For those of you not familiar with Amex Offers, it’s a program available through most Amex cards, where different cards are eligible for different savings and bonus offers. In many cases the offers can be huge, and more than offset the annual fee on…
Wow! We often see discounted first and business class fares, but rarely are they available in business markets. As a general rule of thumb it's much more common to see cheap transatlantic fares out of Europe than out of the US, and it's also rare to…
British Airways has just announced a very generous double Avios promotion for flights. On the one hand I can't imagine the timing of this is a coincidence, as it follows two days of pilot strikes, and a further pilot strike just being called off. On…
Qatar Airways Qsuites is my favorite business class product in the world. Historically the airline has also had exceptional business class fares, though for quite a while the number of sales were limited, especially for travel originating in the US.…
British Airways has just launched a summer companion fare sale, for anyone looking for a last minute gateway. There are some things that make this sale unique: -- It's mostly for last minute travel -- It's a companion offer, so it's only valid if you're…
Google Flights is one of the most useful tools out there for researching airfare. They make it really easy to compare airfare across airlines, and also offer useful features like price tracking, and they'll even tell you if they forecast that the fare…
Virgin Atlantic's new A350-1000 will be their first plane to feature the new Upper Class seats, which look like a significant improvement over their current business class. Just a couple of days ago, Virgin Atlantic formally scheduled their first A350…
A few weeks ago I wrote about this good fare, though I wanted to push this to the top since the fare is still around, and also since the fare is now valid for travel through the end of the year, so it allows you to visit closer to peak season (previously…
This year WestJet has added 787s to their fleet, which is an exciting development. WestJet's 787s are their first planes to feature a proper business class product, as they have 16 reverse herringbone seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. I had the chance…

While overall Qatar Airways doesn't offer as many great business class fares as they used to out of North America, we have been seeing a good number of deals so far this year. For example, a few weeks ago I wrote about how Qatar Airways has ~2,000USD…
At the moment Icelandair has some spectacular business class fares from the US and Canada to Iceland, starting at just $740 roundtrip. Now before you get too excited, Icelandair's business class isn't amazing, as it's more like domestic first class than…
At the moment SkyTeam airlines have some exceptional business class fares for travel from Nairobi to the US. I know I don't have that many readers based in Kenya, but if you're traveling to Africa and/or are going on safari in Kenya, it could pay to…
This just keeps getting better. A couple of months ago I wrote about some great Qatar Airways business class fares from Montreal to Bangkok, and now the fares are even lower! Qatar Airways Qsuites is my favorite business class product in the world. Historically…
This isn't really anything new, though I think this is worth a reminder, as the value proposition of this is better than ever before. That's because TAP has A330-900neos with a great new business class product, and they're also significantly expanding…
At the moment British Airways has some spectacular fares for roundtrip business class travel from New York to Berlin this summer. The fares seem to be valid for travel starting late June through late September. Some dates have a seven night minimum stay…
This isn't the greatest fare in the history of the planet, but it's an excellent fare nonetheless for anyone looking to fly Emirates first class. Emirates used to fly nonstop from Colombo to Singapore. Unfortunately they've discontinued the route a while…
Nowadays it's quite rare to see frequent flyer programs actually offer promotions that incentivize flying. A vast majority of promotions nowadays seem to be for non-flying activities. Personally I'd pose the question if someone should be running a loyalty…
TAP Air Portugal is known for their excellent paid business class fares, and also for their generally good award availability. The airline has long been a great option for crossing the Atlantic, but is now even better than in the past: -- The airline…
