Has anyone had any experience with http://www.firstbusinessflights.com/ ?

Just another outlet using points to buy flights then sell them as a cheap ticket and making 300+% margin, but leaving the traveler with the risks when things go wrong, after all points redemption are not given the same treatment by airlines as paid fares when it comes to reschedules in a lot of cases. Plenty of info on the forum about how you can always do it cheaper yourself.

Welcome to the forum

Have you goggled the name? Bad experience’s by people tend to get hits

While I have no direct knowledge of this business and how they operate, their are business’s that buy freq flyer miles from others or the airlines and sell you a business/first class ticket. From there web site" "In cases where discounted first class or business travel flights are not eligible for mileage, we will notify you in advance."

Buyer beware. If its too good to be true its probably not true

Yes , first time user but its a genuine question as they offered me a good price on business class to Paris but I was wary as I dont know any thing about this company and there are no reviews available.

Was it more than $1700 from the east coast by chance?

 

[allvin]

[allvin]

The above is what anybody can do within a matter of minutes, or if you want to do some home work, sub $3000 is possible for first class:

Fly First Class to Europe for under $3,000

Its worth subscribing to the gazette and keeping an eye on the stories

Am I right that you need some enrich points before you can do this? Or can you buy them seperately.

You only need 1000 which is the minimum points plus pay, which you get as a bonus when you join.

As mentioned the signon bonus to join Enrich or transfer from Amex membership rewards.
