Traveling with family or friends to new destinations is something exciting that we all want to do often. But to enjoy the vacation in the best possible way, we should pay special attention to the flight.

In this regard, if you travel often, then you surely know that there are the worst and the best times of the year to fly. We should not forget that there are so-called expensive days that we must avoid. 

By finding the right time to fly, you can save money and ensure more comfort, especially for international flights over 6 hours. But let’s see when is the best time to fly.

The Worst Times of the Year to Fly

Let’s see when might be the best time to fly. Surely you’ve guessed that the days when there is less demand for seats, then it is one of the best times to fly. Ticket prices are certainly much lower, allowing you to arrange an affordable family holiday.

It means that the periods when there is the most demand for seats are the worst times of the year to fly. These are the days around national holidays, famous sporting events, various major festivals organized in the desired destination, and the periods when children have school holidays.

Unfortunately, you can’t always comply with this and arrange your holiday according to these bad periods to fly. Very often, some people can have a vacation only on public holidays or work at school, so their vacation coincides with the children’s.

In these cases, we can recommend a few things to pay attention to make your holiday as pleasant and not so expensive as possible.

Our first tip is to choose destinations that are not so popular. Replace a trip to the beach with a visit to a city you’ve never visited before. There are pretty many fascinating and not-so-famous cities worth seeing.

Another tip we can give you is to be flexible in choosing dates. Try to fly a day or two earlier or to give up a day of your trip so that you decide dates on which flights will be relatively cheaper.

Some of the worst days to fly are on holidays such as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, The President’s Day, Spring Break, Memorial Day, Summer Break, Independence Day, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. 

As we said, note if there is a sports event coming up, the most famous among them being Oktoberfest, Christmas markets, Olympics, World Cup, Super Bowl, etc.

The Best Times of the Year to Fly

Determining the worst times of the year to fly is much easier than deciding the best times to fly. One of the primary and most essential things in deciding the suitable period is to choose a less popular destination and to travel during a period that is not peak, i.e., there is the least demand for flights.

Of course, we all want to see the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum in Paris, Venice Canals and Colosseum in Italy, Prague Castle in the Czech Republic, and many others. But all these destinations are extremely popular, so if your choice is any of these countries, then research which is the period when there is lesser demand.

It is essential to share that every destination has a high season and a low season. It means that one of the worst periods is the high season because then there is more demand for seats, and accordingly, the prices for airline tickets are higher.

The essential thing to remember is that there is a period known as shoulder season between the high season and the low season. It is the perfect period when you can visit your desired destination. That is when airfares are affordable, and at the same time, you will experience the benefits of the high season.

The Best Days of the Week to Fly

Determining the best days of the week to fly is similar to choosing the best time of the year to fly. In this regard, one thing is sure, the most significant demand for seats is on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. That means that airfares are also highest then.

On the other hand, business travelers usually choose to fly on Fridays. Therefore, some of the best days of the week to fly are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Note that sometimes these rules don’t work for long international flights. It is advisable to plan your trip and keep an eye on the flights of your chosen airline. Moreover, a round trip often proves at more advantageous prices.

The Worst Days of the Week to Fly

As we mentioned above, the worst days of the week to fly are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The main reasons for this are business travels and vacations. On these days, airfares are highest, and there are fewer award seats.

These three days are the most convenient for business travelers. And as for the people who use the holidays to visit some exciting destination, these are the days that are most convenient for them to arrange a family trip. Most Americans typically go on two- or three-week vacations.

The Rules Don’t Always Apply

Unfortunately, we can’t say that everything we’ve shared above works in every case. It’s crucial to say that the rules vary for international flights, and it’s hard to determine what works and what doesn’t. 

There are cases where it turns out that days like Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are not always the worst days of the week to fly or with the least number of award seats.

Therefore, it is essential to do detailed research about the airline you choose, the destination, and the period you want to travel. Keep an eye on the ticket prices in advance and choose those that suit your budget.

The Best Day of the Week to Book

Is there a best day of the week to book? Unfortunately, no such day can be determined. Although you will find various information on this topic on the internet, it is often very inconclusive. If there were the best day, there would hardly be people booking tickets on the other days of the week.

