Bizclassdeals?
 
Does anyone know about the website bizclassdeals.com? It says that it gives discount business deals and these are the lowest tickets I have seen.
Any experience/help?

Well I went to their website. I note that from the US that the fares on the main page are from the closest airport (which for Europe would be the eastcoast of the US of course) and are for one way..so one would need to double for R/T plus additional for taxes and fees.

I put in a flight and although I didn't check it against going through the airline website I use in my situation I don't think it would have been a big savings. I note there is no mention of frequent flyer miles, I wonder about that.

If interested I would sure check them out which you are obviously doing here. Let us know what you find out. Best wishes.

Don't know anything about bizclassdeals, but I recently scored r/t on MaxJet JFK - Stansted on Skyauction for $911 all in.

Thanks everyone for replies. I purchased United business class tickets for my trip to China (Beijing, Hong Kong) from Los Angeles for $2993 all inclusive from Bizclassdeals. I checked other discount, wholesale places and the same or similar flights are in $4K price range. United offers the same flight for $6500. Good savings, I guess...
And I will earn miles with my United Mileage.
P.S. To: LoveItaly. We are going to Italy in May. Do you have an idea about car rental from Venice Marco Polo for 1 week besides Major car rental companies? Any good beach hotel in Milano Marittima?

I know this is after the fact but I notice that the fares quoted do NOT include taxes and fees.

i recently purchased a business class ticket R/T from IAD to LHR and the fare quoted on the website was cheaper..until you added the taxes and fees and then it wasn't much cheaper..but cheaper is cheaper!

Hi exred, my late husband and I always rented our cars in Milan as we always flew into Malpensa airport. So I am not familar with car rentals at the Marco Polo airport. I now fly into Venice instead of Malpensa but I have not rented an auto as I have so many friends in the region of Veneto.
And although I have spent a lot of time in Milan I have never been to Milano Marritima. I am sorry I can't be more help. Most Fodorites suggest that travellers to Italy rent through Auto Europe (do verify that name).

If you will post your questions on the Europe Board you will no doubt receive a lot of good advice exred. And have a wonderful trip!
