american airlines 777 business class seats review

American Airlines Next Generation Business Class provides passengers
with the opportunity to enjoy the lie-flat seats on every transpacific
flight. With last year’s installation of Flagship Suites in First Class on all Boeing 777s, this J Class cabin upgrade marks the completion of the refurbishment of all premium class cabins on international flights.
The new 777 business class, designed to give passengers more comfort, flexibility and privacy, features new, 180 degree lie-flat bed seats, a personal in-flight entertainment system with audio and video on demand, state-of-the-art lighting and ergonomically-designed overhead bins

The hard-shell exteriors of the new seat preserve each passenger's space. Power ports located in the seatback are convenient and easier to access than power ports traditionally located on the floor or under the seat. A hook on the seatback and an amenity kit that doubles as a shoe bag are perfect for keeping personal belongings close at hand. Forward-facing seats and duvets offer added privacy and warmth in-flight.

Dinner looks nice on flight from LAX to LHR. It was on an American Airlines 777.

eos airlines charter flights business class

This a what the seats ("suites") look like on Eos, the all-business-class airline that runs between NYC JFK and London Stansted. These convert into a number of different lounging positions, including a 6-foot, 6-inch lay-flat bed. There are only a maximum of 48 passengers on each flight.Even though the airline ceased passenger operations, the airline still operates charter flights.

Unfortunately, the secret is out about this airline and the planes are nearly full every time I fly

I've flown EOS many times since their inception and I have seen the attentiveness of service improve over the last year and a half. I've never really had a problem with their service, I usually prefer if the flight staff leaves me alone throughout the flight. As long as they give me meal and refill my drink, I'm happy. After flying EOS for over a year, I took one flight on Virgin Upper Class a week ago and forgot how nice it was to just be on the plane with 47 other people, and to have all that personal space while in the air.

Q-up Y-up and Z airline fares first class

airlines typically offer a few deep-discount first-class seats on U.S. flights, while making sure to save some upgrades for pax in the top tier of a frequent-flier program. The bargain fares are most appealing on routes heavily used by business travelers, since competition to upgrade from economy class to business class is fiercest on those flights. The number of bargain first-class seats varies by plane type since there are different number of seats in first class cabin in boeing 737 airbus a320 embraer e170 e190 aircraft, seat configuration and competition with other airlines.

a particular type of coach fare called "Q-up." Other airlines use codes such as "Y-up" and "Z up." They represent little-known but surprisingly big bargains on thousands of first-class seats a day throughout the U.S. And often they can be much cheaper than last-minute coach seats. It takes some work to find the Q-up, Y-up and Z fares. Online travel Web sites such as FareCompare, Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz let users search by specific fare type. While known as Q-up or Y-up fares, the codes airlines use to identify them sometimes contain additional airline-specific characters, as in one recent Delta fare labeled QUPBV.

Airlines won't disclose exactly how many Q-up, Y-up or Z fares are available. The lure of upgrading from a cramped middle seat near the back of the plane to first class is one of the few perks frequent flyer still have

Why would airlines such as continental and united airlines encourage passengers to slip into first class -- and on the cheap? Most people sitting in first-class seats on domestic flights aren't paying first-class prices. Instead, many passengers are cashing in frequent-flier miles or buying upgrades, meaning those seats generate little extra revenue for the airlines. Q-up fares help carriers increase the number of paying passengers in first class.

It takes some work to find the Q-up, Y-up and Z fares. Online travel Web sites such as FareCompare, Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz let users search by specific fare type. While known as Q-up or Y-up fares, the codes airlines use to identify them sometimes contain additional airline-specific characters, as in one recent Delta fare labeled QUPBV.

At www.FareCompare.com, bargain hunters can click "Trip Search," then enter the desired route and "business/first class." (FareCompare also has a very useful airline-by-airline primer on how to find the fares). If a discounted first-class seat is available, QUP or "YUP" will pop up in the fare-class box shown by FareCompare. Otherwise, regular first-class codes such as "F class," "A class and "P class" will appear on the screen.

Using www.expedia.com, select "Additional Options" and then check the box to search for seats in business class or first class. Expedia's Q-up fares can be seen by clicking on "Rules and Restrictions."


Between New York JFK and Miami, American Airlines recently offered a one-way Y-up tickets of $319 -- 66 percent lower than the $999 price of a regular first-class seat. Such Y-up and Q-up fares are usually the cheapest sure way to get into first class. That is because in recent years many airlines have changed their policies to restrict fliers who buy the least-expensive coach seats from jumping into first class by using miles or buying $50 or $75 upgrades.

