Which routes are most often chosen by business class passengers?
Aviasales specialists analyzed the booking data of users who prefer to fly with increased comfort and found that in 2021 they are less likely to choose a business tariff compared to 2019.
The average check for such tickets in the summer of 2021 is 102 thousand rubles.
Among the most popular destinations there are several foreign, and in the top ten popular routes of economy class passengers are the cities of Russia.
In 2021, the most popular destinations for travelers willing to pay for increased comfort were Moscow (19% of the total number of reservations at this rate), St. Petersburg (8%), Sochi and Simferopol 7%), Kaliningrad (2%). The top ten also included Antalya, Yerevan, Tashkent, Baku and Krasnoyarsk.
Travelers most often prefer to fly business class to Equado, Sudan, Peru and Colombia, to Portugal. For comparison: bookings of the fare "business" on average in all directions are 0.06 percent.
The reason for such interest in the premium segment on long routes is that the difference in the cost of tickets with the economy is not very noticeable. You can fly to the Dominican Republic comfortably for 72 thousand rubles, and "simply" - for 67 thousand.
