Trying to find cheap business class flights is very simple and with a little know how, you can save big money. Most of the airlines rather sell out their plane than have an empty one. If the plane is not sold out, you will have no problem getting a first class seat or business seat for the same price as coach. Let me explain.
The airline only releases a certain amount of seats in coach and business class. They want these airplanes as full as possible. When your checking in for your flight, make sure to mention to the ticket agent you would like to upgrade if possible. Tell them your limit is no more than $25.00. They enter this into the system. Once coach fills up and sold out, they know they can make room for one more coach passenger. So they will take your $25.00 and bump your to business class. Then they will reopen that one seat and coach and sell it to walk ups, or standby passengers.
Trust me this works, but not all the time. If first class/business class is full or sold out, there is no way of this method will work. Try to pick night flights, this will better your odds. There are so many ways to get upgraded and one site I learned some tricks was through the cheap business class flights blog.
Price jacking is another way of getting cheap airfare. This you can find or try on any airline. Small local airlines might be difficult.
