The Ascent offers three of the best tools for finding affordable business-class seats.

Skyscanner

Cost: free

Skyscanner is consistently ranked among the best flight search platforms. Whether you use the Skyscanner mobile app or the Skyscanner website, you can easily find low-cost flights, even for business class. The travel guide website Frommer's reported that Skyscanner found the cheapest flight 13 times out of 28, and recommends that travelers always check the site first before booking elsewhere.

You can also set up price alerts in the app so you don't miss out on too much. Skyscanner also shows airfares in a lunar calendar, similar to Google Flights, making it easy to choose the best date at the lowest price.

Going

Cost: $199 per year for Elite membership

Don't skip this service just because you have to pay for it! Sure, free is good, especially when you're already trying to save money on airfare. But Going Elite's $199 subscription can quickly pay for itself after booking just one flight, and you can even try it for free for 14 days.

All you have to do is decide where you want to go, and Going will track 900 destinations around the world, find the best deals, and notify you when it finds them.

One example the company cites on its website is a deal it found for an Elite member who flew from Chicago to Paris for just $699, a 65% discount.

The Elite tier gives you many benefits, including special alerts for 10 destinations, international deals, false fares from US airports, and the ability to redeem points and miles on business class seats.

Dollar Flight Club

Cost: $168 per year for Premium Plus membership

Dollar Flight Club is another great option for travelers looking for amazing deals on business class and premium economy tickets. The company's Premium Plus membership will cost you $168 per year, but Dollar Flight Club promises that the average savings on a Premium Plus flight will be over $700.

The company lists several business class tickets that were previously significantly reduced in price, including a round-trip flight to Spain for only $1250, down from $3700.
