The price of first class flights varies substantially based on the airline, route, and time of booking @Donna . According to a recent study, American Airlines provides some of the cheapest first-class tickets on specific itineraries. For example, they sell first-class flights from Los Angeles to Maui for around $650 and from New York to Los Angeles for about $684.
For a more comprehensive comparison, you might want to look at websites like KAYAK, which lists international first class flights starting at $637.
Keep in mind that rates change regularly, so compare prices across airlines and booking platforms to find the best discounts.
The cheapest approach to fly business or first is to wait for a good price. Typically discovered between 4 and 12 months before departure.
If you’re looking for a flight on a specific route, establish price alerts in Google Flights.
Sometimes you can purchase points during a sale and book an award flight. I flew AMS - DXB in J and DXB - AMS in F (both EK) for ~ €1.2k earlier last month.

Compared to most domestic first class goods in the US, international/long-haul first class offers a distinct experience. They are just not comparable. The majority of domestic “first class” products in the US are inferior to even international business class.
Naturally, you have to take into account that on foreign flights, business and first class are much more expensive.
