The price of first class seats has dropped dramatically compared to just a few months ago. We have some sample airfares that you have just got to check out to believe. One of the many benefits of flying in the front cabin are that airlines such as American and Delta permit you to check up to three bags for free.

When we looked at the cost of checking three bags; it would cost $25 for the first bag, $35 for the second bag, and up to $150 for the third bag each-way, for a grand total of $420 roundtrip on baggage fees alone.

For those extra few bucks for a seat in first class, you get priority boarding, priority security, a bigger seat; you get on and off the plane first, more leg room, two by two seating, snacks, or a full meal, check up to three bags for free, and of course, your choice of several adult beverages.

If you want to take advantage of these discounted first class USA airfares you must travel between January 2 and May 8, 2013. Please note there are also some reduced one-way first class class airfares available.

To book first class airfares on our site change the class of service from economy to first class. You may also want to change the exact dates to flexible dates to let the system price out the possible cheapest first class airfare around the time you are wanting to travel.

Once you have done that search, you may want to go back and check the box that says search nearby airports. This tool is key in helping you find the Bestfares.
