Go Fly First Just Saved Me Thousands
Go Fly First just saved me several thousand dollars. I fly First or Business exclusively and know what fares to expect regardless of the booking portal. So I never paid much attention to emails from Go Fly First. But this week I found myself needing to get quickly to a Eurasian city from my Eastern US home city. I needed specific dates and a specific airline because it was the only one offering non-stop service. The round trip Business Class airfare on the airline’s website for the flights I needed was almost $10,000. Non-airline booking portals were within a few dollars of that. I started to book it but suddenly remembered Go Fly First. Zoey responded to my email within 15 minutes with a firm quote of less than $5,000. I was stunned and we went back and forth as I questioned the legitimacy of the quote. Every time I had a question or suspiciously requested a clarification, Zoey immediately, professionally and politely answered via email or phone call within a few minutes, including replying to a query I fired off at 9PM Eastern time. Booking process, pricing, ticket restrictions, everything was transparent. The electronic ticket along with a confirmation number as well as seat assignments arrived within an hour after I supplied my credit card info. I quickly logged on to the airline website and there I was, name, tickets, seats, everything confirmed and ready to go! Full disclosure: Mine was not your typical JFK, EWR, IAD jaunt to LHR, CDG, AMS with planes flying back and forth like swarms of mosquitos. So I suspect my savings would be more modest on these common routes. And my tickets are highly restricted. No changes, no whining. Just get on the plane and go. But with thousands of free money in my pocket, who cares? Zoey is my new BFF. I will be calling her again soon.
