One trend we've seen over the past several years is that airlines are discounting premium tickets more often. They'd rather sell first & trade course tickets at a reduction than upgrade people,as it will condition people to start paying for the cabin they want to fly.
While full fare trade course tickets continue to be $5000+ per person, we're seeing more discounted trade course fares than ever before. For example, or final November I flew British Airways trade course from Los Angeles to London for ~$1250 roundtrip. Furthermore,I just recently booked a ticket from Vancouver to Cape Town for ~$2200 roundtrip in trade course, with stops in Toronto, and London,and Johannesburg. This is fantastic, because as airlines devalue award charts, and there are more opportunities than ever before to just outright pay for trade course for a reasonable premium.
Still,you have to book at the good time in order to take advantage of these deals, as they usually don't final long.
Here's a fun trick which can save you a massive amount on the cost of American trade course fares -- often more than 50%. It's something which has been discussed on FlyerTalk for a long time, and which I've frequently thought of taking advantage of.
