Business Class Flights from the US

Each guide in this section looks at a single route in detail: which airlines fly it, how their business class seats differ, what the lounges are like at each end, how long the flight takes and when fares tend to be lowest. The aim is to give you enough information to compare real options rather than choose by brand alone.

Because premium cabins differ so much between aircraft types, the guides also explain how to check which seat you will actually get on a given flight. Two flights on the same route can have very different cabins, so a few minutes of checking can matter more than a small difference in fare.

Business class fares behave differently from economy fares. They are less sensitive to last-minute demand on leisure routes and more sensitive to corporate travel patterns, so the best deals often appear in the shoulder seasons and on midweek departures. Transferable credit card points, airline miles and occasional sale fares all play a part, and the cheapest option is not always the one you expect.

Our guides to business class versus premium economy and first class versus business class explain what the extra money actually buys, and the best credit cards for flight rewards shows how points can reduce the cost.

If you would like a specialist to compare cabins, airlines and dates for a route, request a callback. We search daily, and we often find combinations, including one-way and open-jaw options, that a standard search page does not show.

You can also check live fares yourself below. Whichever route you choose, compare the full price including taxes and fees, and check the aircraft type before you book.
