Airline First Class Guide December 2010March 2013

Contents

WelcomeThis is the third edition of Travel Daily’s First Class Airline Guide, and has been updated with all the latest information about the first class offerings of carriers which market this premium cabin in the Australian market.

Despite changes in travel patterns, First Class is still in demand on many routes, with discerning top-end travellers usually utilising travel agents to book their flights. This guide has been produced in response to requests from Travel Daily’s many industry readers for a simple, consistent reference they can use to help their key premium clients.

As with our other guides, different airlines have chosen to contribute varying amounts of information to the guide and we have attempted to include as much detail as possible depending on the available space.

The First Class guide complements our comprehensive range of airline products which also include Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class guides - all accessible from our website at traveldaily.com.au/features.
