BusinessClass.com searches hundreds of travel sites to help you find the best premium travel offers for both flights and accommodation.

A message from our Founder & CEO

"I had been working in travel tech for over 20 years, and still found it hard to find the best travel offers. I was also finding it difficult to understand the differences between all the airline and hotel suggestions that were being provided by the plethora of search engines. It was truly a jungle out there. I concluded that no travel search engine catered for the more discerning traveller looking for comfort and class at a great price.

In 2015, I came up with the concept of BusinessClass.com

Using proprietary algorithms, we have meticulously designed and built a search engine that not only collates the most competitive flight and hotel prices but is also extremely user-friendly.

Our contribution to a greener tomorrow and sustainability in travel is of utmost importance to me. To this end, we highlight the green initiatives that are being implemented by all the airlines and hotels & resorts we review.

There is much more to BusinessClass.com than just amazing offers!"

Rating

Rating on BusinessClass.com is there to help you understand what to expect from a hotel stay, a flight or another travel related product or experience. User ratings, Expert ratings – BusinessClass tested – as well as proprietary algorithms – BusinessClass Quality – are there to assist you in assessing quality.

Flights

BusinessClass Quality

At BusinessClass.com we strive very hard to offer a truthful understanding of the quality of a given flight. It is hard for a human to understand and assess the quality of millions of flight combinations and all of their attributions. In comes BusinessClass Quality, an algorithm-based score that runs from 0 to 10. This score is calculated based on a number of criteria. Our unique technology and complex algorithms aims at simplifying and shortening the lengthy and difficult process of identifying ideal airline tickets. This is all the more important, as buying a ticket in Premium Economy, Business Class or First Class represents an investment in your comfort. The BusinessClass Quality algorithms takes into account a vast array of critical evaluation factors and combines them into a single quality score, like:

How good is the airline and cabin configuration.
How good is the seat. Can it convert to a fully horizontal bed.
How good is the aircraft, noise and humidity levels, affecting jet lag.
Is there Wi-fi and other amenities.

BusinessClass tested

Editors at BusinessClass.com or approved expert writers have flown all tested flights, and made a thorough review of the quality of the flight, evaluating many aspects of the experience. One general rating is awarded on the overall flight. The report will suggest who the experience is suited for and will highlight three things we really enjoyed about the flight. We will only publish reviews on flights we can safely recommend and on flights awarded a rating of 8, 9 or 10 out of 10. Here is an overview on how we rate flights:

8/10: A good flight you will enjoy and do again
9/10: A great flight you will recommend to friends
10/10: A must-do experience on any travel lovers bucket-list

The report will suggest who the property is suited for and will highlight three thing we really enjoyed about the stay.
