Four months ago I wrote that it’s the golden age of air travel with cheap fares all over the world. Most of those fares have been in economy, with sub-$400 roundtrips to Europe and Asia with amazing flash sales.
I certainly prefer travel in business class, and readers have been asking for those deals, recently I’ve highlighted West Coast to several European cities from $2000 roundtrip, business class to several Asian destinations for $1954, West Coast to Africa from $2146 roundtrip, United business to Asia from $1700 roundtrip, Business class to Europe $409 one-way and Singapore Airlines Business Class to Europe or Asia for Less Than $2000 roundtrip. This last was my favorite deal of all.
Airlines are more aggressively discounting business class than before, not just economy, even if most of the eye-popping sales are in coach (and even if $1450 is of course still a lot of money). When I can buy paid business class for not substantially more than I ‘expect’ to ‘usually’ pay for economy that’s a very good deal.

Via No Mas Coach, Aeromexico has a sale on business class between New York JFK and Sao Paulo, Brazil from $1450 roundtrip.
Availability of these cheap Aeromexico fares is excellent:
Here’s a sample itinerary:
Fly Aeromexico flights AM408 and AM409 between New York JFK and Mexico City for their Boeing 787 with fully flat bed seating (albeit with longer connections).
Key details:
- Travel is permitted August 1 through December 14 in each direction.
- Saturday night stay required
- Non-refundable with $150 change fee
Aeromexico I fares earn 150% redeemable and elite qualifying miles with Delta.
Those fares have been there for a while. It works other way around as well and within other US cities.
I have booked GRU-JFK-GRU as well as an open jaw ticket GRU-JFK/SFO-GRU. I have friends who booked LAX, MIA and MCO. Unfortunately inventory has been reduced.
Not the best Business Class in the market, but extremely good cost return.
