I recently flew Qantas first class on an A380. I thought it would be like BusinessClass+ but nope, first class is a class of its own, and in a good way. It's the comfort, the freedom of movement and all the conveniences that come with it that make the difference. Sure the food, drinks and service you get are better, but that's just secondary to the points i just mentioned. Fk, give me economy class food on first class it will barely make a difference to the experience.

It was SYD to JNB, 15 hours to JNB and 12 hours on the way back. I honestly would have rather stayed up in the air than land at JNB. It was that comfy. These super long flights made the experience that much better.

Qantas first class on a380 is on the lower deck at the front of the plane. There are these stairs you can go up to the upper deck into this lounge that can be accessed by first and business class passengers. You know who's who depending on the pajama's theyre wearing. So i was acting all smug to everyone else who was hanging out in the lounge while i was watching my anime on my ipad and sipping on blue label.

I don't want to talk about if it was financially worth it or not (it was a $12k AUD return ticket fyi). But if any of you folks get a chance to get a long-haul first class ticket on a wide body, you should definitely take it! Also, AMA.
