Hello Team PB,

Ever wondered why you can never snag a first class seat? It's usually because someone has gone online and booked them on the day they first became available.

We have provided a cracking tool to help you get to the front of the queue. Just put in the date you want to travel and we tell you when the booking window opens. A must bookmark tool for anyone who is trying to score a seat at the front of the plane.

There are just two ways to travel: in the front of the plane or the back. We review both with Annie claiming a full eight hours sleep in economy and Milton claiming a first class hangover.

For those who have or aspire to Platinum of First Class travel we review the awesome Pier First Class Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport. Possibly our favourite First Class lounge (and we have been to a few!).

Milton reviewed the three Michelin star restaurant Le Bernardin in New York (on the same trip Drew and Julie ate at the more affordable but unreviewed by us Luke's Lobster.

Review: The Pier First Class Lounge
The Pier First Class Lounge has been universally regarded as one of the best First Class lounges in the world since opening in 2015, and I was excited to finally be seeing it for myself.Designed by Ilse Crawford to be residential and comfortable, in sharp contrast to the modern and minimalist The Wing First Class Lounge at the opposite end …
