Business Class Clambers Back from the Abyss

Singapore Air's business class "seat" looks more like a sofa!

Remember last year when everyone thought that no one would fly in the front of the plane again…forever? Times they are a changin’! And for the better if you are a frequent international business traveler.

Check out what American Express found when looking at its first quarter data:

Historically there has been close to an even split of passengers flying businesses class versus economy for International travel.  However during the heart of the recession last year – particularly in the second quarter of 2009 – the percentage of tickets booked in business class hit its lowest rate at 36%.  As the trending now shows, percentage rates are on the rise, indicating travelers are moving back to the front of the plane.

>  Q1 2010 International Business Class – 41%

>  Q1 2009 International Business Class – 39%

>  Q1 2008 International Business Class – 51%
