Does anyone have a recommendation for how, where or when to get the best price on business class airline tickets to Europe (I live in Atlanta)? There is such a plethora of travel websites these days that I feel like I'm chasing my tail!

Eagerly await your answers. That has been a my quest for a long time but rarely see anything less than 3500. Beginning to think that the best route may be an upgradable economy ticket and then use ff to upgrade. I have seen a lot of web sites but most are blowing smoke.

Pamela, get some of the "Steerage" Business Class seats: "Economy Comfort". Delta, United, etc offer these now of some of their "over-the-pond" flights. We got some on our trip back from Spain this June. For an additional $80 our seats had up to 5" more leg room than standard Coach and all the drinks you wanted.

Economy plus does not always get free drinks. Mostly it just gets five inches. And it is still not the same or even close to business class.

We used to do as Frank suggessted- buy full price coach and use FF miles to upgrade. You then earn miles at the business class rate (or you used to) so you come out almost even. We did it on BA and USAir.
