Can I book a one-way Business Class ticket from Europe to the US?
Yes. We book one-way Business Class from any European city to New York and across the US. We price the one-way on its own and compare it with one-stop options, which are sometimes the better ticket.
Is a one-way Business Class ticket more expensive than a return?
Sometimes. On some routes and dates a one-way costs close to a return, on others it is fairly priced. That is why we compare the one-way with other ways to sell the same seat, such as a different airline, a connection or a different departure city, before we quote.
Do US airlines sell First Class across the Atlantic?
Mostly no. United Polaris and Delta One are Business Class. American Airlines sells Flagship First on selected flights from London Heathrow to New York.
Short notice and midweek
How last-minute can I book Business Class from Europe to the US?
Up to the day of departure, subject to seats. We regularly book Business Class for travel the same week, the next day or the same day, one-way or return.
Can I fly out midweek and come back a few days later?
Yes. For a short midweek trip we price the outbound and return separately as well as together, and pick whichever combination works best for your times.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Your route, dates, cabin and number of travellers. If you have already been quoted a fare, send it too and we will quote against it.
Groups, First Class and how quotes work
Can you book Business Class for a group of four or more?
Yes. We check that every traveller has a seat in the same fare on the same flight. When a flight cannot seat the whole group together, we tell you and suggest the nearest alternative.
Which airlines still sell First Class from Europe to New York?
SWISS (SWISS First from Zurich), British Airways (BA First from London), Singapore Airlines (from Frankfurt to JFK), Air France (La Première from Paris), and Lufthansa on some flights from Frankfurt and Munich, depending on the aircraft. First cabins are small, so groups need checking flight by flight.
How do quotes work, and do you charge a fee?
Send us your trip by the quote form, phone or WhatsApp. A consultant replies personally with the options we would choose and the total price for each. Any concierge service fee is shown in your quote before you book, so there are no surprises. We are an independent travel concierge service, not an airline, and we confirm every detail when we book.
