How To Find Cheaper Flights In Business And First Class
31.10.2023 - 19:23 / forbes.com
Flight prices have risen dramatically since the pandemic thanks to high demand and airlines lacking crew and aircraft to deliver their full pre-COVID routes and schedules. So, if you want to find a cheaper fare, how do you go about it?
Special deals often require a specific booking period, which can be three or six months in advance. However, if you see a sale such as Black Friday before that point, there is nothing wrong with booking further in advance. Get an idea of the best airfares on the route you want so you know to secure a good deal when you see it.
You can also use Google Flights to track flight prices for specific dates.
There are lots of tips about booking on certain days of the week etc that only work occasionally. However, it is definitely worth considering the day you travel on. Most airlines' discounted fares are for mid-week travel, which usually includes Tuesday and Wednesday but sometimes Thursday. There can be a significant saving on some of these fares, which offset any extra hotel nights you need to add.
Some fares also still require you to stay a Saturday night to get the cheapest deal, so it's worth trying to include one to see if that lowers the price.
The most significant savings are often from flying from a different airport and within Europe, in particular, flying from an other country. For example, if you fly from Dublin to many US destinations, you can save up to £2000 per business class ticket versus flying from the UK.
Although flying direct may be more convenient, indirect flights can be significantly cheaper. Plus, on some airlines, this extra stop will give you extra miles and status credits, which are worth bearing in mind if you collect them.
Some airlines such as TAP, Qatar and Emirates often have stopover programs that can be free or discounted for you to stay a night or two in their home country to encourage tourism there. This way, you get two destinations for the price of one.
When booking connecting flights, make sure they are on one ticket, as some agencies will sell separate tickets but on one booking. If you have everything on one ticket, you will be protected if you miss the connection due to your delayed flight. However, check how much time you need to connect, as airlines sometimes sell tickets that make for a very tight connection. For example, when flying into the US, you must clear customs and immigration, including picking up and rechecking your luggage if you connect to another US destination. This can take a significant amount of time, although major airports do at least have a drop-off point for luggage for connections rather than returning to check-in.
Make sure you do your research on what you will actually get for your money. For example, on a

How I learned to make and sleep in a Swedish snowhole – at minus 30C
One British childhood winter experience remains the same, despite all the changes of the past century. It’s the one where you gaze out of the window, mesmerised by the falling snow, and start fantasising about building an igloo or a snow cave, then sleeping in it overnight. A few fortunate kids get to follow that up, but for most the fantasy is quickly quashed. The blizzard stops, the snow melts, you lob some slush at your mates then go inside to watch Ski Sunday.

Maryland fried chicken: A storied dish with Titanic history
Anyone interested in food as a window to class could do worse than exploring the options available on the RMS Titanic. The handful of menus that survived the wreck reveal important differences in the way the ocean liner's passengers ate. While third-class passengers dined on rice soup, gruel and cabin biscuits (essentially, a stomach-settling hardtack), first-class diners had a panoply of options.
