Benefit from extensive experience in business class without paying the price of a business ticket. This is what airBaltic is now offering with its Business Light fare.. The price represents an average reduction of 20% to 30% on a standard business fare. For example, a single ticket from Paris to Riga at the end of August costs less than 500 euros instead of nearly 600 euros in standard business class.
Business Light includes seat reservation at the time of purchase, dedicated airport counters, priority access at the airport and at boarding, and a meal on board.. Access to the exhibition is also guaranteed.
In addition to these advantages, Business Light passengers benefit froman allowance for additional baggage in the cabin and in the hold. It also includes a free sports equipment registration franchise.
So what are the restrictions on Business Light? First of all, changing the name on a ticket costs €100. Any change of flight date or time is only offered free of charge to Business Light passengers before departure, whereas holders of a Business Class ticket can do so at any time. On the frequent flyer programme, the bonus awarded is also lower than in traditional Business Class.
According to Martin Gauss, Managing Director of airBaltic, " As an innovative airline, we are always striving to revise our products to meet the changing needs of our customers. This new type of ticket offers passengers all the services traditionally associated with business class and will strengthen our competitiveness in the European aviation market. We believe it will also be popular with leisure travellers.. "
