Business Class Domestic Travel

There are many people who are not interested in paying the high prices for First Class airfare on a short flight within the country. Paying slightly more than an economy to get a little more legroom and personal space, however, is definitely worth it. And that is why so many people choose the benefits of Business Class domestic travel.

Now, before you get your hopes up about stretching out in Business Class on your next business trip to Cleveland, we should probably tell you that Business Class does not exist on every airline that flies domestically. Some of them only have First Class and economy, and some only offer “enhanced economy” as a highest class (oh, the horror). This is a real difference from what exists on international flights, where Business Class is often the highest class available!

Once you are in your domestic Business Class seat, what can you expect as perks? Well, forget about those images of linen tablecloths, seats that recline to a completely flat position and crystal champagne flutes that you may have seen on international flights. The benefits you will get include meals that are nicer than in coach, complimentary alcoholic beverages and lots more personal space. You will not have to fight with your neighbor over an arm rest, or live in fear of the person in front of you reclining into your lunch. Some Business Class cabins also have personal video screens so you can choose your own entertainment options.

The prices for Business Class on domestic flights will vary, certainly, but they can be much lower than you might expect - especially if you are thinking about the prices of First Class tickets. And if you are flying at a time that is not particularly busy - and you happen to be a frequent flyer on that airline - you will want to try asking at the gate about an upgrade to Business Class from coach. Airlines tend to favor their more frequent customer when it comes to issuing free upgrades, or those who have paid full price for an economy seat.
