Finally, a good deal on Trans Pacific Business Class
As many of you already know, one of my major goals this year has been to snag a fantastic deal on a business class airfare for a Pacific crossing. Thanks to some of my clients, I've finally hit the jackpot. However, let me be clear, these fares are for epic-level trips.
I don't want to hit you with the airfare cost right away, as it might still seem a bit steep at first glance. So, I'd like to break it down for you into two sets of prices. The first set comprises the lowest Star Alliance business class fares I could find, with airlines like United, Air New Zealand, ANA, Singapore Airlines, and more. These fares are available from San Francisco until roughly next June, and they come with ideal schedules, including nonstop options:
Tahiti (Papeete) - $4,722 (nonstop)
New Zealand (Auckland) - $7,522 (nonstop)
Singapore - $4,618 (nonstop)
Vietnam (Saigon) - $4,906 (one stop)
Japan (Tokyo) - $6,364 (nonstop)
Hawaii (Honolulu) - $1,096 (nonstop)
Now, brace yourself for the second set of prices. These are for dates when business class seats are in high demand, departing within 28 days, or during peak pricing periods like holidays. In some cases, they tick all these boxes:
Tahiti (Papeete) - $13,931 (nonstop)
New Zealand (Auckland) - $14,946 (nonstop)
Singapore - $11,456 (nonstop)
Vietnam (Saigon) - $10,831 (one stop)
Japan (Tokyo) - $12,860 (nonstop)
Hawaii (Honolulu) - $2,663 (nonstop)
To put this in perspective, the first set totals roughly $29,000 in airfare, while the second set climbs closer to a jaw-dropping $67,000!
But here's the kicker: I've just priced the Star Alliance Circle Pacific Airfare (starting in about 28 days) covering all these incredible destinations from and to San Francisco for just $10,990. Now, here's the pièce de résistance: all those top fares are nonrefundable, and believe it or not, some of the bottom ones are as well! In contrast, the cancellation fee for the Circle Pacific fare is a mere $150.
However, there are some catches you should be aware of. You must be away for at least a week but no longer than six. This deal mainly works from Star Alliance hub cities and requires you to travel in one direction, with no backtracking allowed. You must make at least three stops and stay at each stop for a minimum of 24 hours, but you can't have more than 15 stops. This offer is only valid for this year from LAX, SFO, SEA, and HNL.
This price is one of the few Pacific-crossing fares that hasn't been drastically inflated since the pandemic. I won't sugarcoat it; ticketing this fare can be a real hassle (I happen to be one of the few people I know who can do it), so I do charge more for it. However, for the right person in the right circumstances, it's an astonishingly good deal.
One FYI, if you choose to try to get that without my help, that’s fine, but just remember I warned you on that one. haha!
