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.

PeopleMaria, NO

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.
