Fly First Class on AMEX Points

Flying first class on Amex points can be a great way to maximize the value of your rewards. Here are some steps to follow:

Check Your Amex Rewards Balance

Check your Amex rewards balance to see if you have enough points to cover the cost of a first-class ticket.

Search For Award Availability

Once you've chosen the airline and route, search for award availability using the airline's website or a booking tool like ExpertFlyer. Look for flights with first-class availability and note the date, time, and flight number.

Transfer Points To The Airline Loyalty Program

If you have enough Amex points to cover the cost of the first-class ticket, transfer your points to the airline loyalty program. This can usually be done online or over the phone. Keep in mind that transfers can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete.

BOOK YOUR FIRST-CLASS TICKET

Once the points transfer is complete, book your first-class ticket using the airline's website or over the phone with the airline's customer service department.
