Let’s start with Vienna. We found round-trip business class fares from Miami to Vienna in June for under $2,800 on Condor. It’s a good price, but it involves two transfers each way.
We wanted to check availability and prices for flights with just one stopover, so we selected the “1 stop or less” button in the drop-down menu on Google Flights to see what happen.
There are business class seats available on June flights with only short layovers in France for $2,880. So if you want to reduce your travel time, it will only cost you about $140 more.
We also found a great deal from Austin to Barcelona. American Airlines has business class fares from AUS to BCN in July for under $2,800.
According to Google Flights, these prices are as low as you can find for a business class flight on this route.
TPG told you that Turkish Airlines is Launching a new direct flight service from DEN to Istanbul Airport (IST) on June 11. While looking for bargains during this sale, we found business class seats on Turkish Airlines in August from Denver to Barcelona , has a transit stop in Istanbul, with a round-trip ticket price of only 2,809 USD. Not only is it a great price, but you’ll also get to enjoy a 12-hour flight to Istanbul in one of the airline’s Airbus A350 business class suites.
If you live in the tri-state area and are thinking of the Canal City for your summer vacation, you’re in luck. There are plenty of seats available in business class in July and early August from Newark to Venice on American Airlines for just $2,786 round-trip.
