§   Conserving company revenue when business class flight shopping online can be as easy as buying two or three tickets instead of one.

¶   Since most of the Internet booking engines do not allow class selection for each flight segment, the work around is buying individual tickets for each flight segment anyway. That gives you the opportunity to conserve company funds by booking business class for only the long haul flight segments and booking separately with a low cost carrier or legacy carrier in coach class for the short haul flights. You also gain more control over your trip itinerary and expand your choice of airlines.

¶   Airlines rarely let business and first class seats go to consolidators and rarely offer discounts through any distribution scheme. Nonetheless, some airline consolidators do quite well securing business and even first class seats. Multiple low cost airlines are working to expand business class only routes and offer seats at a discount, even for long haul flights. If neither of those options is available to you, just yet or just now, shopping business class only for the long haul flight segments, you have a better chance of finding a discount seat. You would, then, be shopping major to major airports and be looking at a greater selection of flights. You might then be shopping a route that adds carriers via the international air freedoms. Both can occur together and both yield an increase in the number of flights and airlines and thus improve your chance of finding a discount among them.

¶   For example, when flying to Europe or the Mediterranean or the Middle East or even North Africa on business, shop the major airports for your business class arrival and take advantage of the fifty plus budget carriers to go from there to your destination. Try London Amsterdam, Zurich, Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Frankfurt among others like Sofia, Athens, Cairo and Istanbul. Finding a discount for a business class seat into those airports is much less difficult and booking a flight for pocket change from there to your destination is easier. The same tactic holds up well when doing business in Asia and especially the Pacific. Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai make great arrival cities for business class flights and offer many low cost flights from there onward. For India: Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkatta, Bangalore and Chennai are great for business arrivals and all are served by low cost carriers for onward trips. For South America: Caracas, Quito, Bogota, Lima, La Paz, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Asuncion, Rio, Brasilia, Cayenne, Paramaribo and Georgetown are good for business arrivals and for lower cost flights onward, not only within the continent but very helpful getting to islands in the Pacific, Atlantic and the Caribbean. Getting to some Carribbean islands: Panama City and Belize City and Cancun are specially helpful while San Jose, Managua and Tegucigalpa deserve an honorable mention.

¶   Using two or more tickets will increase headaches and risk. Checked bags will have to be collected and rechecked between tickets. Cross ticket connections are not covered by airline policy so allow plenty of layover time between tickets and consider travel cover. Since a person will often save hundreds of dollars or more, travel cover or even a sleepover between cross ticket connections will still show a profit. Before you shop this way, secure all essential travel documents. Additional transit visas or special permits or even a visitor visa might become necessary, although rarely. Most of the time, your multiple tickets will get you through customs as well as one ticket. It usually comes more with the buy as you go travel that the roll your own itinerary presents a need for additional permits or visas.

¶   By the way; this money saving shopping strategy works from the departure side as well as the destination side of the business class segment. Drive or ride or fly at low cost from home or office to a major airport that offers the cost reduction opportunities discussed above. Thinking beyond the solitary Internet booking engine and single ticket and itineraries forced by someone else will often yield precisely the itinerary you want at a price you are quite pleased to pay. Bon voyage. Gute Reise. Buen Viaje. Have a good trip.
