Hello community,
I am thinking of investing in a trip later this year. I’ve flown in economy every time I have flown I believe, and don’t get me wrong. Economy class is amazing! But I have the itch to sit in the front of the plane.
Unfortunately, I am not Bill Gates or anything so I don’t have a whole lot of cash on me, but that isn’t backing me down from looking into a first class/business ticket. I’ve scrolled the internet for countless hours looking for tips and tricks on getting a cheap first class/ business class ticket, and these are the only ways I’ve seen:
Obtaining an airline/valuable card
Using miles
I’m apart of many airline loyalty programs, but that doesn’t mean I have thousands of miles to spend. I leave you with this:
Is there any way besides the ones listed above to get a cheap first class/business class ticket? If so, how?
It typically doesn’t allow computer cookies to run in this window. Sometimes Airlines uses them and increase tickets. I was septic at first but I tried it when I flew to Europe and my price dropped a lot.
For example you flown
3 flights on southwest totalling 4000 miles
2 flights on American around 3000 miles
4 other flights you get on around 5000 miles?
If you’re only sticking with American for example, you might already be a silver or a gold member because you have 12000+ miles. It’s already a good start getting priority boarding, free checked bag or even upgrades sometimes.
I fly Cathay a lot(LAX-HKG in full price J) so I have Marco polo gold and also gaining miles with their mileage problem(Asia miles). I’m sometimes getting an upgrade to F, if not I use my asia miles to bump myself to F if I really need it. I’m not sure what the American airline’s program is but it should be similar
In your case, all you can gain miles with is a credit card
In here, it happens otherwise. The prices will be very high during school holidays or public holidays (Incl. Bank holidays) even on Business Class (But I guess the demand for F is still low even on holidays).
@Matthew_Chan So what your saying is I should transfer those points from other airlines into one airline? I’m not familiar on how to do that…surprising.
Also another thing
get a credit card and get air miles, I have the Alaska Airlines Signature card, Currently I have 50K miles, or 60. I got my credit card last year and started at 20 thousand this is a GREAT way to build miles!
I realize sticking to 1 airline is better, however when I’m just flying in economy I just look for the cheapest ticket, and whatever airline that is, I pick. So it’s not like I can stick to 1 airline all the time.
Look at The Points Guy and One Mile At A Time. They post really great deals. Also, get a frequent flyer account for every airline you fly on. You’ll eventually have a bunch of miles on a few different airlines in the same alliance. Then transfer those points to one airline account and enjoy!
