Does anyone know if you can get discounted biz fares? Would be happy to pay double or triple economy, but not 5 times the price!
Have tried all the local web sites (ie expedia.in, travelocity.in etc)
Many thanks in advance
Its not that Biz is 5x of economy. On the contrary, those are the regular Biz fares. Its just that economy has been severely discounted - to probably just around 30% of the full Y fare. If its any consolation, you could upgrade to Biz with miles if the airline permits (eg 9W does) - but may not be worth it.
