Planning for a trip to Cadiz, Spain? Your choice of international air travel, sad to say, is bleak: empty your wallet or wreck havoc to your body. If you choose to fly business class, you will be rewarded with a comfortable chair that may turn into a bed and other first-class amenities but this comes with a hefty price tag. Forsake your body and fly cheap but you will be uncomfortable.
There is an affordable middle ground. Savvy travellers can recline in comfort for less cost than standard business class fares. Here are some tips for finding reasonable fares.

First, choose a new airline. The huge price difference between coach and unrestricted business class has spawned an entirely new kind of airline – the all business class carrier with rational prices. Maxjet, a new airline offers fliers most of the perks that other airlines extend to business class customers. The only difference is the price.

Pick an established carrier offering a satisfactory price. When your travels extend beyond London, you can find a reasonable deal on business class travel on most old-line carriers. These carriers are now willing to slash up to two-thirds of the cost of a business class seat provided you must comply with their rules and restrictions.

Select a new class. The gap between full-fare business class and discounted coach has led some international carriers to come up with a new category – the economy plus or premium economy which is wedged between coach and business class cabins. British Airways’ World Travellers Plus is a fine example of an economy class category.

Search for a special sale. The concept of fare wars in business class is most beneficial to passengers. International airlines are now giving discounted rates on their premium classes of service. In recent years, British Airways has mounted sales that cut business fares. Other airlines offer Web specials on business class.

Another way to uncover a good deal on business class is to look around for a package deal. Land-air packages that bundle hotel accommodations and airfare cost a tiny portion of the business class seat. A package deal usually includes accommodations, round-trip transportation between hotel and airport, daily breakfast plus airfare.

All these options can be had on the Internet but rules and restrictions can be confusing. A knowledgeable travel agent can be a great help.
