  • How to regularly fly First Class (and the best cabins to pick)
    Dec 28 2025

    First Class flights look outrageous on Instagram. Private suites, showers in the sky and champagne worth more than your weekly shop. But are they actually worth the points? In this episode of the Point Hacks Podcast, Tobias Venus is joined by frequent First Class flyer, Chris Chamberlin, to break down the best First Class seats you can book from Australia, how many points they really cost, and when it actually makes sense to splurge.

    From Singapore Airlines Suites to Emirates’ “Game Changer” First Class, we rank the top options, explain how to find reward availability, and share real strategies for booking First Class with points — even if you don’t have elite status.
