How to Fly First Class and Business Class for Less
...Here are 10 quick first class air travel tips:
1. Flexibility - Be flexible with your travel dates and try to book your first class ticket in advance to get the less expensive fares. Many online booking engines such as Orbitz and Travelocity have flexible date search tools which are very helpful in tracking down the lowest available airfare over a set period of time. Always select "lowest fare" when doing an airfare search online. Choosing the "fully flexible" fare will bring up the full fare price.
2. Book In Advance - Never book too close to your departure day as you will probably have to pay the full published fare which will be very expensive. For example, Los Angeles to Hong Kong full fare with Cathay Pacific will run to nearly $14,000. That is why first class full fare tickets are generally only bought by corporate travellers on business.
3. Travel Days - You should avoid peak business travel days like Monday and Friday. Add a Saturday night stay to reduce the fare further.
