Business class doesn't have to cost a fortune. Frequent flyer miles and credit card points are the primary tools savvy travellers use to access premium cabins. Cards like the Amex Platinum or Chase Sapphire can accumulate points fast on everyday spending.
Bidding for upgrades has become mainstream — airlines like British Airways, Lufthansa, and Emirates allow you to bid on upgrades before departure. Set a reasonable bid (typically 30–50% of the fare difference) and you'll often succeed on less popular routes.
Error fares are rare but spectacular — sites like SecretFlying.com and HolidayPirates track them. Act fast, as they're corrected within hours.
