Nice webpage - very good description of the standard and amenities on the flights - I use BC to compare both prices and cabin quality and book my flights.
Have used bussinessclass.com for half a year already and I am very happy, it works out perfect and customer support is also very good. There are some other sites who uses the same name, but they are not as good as this one which I would say is the original and most trustworthy.
Businessclass.com always have the best hotel and flight deals. Airlines and hotels are reviewed to offer you the best experience.

Optimal booking window
For San Francisco (SFO) to Taipei (TPE), the sweet spot clusters around 60–90 days out at 81–83 versus 100 last-minute, a 17–19% savings; start tracking at 12 weeks and book once you see mid-80s or better.
Very early buys at 150 days average 96, only ~4% below last-minute and notably higher than the trough; set alerts early but wait for prices to dip into the low-80s before committing.
After 45 days, fares climb from 86 to 100 by day 1, a ~16% rise; aim to finalize plans by the six-week mark to avoid the close-in premium.
