Hi Everyone,

First time poster, long time lurker - sorry, I'm not even sure if this thread is in the right sub forum. I have to go to Europe this summer for a cousin's (who is really more like a sister) wedding. I live in Canada.

I've only flown twice before. The first time, I was in economy and I had a massive panic attack from claustrophobia (I am really claustrophobic).

The second time, my father was nice enough to buy me a business/first class ticket, and I found that it, combined with some medication, was tolerable.

I've searched the forums, but I haven't come across many threads on getting business class tickets cheaply. Does anyone have any suggestions? My eyes bawked when I saw first class to Europe can be as much as $3000 ONE WAY.

I really appreciate it. Also, I salute all you savers out there! Because of you, I'm a proud Platinum Elite member at Marriott (all through car trips and train travel!).

Thanks!
