Flying business but sacrificing some of the perks can be a great money saver.What if you could fly at the pointy end aboard some of the world’s premier airlines at a cheaper price?

For many flyers, the attraction of travelling in business class is all down to the seat. If they can save that kind of cash, they’re happy to trade the lounge access, an extra 32 kilograms of checked baggage and the full loyalty points that come with a standard or flexible business class ticket. For a return ticket from Melbourne to Paris in April 2025, a Business Lite Fare starts from $9640, while the Business Standard fare is $470 more. Unless there is a chance that you might need to change or cancel your ticket, the Business Light fare is good enough for most of us.Checked baggage allowance and carry-ons for Emirates Special business class fares are the same as the Business Saver, Flex and Flex Plus fares, but the points accrual is lower.
