These Are the Most Affordable Airlines to Fly in Business Class

Hi there,

Flying business class is a luxury many of us dream about—especially while crammed into economy, hoping there’s overhead space for your carry-on and silently praying the seat next to you stays empty for a sliver of extra space. The perks of premium travel—lounge access, extra legroom, priority boarding—are undeniably tempting, but for most travelers, the price tag feels out of reach.

Fortunately, that doesn’t always have to be the case. By watching for Z-class fares (discounted business-class tickets) and knowing which airlines consistently offer competitive rates on premium seats, you can upgrade your experience without draining your savings.

If you're ready to travel in comfort, put these business class carriers at the top of your to-fly list.
