Airlines are breaking down their business class fares into ‘unbundled’ tickets, in a similar way in which customers have come to expect from economy over the years. These tickets typically cost a couple of hundred dollars less than the full fare, depending on the airline and the flight route.
Some love it and some hate it. But whatever your take, it looks to be a trend that’s here to stay, with the technique spreading across the industry faster than you can say “hold my Dom Pérignon.”
Qatar Airways first did it as part of a de-bundling in November 2020 (which has been even further debundled recently) so now you can get all kinds of business class fares.
