How expensive is First Class????
 

I am getting married in a few months. We decided not to spend alot on our wedding because we want for most of the money to be spent on us, our honeymoon. We will be spending 9 days in Egypt and 7 in the amalfi coast. How much should I expect to pay if I get my tickets 1st class, business class??? Thanks in advance.

Lots of places to get airfares ... presuming you let them know where you'll be flying from. <BR> <BR>You may want to think about this, though. Unless you're flying to and from Mars, the total flying time involved is likely to be less than 15-20 hours. The amount of time you'll spend on the ground on your honeymoon runs to nearly 400 hours. Many experienced travelers without unlimited budgets would prefer to spend a few extra thousand dollars on hotels, meals and guided tours rather than few hours in the air. <BR> <BR>twenj

Your coach class tickets could cost around $1,000, while a business class or first class will be north of $5,000. It's not worth it.

I concur with the above. Use 1st and business if someone else is paying, or use airmiles or ASK for a better seat - honeymooners have a very good chance if you go the right way about it - ie don't demand, just make it clear that you're on your honeymoon. Spend the money on better hotels, better restaurants, better wine (& more of it!). Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone!!!! I will take your advice.

<BR> <BR>You might want to look into Business Class. Particularly the segment into and out of Cairo. Internationally, most Business Class is at least equal to Domestic First Class, sometimes nicer. <BR> <BR>Business class fare is usually about the same as full fare economy and is rarely discounted, but some of the major carriers have "two fers" from time to time. <BR> <BR>Hope this is helpful . . enjoy Cairo, one of my favorite places. <BR> <BR>Rich

I checked this out, too, as I wanted to splash out for a special anniversary. First class (and this was just to Europe) cost between $7,000 and $14,000 MORE than the coach ticket. I thought it might just be $1,000 more. I was really really wrong.
