Extract values from a json enclosed between [[ ]] array

Can someone help me extract values from json like below:

[
    [
        {
            "name": "x", 
            "age": "y", 
            "class": "z"
        }
    ]
]

I would like to extract age from the above json using jq

The pedestrian way:

.[] | .[] | .age

The briefer way:

.[][].age

Another possibility to consider (it has different semantics) would be:

 .. | .age?