But, even when buyers of cheap seat aren't explicitly barred from making the jump, first class often fills up before they get a chance to buy an upgrade or use miles. Elite frequent fliers and buyers of higher coach fares are first in line to get upgrade .

Usually there is always inventory for first class Y-Up even on relatively full
flights on peak days and times (Mondays, Fridays, Sundays, Holidays) or at the
last minute when you have to run to the airport for an emergency.
2. Most Y-Ups are one-way fares, so if you are making a last minute exchange on your way from/to a location and have to change flights you purchased on a
restricted ticket ($100 change fee to the current market one-way price) and the travel agent is quoting you $500 in coach or telling you there are “no” seats, ask explicitly for Y-Up and check first class inventory for seats.
3. If there is an inexpensive one (normally a promotion or matching a small
competitor that has first class cabin that you’ll uncover on FareCompare) you can
book it and enjoy a nice ride upfront at the coach price.
4. Corporate Travelers have the most to gain from these fares. Many road warriors are required by their corporate travel policies to use Coach “Y” fares (refundable)
or cheaper for travel which can be as high as $1200-1400 round trip.

non stop flights from anchorage to Hawaii Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines offering daily year-round nonstop flights from Anchorage to Honolulu


Alaska Airlines today launched a "Hawaii Now" fare sale, featuring low fares to Hawaii's most popular vacation destinations from several West Coast cities, including Anchorage ANC, Alaska, Seattle, Portland, Ore., the Bay Area, Sacramento, Calif., and San Diego. One-way fares start as low as $149 for flights from West Coast destinations and $199 for flights from Alaska.

"Travel to Hawaii has never been more affordable," said Joe Sprague, Alaska Airlines' vice president of marketing. "The Hawaii Now sale offers travelers Alaska's award-winning service for one of the lowest fares available anywhere on the West Coast."
Tickets must be purchased by Aug. 15 and travel completed by Nov. 10, 2010.

Sample one-way fares:
Between One-way fare

Portland and Maui $149*
Portland and Honolulu $149*
Oakland, Calif., and Maui $159*
San Diego and Maui $159*
San Jose, Calif., and the Big Island of Hawaii $159*
Seattle and Honolulu HNL $169*
Anchorage, Alaska, and Honolulu HNL $199*

HNL ANC flights are operated with Boeing 737-800 aircraft, accommodating 16 passengers in first class and 141 in the coach class.

Many flights to Hawaii originate from San Francisco and Los Angeles, but Saretsky said Alaska Airlines isn't planning to add Hawaii service from those airports.

"Our home base is Seattle, and so it would be more natural for us to expand Hawaii service by serving additional islands nonstop from Seattle," he said.

international travel flights aggregator qixo

A new breed of search engine has cropped up in the past few years: the aggregator site.

QIXO is an airline search engine. Quixo has travel guides, articles, reviews, design and more.

www.quixo.com

Aggregators are Web sites that function like travel-themed versions of Google. Besides Kayak, the major players are SideStep, Yahoo's Farechase.com, Cheapflights.com, Mobissimo.com, Qixo.com and SuperSearch (a subsidiary of the discount online agency Travelzoo.com). Most aggregators have ties to a much broader network of links than more familiar online agencies, so they offer users a wider variety of options.
like business class cheap tickets economy class special offer, along with the providers' toll-free numbers or links to their Web sites. Bookings cannot be made on most aggregator sites; they act as search tools or referral services to airlines, hotels or online travel agencies. The customer can then select the best match and make reservations directly on the Internet or by phone with the provider.
When a user logs on and inserts specifications for flights, hotel rooms, rental cars or other travel services, the sites scan their databases for possible matches. While the popular Orbitz has flight data from more than 455 airlines, SideStep includes 585 carriers in its network. Kayak searches 550 airlines, including fares from other booking sites. The newest of the group, this Connecticut company was started up a few weeks ago by veterans of Orbitz and other major online travel agencies.


Several other agencies useful for travelers offer more limited services. One is Travelaxe.com, which searches only hotels. Another is BookingBuddy.com, which provides links to Orbitz and the other familiar online agencies.

For example, when we logged onto Farechase.com looking for cheap tickets from chicago to amsterdam, the site listed fares offered by United airlines, swiss air, US Airways, lufthansa and American. To find out the details or make a reservation, it was necessary to click on the airlines' Web sites and book through them. The other major aggregators function similarly.
