Business Class Flights from the UK

Each guide in this section looks at a single route in detail: which airlines fly it, how their business class seats differ, what the lounges are like at each end, how long the flight takes and when fares tend to be lowest. The aim is to give you enough information to compare real options rather than choose by brand alone.

Because premium cabins differ so much between aircraft types, the guides also explain how to check which seat you will actually get on a given flight. Two flights on the same route can have very different cabins, so a few minutes of checking can matter more than a small difference in fare.

Business class fares from the UK include Air Passenger Duty, which is built into the price and rises with distance and cabin class. That makes comparing the total fare, rather than the base fare, essential. Departure airport matters too, since regional airports sometimes offer sharper prices on routes with direct competition between two airlines.

Our guides to business class versus premium economy and how airline status works explain what the extra money buys and how loyalty schemes can help, and the best credit cards for flight rewards covers points.

If you would like a specialist to compare cabins, airlines and dates for a route, request a callback. We search daily, and we often find combinations, including one-way and open-jaw options, that a standard search page does not show.

You can also check live fares yourself below. Whichever route you choose, compare the full price including taxes and fees, and check the aircraft type before you book.
