Discounted business class

Does anyone know of a reliable, reasonable place to buy business class tickets from US to India? Any suggestions about online places that sell the restricted fares?

Thank you

I like to use www.kayak.com to search for flights, then book directly with the airline.

If you're looking for some magic website with cut rate business class fares then I think you're on a wild goose chase.

I live near a city that has a lot of ethnic enclaves. While I have not used them, I've been told that a lot of the enclaves have a travel agent that specializes in travel to the old country, with some very good prices. Not having used them, I don't know if they handle first class tickets, but if you can find one near you, it might be worth your while to contact them. I think they give personal service and are probably not on-line.

We used https://www.optiontown.com this past spring. We got upgrades on SAS to Copenhagen. It isn't a guarantee but if you do get the upgrades, they are really well priced. Air Indian is one of the airlines optiontown works with; the way it works - you book your flight in economy. Then you go to their website, join [a nominal fee] and then pay for upgrade. IF you get the upgrade, they notify you [usually pretty close to departure time] and you are set. If you don't get upgrade, they refund the money to you. You can do this for both legs of your flight. They may have upgrade to both business and/or economy extra if that is available.

We paid for business upgrade but also indicated that if we couldn't get business, we would do EE. If we had only been able to get EE, they would have refunded the difference. If you choose to try for both classes, you pay the higher amount.

If you have any questions, ask away.
