AT, although Cathays business class is far superior to most US carriers 1st, I strongly encourage you to contact the Dead head sub-committee of the SIG. Please PM me via this site for details. You have several viable options. Not the least of which is going out and getting your own 1st class ticket which the Company will pay for. But go to the source (SIG DH sub-committee) for the real gouge.
