First Class Flyer Launches FlightBliss.com: A Free 'Upgrade Strategies' Website that Encourages Everyone to Upgrade Their Airline Experiences

eTN

Destination guides, simple tips, and insider knowledge help users get the most value from their frequent flyer miles, enjoy more comfortable seats, and even fly First Class and Business Class for less than the published rates and sometimes for the price of coach

MONTEREY, Calif. - Any commercial airline passenger can now learn the many different ways to navigate the complex world of seat upgrades to fly First Class or Business Class through FlightBliss.com, which launched today as the only free web-based travel information service specializing entirely in airline upgrade strategies.


FlightBliss.com is dedicated to teaching everyone from seasoned business travelers to novice leisure vacationers how to upgrade their air travel experience - showing readers how to:


-- Get more value from their frequent flyer miles
-- Choose the most comfortable seats
-- Leverage airline upgrade promotions
-- Book first and business class fares for less than the published rates
and sometimes for the price of coach.



The site features strategies, tips, and guides that are crucial to executing airline upgrade experiences on the ground and in the air.


"At FlightBliss.com, we believe the journey is as important as the destination," says Matthew Bennett, the site's founder who is also known as "Mr. Upgrade," America's leading expert on Business and First Class air travel.


According to Bennett, the market appetite for premium airline seats has always been there, but the increasing competition of premium all-Business Class carriers and expanded opportunities through loyalty programs and partnerships, mean the formerly artificially high Business and First Class fares are now more affordable and attainable.


"Few travelers really know how to leverage the best value from their frequent flyer miles or how to take advantage of the many upgrade opportunities," Bennett says. "FlightBliss.com drives the new affordable premium travel trend by offering accessible, consumer-friendly content that enables anyone to upgrade to the front cabins."


FlightBliss.com, recently featured on MSNBC.com, CNTraveler.com, compares and contrasts travel products and current deals, reads fine print on loyalty programs, and uncovers loopholes in various airline offerings.


Since 1996, Bennett has published First Class Flyer, an in-depth monthly newsletter for subscribers interested in mastering the art of upgrading. FlightBliss.com is supported in part by the insider information featured at First Class Flyer, but its content and strategies are geared toward a broader base of travelers.


"There is no reason any traveler should suffer in coach on their next flight when they can, often for the same price, enjoy the premium benefits of improved service, comfortable seating, better meals and superior entertainment systems in First and Business Class," says Bennett. "The demand for premium flying has never been greater."
