanners; and the ticket counts come from the first class tickets our desk has issued. Start with which US cities have which first class or the best first class airlines, or go straight to your airport: Los Angeles, New York JFK, San Francisco, Miami, Boston, Chicago or Dallas/Fort Worth.
Weighing two cabins? The head-to-heads cover ANA The Room vs The Suite, ANA The Suite vs JAL First, Singapore Suites vs Emirates First and KrisFlyer Advantage vs Access awards.
