Finding First Class Award Flights on Oneworld

Finding First Class award availability within the Oneworld alliance can be challenging due to limited seat offerings and high demand. However, certain frequent flyer programs are particularly effective for locating and booking these premium awards in 2025.

Some of our preferred programs for booking First Class on oneworld partners in 2025 are:

  1. American Airlines AAdvantage: Great for transpacific First Class travel, especially with partners like Japan Airlines and Cathay Pacific. Easy to earn miles and user-friendly award search.
  2. Qantas Frequent Flyer: Provides access to both Qantas and Oneworld partner First Class seats. Availability may be limited, and mileage requirements are higher.
  3. British Airways Club: Offers extensive access to Oneworld partner flights. Avios can be used for First Class awards but watch out for high taxes and fees. Also, watch out for the recent change in the program.
