| Jun 15, 2018 at 7:46 | comment | added | Daan van Hoek | i don't think it's a duplicate, because he is asking for flight options in premium economy when possible, economy when not. I am specifically asking for the possibility to define business for the longer leg, and eco for the shorter, whilst not having to search every stopover destination by hand | |

| Jun 14, 2018 at 12:29 | comment | added | Aganju | It is nearly always more expensive to switch class than to fly business all the way. Our booking system runs every time into deadlocks because I am not allowed to fly business for the shorter segments, and also not allowed to take a more expensive (mixed-class) flight, which leads to contradictions, so it goes in endless circles. | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 11:42 | comment | added | Daan van Hoek | That's true in a lot of cases, SWISS does have good prices. And on other occasions, they charge you way more than the competition. I've actually flown Businessclass to Japan with Qatar Airways for less than 1600 CHF (where i was very lucky to catch that deal). My point is, that I'm mostly looking for good deals, and then try to book a route which lets me profit from that deal. But I want to do that without searching for all the possible routes by hand. | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 11:36 | comment | added | crayarikar | However, I feel that depending on the route, that might end up being more expensive than flying in business for the whole route. Also, assuming that your country is Switzerland, SWISS does have some very competitive business class prices for both longhaul and shorthaul flights out of GVA and ZRH. | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 11:32 | comment | added | Daan van Hoek | I would not mind to make separate bookings with enough layover. I have actually never had all in one booking untill now. I mostly fly Swiss out of my horrible expensive country and then enjoy the second leg on business with another carrier. | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 11:28 | comment | added | crayarikar | I actually don't think tickets are sold that way, unless there is a lack of availability in the higher class. For instance, I flew FRA-DEL-BOM with the first leg in business and the next one in economy. Another option could be to book all your flights in economy and using the airline's upgrade option to change a specific leg to business class. | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 11:25 | comment | added | Daan van Hoek | Thanks, that is a nice feature. I tried it out just now. Unfortunately you still have to search for every possible stopover airport. I'm looking for a search engine, where you could search like this: i want the longer leg in business and the shorter in economy | |
| Jun 14, 2018 at 11:21 | comment | added | crayarikar | I remember Kayak giving you the option of selecting the class of travel individually for each flight leg. Though the search results that came from it still showed once class for all. | |
