Business class discounted brokers. Fly with class.com
Has anyone ever used this company? I am getting a good rate and can't find any fault about them but just want to know if anyone has had business with them. Thanks!

Be careful; some of these outfits are in the business of buying frequent flyer miles from people and using them for "discount" business-class flights sold to customers. If the airlines get wind of this (and they are getting very good at it) not only is the ticket canceled, but the seller's FF account is closed and the miles forfeited.
Getting "70% off" published business class fares isn't hard. You can buy an AA "I" fare (discount business) for JFK-LHR round trip in late May for $3833 plus taxes; a "J" fare, also business class with no restrictions, same seat, same plane, same days is $14,812. There, I've saved you 74%.
Ask them for the fare class and rules, and if you'll earn FF miles for the ticket. If they say you won't, watch out.

You can save several hundred bucks per ticket or more if you could leave a day or two earlier, or around $1500 per ticket (all in) flying into Seoul and then buying a separate ticket from ICN back to Tokyo. It would take more time, obviously.

ORD-ICN-ORD - Look at United leaving on the 4th (weekdays are $500 cheaper) and returning on the 18th (same story).
ICN-TYO-ICN - Look at JAL, Korean, Asiana; don't forget the international date line, and give yourselves plenty of leeway on connections if on two separate tickets.
You can do this all on Expedia or Orbitz.

Actually I checked Gardyloo's suggested dates and I think we can go early, see some of Tokyo which we planned to do post cruise but do it early and save on the airfare by flying on a date thats less expensive and we can use priceline or expecia and still get the miles as well.
Thaks for the help! Larry.
BTW Gardyloo I wonder how many people know what your user id means.

jacketwatch - if you use Priceline you will not get FF miles. Unless there is a big savings, you're just as well off booking directly with the airline.

Not necessarily. PL is now also a vanilla online travel agency like Expedia or Orbitz, as well as a place where you can bid on hotel rooms etc. You ought to be able to get FF miles for tickets purchased in the "conventional" manner, although I would always book directly with the airline if possible.
The "name your own price" bidding feature for airlines on Priceline has never included premium cabin travel.
