Negotiated, bulk and consolidator fares can put a lie-flat seat within reach. Here’s how it works.

We specialize in negotiated airfares, bulk fares and consolidator rates, which can be significantly lower than the standard published fares. These special rates are generally not available to the public and are typically reserved for travel agencies with significant booking power. By drawing on our network and industry connections, we pass these savings directly to our clients.
If you want to fly in business or first class, talk to Airfare Specialists. Depending on the destination and season, clients can save anywhere from 5% to 50% or more on premium airfares — so you enjoy a comfortable journey without paying the full price.
Premium Cabins at a Glance
| Cabin | What you typically get on long-haul flights |
|---|---|
| Premium economy | Wider seat, more legroom and recline, upgraded meals, priority boarding on many airlines. |
| Business class | Lie-flat seat on most long-haul routes, lounge access, priority check-in, security (where offered) and boarding, higher baggage allowance, restaurant-style dining. |
| First class | Offered by fewer airlines: more space and privacy, often an enclosed suite, premium lounges and top-tier service. |
Cabin products vary by airline, aircraft and route — your specialist will confirm what’s on your flight.
Ways to Fly Premium for Less
Ask for unpublished fares
Negotiated and consolidator fares are not shown on airline sites — a specialist can check them for your dates.
Be flexible
Shifting travel days, airports or connection points can change premium fares a great deal.
Consider mixed cabins
Business class on the long overnight leg and economy on a short connection can cut the price.
Book at the right time
Premium fares move with demand and season — your specialist can tell you when a fare is a good one.

What is the difference between business and first class?
On long-haul international flights, business class usually offers a lie-flat seat, priority check-in and boarding, lounge access and upgraded dining. First class, offered by fewer airlines and on fewer routes, adds more space and privacy — often a suite — and a higher level of service.
What is premium economy?
A cabin between economy and business, with a wider seat, more legroom and better meals. It can be a good value on long flights when business class is out of budget.
Are consolidator fares refundable?
Fare rules vary. Some discounted fares carry change or cancellation restrictions; your specialist will explain the rules of each fare before you book.