The truth is that airlines are constantly adjusting airfares according to many factors. But there are no specific rules to figure out when is the best time to book your flight tickets.

Help With Researching Prices

Finding cheap tickets is a vast topic in which there are no set rules so that you always find affordable tickets. We recommend you do your research beforehand by keeping track of prices from earlier. Another way of discovering cheap tickets is to be flexible on dates.

If you have to fly on specific dates and cannot change them, finding cheap tickets mainly depends on your luck. Nowadays, various online tools are available to track and compare ticket prices for different dates and airlines, so the only thing left is to research in detail.

In conclusion, the essential thing is to make sure you are comfortable with the price you are paying. If the ticket prices are acceptable to you, don’t wait for them to lower them further because that can play a bad joke on you.

When it comes to flying by plane, we should talk more about the experience an airline can offer its passengers.

In this regard, Business Class Flights and First Class Flights are the most fantastic choices you can make. Although the ticket price is significantly higher than Economy Class Flights, it is undoubtedly worth it to experience Business and First Class amenities.

It’s no coincidence that we’ll pay special attention to the world’s best business class airlines in this article. For this purpose, we’re going back to 2021 to see which are the top 10 airlines that offer the best experience and what makes them stand out.

About the World Airline Awards

Image source: Unsplash

The World Airline Awards started in 1999. The World Airline Awards began in 1999. These awards are apart because the awards survey process is not restricted to member airlines or a pre-selected choice of airline. Any airline in the world can be nominated, and that’s more than great.

There are no fees required to enter the event, and there are no other costs whatsoever. Another advantage is that customers rate the different airlines they have used according to the different categories.

It gives a real insight into the quality of service and the experience that different passengers experience. And although some of the airlines may not be among some people’s favorites.

These awards allow you to discover which are the world’s best airlines and could offer you the best experience, especially when it comes to Business and First Class.

If you have an international flight coming up, then take a look at the top airlines and research the amenities they offer to find the airline that suits your needs and budget.

Long flights are a huge challenge. If you have to fly less often, then there are certainly a lot of questions for you, such as Will I find a flight on a date convenient for me? Which class should I choose – Economy, First Class or Business Class? How full is my flight going to be? 

And these are just a few of all the questions you will want to find the right answer to.

One thing is for sure. You will undoubtedly want to ensure maximum comfort when you have a long international travel ahead of you. Newer and more modern aircraft can offer much more convenience than older ones. 

Here, too, the choice of class plays an important role. And you will get the best experience by choosing First Class or Business Class flights. Some of the main factors influencing the choice are seating arrangement, legroom, entertainment during the flight, humidity levels, aircraft age, etc.

Passengers who fly frequently and want to enjoy as many amenities as possible know what to look for – they check the aircraft before booking a seat. 

It is especially crucial for Business and First Class, as you can find significant differences in the services and products offered. Let’s look at a few essential things to understand why the aircraft you’re flying on matters. 

Find the Flight Number

We advise you when looking for flights to pay special attention to all the details related to the flight and the aircraft. It is essential to know if the plane is new or old. 

It is also advisable to find the answers to the following questions: 

• What are the seats, and are they comfortable for a long flight?
• What extras does the airline offer for the given route?
• Is there entertainment for children?
• Is it worth it to upgrade to first class?

You can find all this information about air travel with a particular plane before buying flight tickets. Fortunately, today, many helpful official websites provide you with detailed information about specific aircraft. 

In addition, you can get more information about how many seats there are in each class, how they’re configured, and very detailed information about the seats themselves such as width, type, etc. 

Last but not least, you can find information about the most desirable seats and which ones to avoid. 

Looking for the Age of the Aircraft?

You will find absolutely everything you are interested in on the Internet about your airplane trip. There are a variety of applications where you can find more information about the age of the aircraft, airlines, airport schedules, etc., by entering the tail number of the plane. 

But keep in mind that old planes often have extremely modernized designs, such as Delta Air Lines. So a newer aircraft does not always mean getting the most excellent amenities. That also applies to the choice of class. 

