Cheapest way to book Business/Upper Class

Dream Bigger2 · 21 Mar 25, 08:09 PM

Can anyone advise cheapest way to book Business/Upper Class to MCO please.
Does BA tend to be cheaper than Virgin? Should I book when flights get released or hold out for a bit?
Is booking Premium an option and then upgrading? Although I don�t want to risk not flying Business/Upper. Thanks

Fly from a Euro hub - Dublin / Madrid / Copenhagen / Budapest etc.

Book during a seat sale.

Put up an alert on Google flights for the dates you want.

Book ex-DUB via London (fine if you are based outside the South East and you have to connect anyway). If you book with BA, make it a holiday by getting a hotel the night before - we are going next week and paid �1,070 each return in business and returning to NCL.

Typically you will have to return to DUB (or some other non-UK airport) but if you get creative with the routing, you can get a cheap flight.

Not as good these days for us provincial types as neither BA or Aer Lingus offer a DUB-LGW route at the moment.

However you could probably find decent fares on doing a multi-city booking on something like DUB-LHR, LGW-MCO(or TPA) returning MCO (or TPA)-LGW then booking LHR-DUB (and if you unfortunately got stuck in traffic on the LGW-LHR connection, you would not make the final flight to DUB and would finish in London. If you live in the North/Scotland, nesting a LHR-NCL/MAN/EDI etc just before the LHR-DUB leg will get you back home for just a bit more.

Google flights is your friend here but if you are doing an ex-DUB, remember you MUST take the first leg of the trip (and not try to get on in London) as the airline will cancel the fill trip if you are a no-show on the first leg.

Book early. Never let me down in donkeys years. Never found a Sale price cheaper than what I have already booked.

Same. With BA or AA, I book on release or close to..and with similar results.

Same with Aer Lingus. My flight is currently almost twice what I paid on release day.

Ok great - thanks all. Our closest airport would be LHR or LGW so will play around and see what I can find
