SKYWITHCLASS

SKYWITHCLASS is a travel agency in Florida that sells business class and first class flight tickets. The site describes it as a luxury travel agency for personal and business trips. It works by phone, email and live chat rather than through a public booking engine.

The booking process has three steps. A client contacts the agency by phone, email or chat and describes the trip. A travel consultant then searches for fares on the chosen route. The client receives a private quote. The site says prices are shown in US dollars and include taxes, fees and surcharges.

The company says airlines give private fares only to travel agencies. Its technology searches hundreds of consolidators to find those rates. Airlines do not show these fares online. The agency says it can often beat online prices by 30 to 50 percent, and sometimes by more. It lists destinations such as Tokyo, Dubai, Sydney, London and Paris.

SKYWITHCLASS uses its own process called AeroSaver. The site says it works through direct talks with flight agents. This gives access to fares that are not published. It also allows quick handling of last-minute trips. The agency says it can issue a ticket up to two hours before departure.

The site lists several credentials. The agency is accredited by IATA, the international airline trade body. It is also accredited by ASTA, a travel trade group, and holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. It says IATA status gives it access to a worldwide network of airlines and partners.

Customers quoted on the site describe working with named agents. They praise help with complex family trips and multi-city routes booked with points. A support line is said to be open around the clock.

The website has a contact form where visitors can ask for a quote. It also links to its terms of service and privacy policy. The form notes that clients agree to text messages from the agency and can opt out at any time.