Passengers often think that First Class flights will be the best experience whichever airline they choose. The truth is that most airlines do not offer the same amenities in First and Business Class. 

There are times when it’s not worth it. For this purpose, it is good to look for more reviews on the Internet of passengers who have traveled by specific plane and airline.

Why an Aircraft Will be Different from Airline to Airline?

Each airline will offer you a different type of experience. It is mainly due to the design of the cabin. Airlines differ primarily in their philosophy, with some relying on a more comfortable and luxurious experience, which they know passengers are willing to pay more for. 

But other airlines have decided not to offer so many amenities at the expense of lower and affordable prices.

The airlines themselves decide :

• how many seats they will offer on the plane
• how the seats should be arranged
• what type they will be
• how wide seats should be 
• what additional extras they should have. 

Moreover, each airline decides for itself whether to offer in-flight entertainment, as well as how big the toilets are, etc. However, all this is possible with the approval of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).

Do more detailed research on Google

Type the exact name of the plane and its tail number when you research Google. Look for reviews of passengers who have traveled this plane, look for photos and see the news. 

You can find information about improvements, design updates, or products they offer and determine if this is the best choice for you. However, long international flights over 6 hours can be very exhausting. Therefore, we advise you to do the necessary research to ensure your choice.

Do you know what the flyer rights are?

When we talk about the choice of aircraft and airline, we should mention your  passenger rights. What is being observed is that most passengers do not know all their rights. 

In short, we can say that the flyer rights can vary from country to country. They are mainly related to delays, flight cancellations, and lost luggage. However, one thing is for sure – no matter which country is your home, you have rights as an air passenger.

Take the United States, for example. Flyers rights under American airlines’ passenger rights protect US passengers against denied boarding and luggage issues. Unfortunately, however, there are restrictions on other types of disruption that passengers may face.

In Canada and the EU, a regulation covers all air travel rights. However, this is not true for the United States. In other words, you are protected by whatever flyers rights under the specific airline regulations. 

All flyer rights are described in the Conditions of Carriage or Terms & Conditions of the respective airline. Therefore, pay special attention to what flyers rights for canceled flights give you. And the rights you have can vary from airline to airline.

That is why it is crucial to do detailed research before booking a flight, which will help you compare the prices of airline tickets and find out more about the amenities you will receive and what your flyer rights are. Only in this way can you ensure the best trip.

Today, flying Business Class has not accidentally become a preferred option by many people. Long haul flights can be exhausting, which is why it is essential to think about the comfort you will need when choosing a flight and class.

Economy Class, on the other hand, is less a choice for passengers with a flight longer than 6 hours. Although Economy Class tickets are much more affordable, the seats are one of the main reasons people prefer to pay a higher price but get more comfort. 

And the benefits that Business Class can offer passengers are many and certainly worth it.

The last few years have seen an improved Business Class experience. With the introduction of various innovations, improved seats were introduced. 

They are more convenient and wider, turning into comfortable beds, and there is a distance between them. And let’s not forget that Business Class seats go from recliners to seats with direct aisle access and suites with doors.

In this regard, we want to share the ranking of the World Airline Awards for the world’s 10 best Business Class airlines, lounges, seats, and onboard catering. 

The ranking is for 2021, and what you need to know about the World Airline Awards is that it was created in 1999, also known as the Oscars of the aviation industry.

Interestingly, the research process is not limited to member airlines. They are not pre-selected, nor is there any fee for participating in this survey. The ranking is based on customer surveys, aiming to provide more information each year about some of the best airlines in the world. 

World’s Best Business Class Airlines 2021

This year, the leader in all four categories is Qatar Airways. The airline once again proves that it offers one of the best experiences in Business Class. 

And the reasons for this are many, some of the biggest of which are:

• Personalized comfort – by introducing various innovations, you have the opportunity to configure your suite according to the needs you have, ensuring maximum and very personalized comfort.
• Delicious world-class food – another thing that Qatar Airways is known for is the fantastic food, which indeed can not be said to be food from an airplane.
  
