I paid cash for this one. I don't have status or miles on AA or BA and probably wouldn't have burned them on BA First if I did. My miles are with another alliance and I'm saving them up for an around-the-world trip with an Asian airline. Cathay/Singapore/Emirates/Etihad are the only first class products worth blowing miles on, IMHO.

I've flown pretty much every single first class long-haul product. There are some great first on non-Asian airlines too. You name Emirates / Etihad. I'd say my all time favorite first class is Swiss, and Lufthansa is great too.

Here's the full list I'd consider aspirational and worth flying in long-haul first: - Swiss - Lufthansa - Air France - Garuda Indonesia - Singapore - Emirates - Etihad - Korean Air (on 748i and 77W only) - Thai

Not quite at the same level but still great: - JAL - ANA - Qatar - Asiana - Cathay Pacific

The rest are not as good.
