Resources on Airline Tickets

Airline Tickets

Airlines traditionally have three travel classes:

first class, the highest quality of accommodation available

Business class, high quality, traditionally purchased by business travellers

Economy class (also known as coach or tourist class), basic accommodation, commonly purchased by leisure travellers

However, with premium travelers choosing private planes and businesses becoming more fare-sensitive, the distinctions between classes have become blurred.Three-cabin configuration is found only on premium transcontinental or international flights. For shorter distances, most airlines fly a two-cabin plane, featuring only business and economy cabins. The short-haul business class cabin is usually designated as 'first class' in North America.
