Growing Trend: Special Business Class Fares to Europe Less than Premium Economy over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter

Fly to Europe in Business Class for $89 Less than Premium Economy over the Holidays.

This trend is low-cost Business Class Holiday Season fares, and by all accounts, it looks like they’re sticking around for a while with dates into 2020. In some cases, we’re even seeing fares on Business Class flights lower than Premium Economy—can you say “free upgrade?” This is because during holiday seasons, more leisure travelers fly (and business travelers stay home), so economy and Premium Economy fares are often higher, typically ranging from $1,000 to $1,800.

Low-Cost and Free Upgrades from the East Coast

Example: Fly Business Class to Shannon, Ireland, from New York and Boston on British Airways for just $1,695 in December and April.