• You order food whenever you want – when you board the plane, you will receive a menu from which you can order a desired dish during the entire flight.
  
• You will be pampered on board – your pleasant journey begins from the moment you board the plane. As a passenger of the airline, you will receive hygiene and bedding to feel the maximum comfort of Business Class.

These are just a few of the amenities that Qatar Airways provides. But it is essential to share that this is not the only airline that can offer you a truly fantastic experience during an international Business Class flight.

Flying Business Class travel has always been much more exciting than the economy. Business Class flights offer passengers many more conveniences and opportunities, so you have a pleasant and much more comfortable flight. 

Especially when it comes to long international flights that are over 6 hours, it is worth considering the option of traveling in business class.

As we know, however, business class tickets are much more expensive than economic ones. It often proves to be an obstacle for us to reap the benefits that this class provides us, especially when it comes to traveling with family and children.

Of course, there is no denying that more spacious seats, food, priority boarding, and many other amenities are why many passengers choose the business class. But as we have already shared, there is only one obstacle to the dream trip – the cost of business class tickets. 

But don’t worry. In this article, we will share some exciting hacks on how to find cheaper business class flights. Take a look and try them, and we’ll be happy to know that they did an excellent job for you. 

Watch For a Great Deal on Google Flights or Skyscanner

If you do not have to travel often, you certainly do not have the experience to look for cheap tickets, whether economy or business class. We recommend that you start tracking tickets on Google Flights or Skyscanner that help you find international flights. 

You don’t even know how reasonable prices can come out and how much it will cost to buy a business class ticket than economy class ticket. In addition, we recommend that you start earlier. Research well and follow regularly to find the excellent ticket price.

Be Flexible With Your Dates

If you are looking for airline tickets for specific days, the chances of finding business class tickets at good prices are extremely low. Leave the fields blank, do not fill in any dates, and see what offers you will get. 

Usually, airline ticket prices are incredibly high on public holidays and Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. And let’s not forget that as the desired date of travel approaches, the prices for flight tickets are getting higher. And the price difference can be either minimal or start at $1,000.

Buy a Business Class Seat in a Package

Did you know that you can bundle a business class seat with a hotel? Thus, the price of airline tickets in business class is much cheaper. If you are hearing for the first time, this is a great idea for finding cheaper business class tickets. 

Also, another hack is that if you don’t like the hotel, you can only pay for one night and take your cheap ticket.

Get Notifications From a Deal Alert Service for Cheap Cash Fare

Another great idea is to use the professional services of a company that will do it for you. 

The advantages of this are that it will be much easier for you, especially if you are looking for business class tickets for the first time, you rarely have to travel by plane, or you are not so familiar with the opportunities offered by different major airlines. 

And, believe us, you can find great deals on business class tickets, as long as you know how to search.

Redeem Points For an Upgraded Seat

Many airlines have loyalty programs that aim to offer passengers the opportunity to take advantage of reasonable business class travel offers. For example, cashing out points can give you a much better price for an upgraded ticket than buying it in cash.

And, of course, this requires planning and a little more knowledge to know how to do it. It is advisable to follow tour groups and various websites where you can get a lot of helpful information about different ways to get a much cheaper business class ticket. 

See If Buying Points Makes Sense

As we shared, many airlines offer loyalty programs that aim to provide you with cheaper tickets. For example, you can buy points for an upgraded business class ticket, thus paying much less than purchasing the same ticket in cash. 

That is a perfect opportunity, as you can take advantage of the benefits that business class offers, but at much more affordable prices. 

Lesser-Known Airlines

Choosing the right airline is the key to finding cheap business class flights. In this regard, larger and well-known airlines, known for their Business and First Class, usually offer much higher ticket prices. And not each of them has the option to upgrade their business class tickets, making it impossible to find cheaper tickets.

On the other hand, however, newer airlines are just entering the market. They will undoubtedly be willing to work harder to impress passengers and make them choose them. 

In this regard, they can offer you much cheaper business and First Class tickets, saving hundreds of dollars per ticket. At the same time, they will try to make you feel as comfortable as possible during your flight, providing you with the perfect service.
