One Way to Save Up to 60% on International Flights in Business Class

First class and business class fares aren't sacrosanct; when they go unsold, they're discounted by the airlines to fill the seat. And several scattered travel agencies are used as the conduits for such discounts.

A number of travelers, especially older ones, find that they simply can't face a long international flight, especially an overnight one, in economy class. And when they need to take such a long international flight, they pester everyone in reach for the names of outlets where they can obtain upgraded seats at a considerable discount.

I'm reminded of such needs by the constant, if subtle, appearance of a tiny little newspaper ad on behalf of a travel agency called Cook Travel Inc. It's usually sneaked into the bottom of a column of business statistics in the business pages of various newspapers specializing in finance. And it carries the simple headline: "Save 60% First/Business." You're supposed to know what that means.

Cook Travel, Inc. can be found at tel. 866/798-8704 or on the internet at www.cooktravel.net . Though their prices remain high, they are considerably less than what you normally would spend for business or first class seats.
