How to Book First Class Tickets

Traveling regularly in coach can be cramped and chaotic. Dealing with gate and security queues, paying extra for baggage and sitting next to a screaming infant can all make your trip exceedingly unpleasant. With economy cabin meal and beverage services diminishing on short-haul and domestic flights as well, it might be time to make a change and start booking first class. Whether for the usual business trip or a special occasion, booking first class changes the nature of your airborne journey.

      Contact a travel agency as a first point of attack. Find out about discounted first-class tickets or groups of tickets they may have available. Some airline carriers will sell a block of discounted first class seats to a travel agent or can negotiate a better deal for you with the airlines. Travel agencies that specialize in first-class and business-class tickets can also prove helpful.

      Search out discounted first class-tickets by identifying Y-UP or Q-UP fare codes. For flights to Asia or Europe, look for Z-UP fares. These fares will usually be found on one-way tickets rather than round-trip.
