A few hidden December calendar dates with $2,500 to $2,700 Biz Class fares to Europe expand to many dates, from October to March up to 38% less than others

In the film, Miss Congeniality, Miss Rhode Island is asked to describe her perfect date. She answers, “That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th, because it’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.”

Here at FCF, we’re finding more perfect dates and now they’re expanding.

Previous Fare Beauties at First Glance

All it took was a quick perusal of the google.com/flights calendar for December and January, as shown in the screenshot below. On a few days each month, the Business Class fares looked beautifully green, with svelte savings on offer compared with prices just 24 hours earlier in some cases. Just look at the price difference on the New York-Rome route between December 28 and 30, for example, by simply traveling one to four days earlier or later, you could save up to $1,000 to $2,000.

New Fare Beauties at a Glance

Now all it takes is a quick perusal of the google.com/flights calendar over October through March and you can see those dates with fares in the $2,500 to $2,700 range have proliferated.

We’re seeing this on a bunch of routes to Europe across major airlines such as Air Canada, Air France, American, British Airways, Delta, Finnair, Iberia, KLM, Lufthansa, SWISS, and United Airlines.

And the winner is…oh, wait.

Pass the sash because those fares look like pageant winners, right? Evening gown: tick. Swimsuit: tick. But wait, now we come to the interview round, and that’s where it’s clear that not everything is as it seems. In fact, we think holiday fares will get even better.

Our analysts suggest that these fares will drop even further in another month or so. We’ve seen this fare drop year after year. The low fares are teasers designed to get you in at a time of the year when travelers are more likely to stay closer to home rather than jump across to Europe. Maybe it’s a trip to a beach, or the ski slopes, or simply holiday time with family.

While these are some of the lowest Business Class fares we’ve seen this year, we believe they are going to drop even further, at least around the holidays.

The Crowning Moment

FCF’s experienced judges suggest you book these fares now with the idea that you’re going to trade them in using the Iterative Upgrade Mindset approach when they drop even further. And if demand prevents a fare drop on your particular route and date for some reason, you’re still doing well with the fare you’ve booked.

So build your trip around the days in the months that are pricing for $1,000 or $2,000 less than normal.
