Lufthansa (FRA/MUC), Swiss (ZRH), and Air France La Premiere (CDG) are the three main European first class products from the US. Lufthansa's First Class Terminal in Frankfurt is widely regarded as the best ground experience in aviation. British Airways and Virgin fly first from the US to London.
First class to Europe typically costs $5,000-$10,000 roundtrip. Lufthansa occasionally runs sales to $4,000. With miles, Lufthansa first class costs 87,000 Aeroplan miles one-way (transfer from Amex, Chase, or Capital One) — one of the best first class award values globally.
The cheapest strategies: book during January/March sales (40-70% off), use split tickets through Dublin to save 10-24%, fly ex-EU positioning fares, or redeem points during transfer bonuses. QSuites from the US to European cities via Doha often costs less than direct business class.
