The best airlines, sleeper seats, reduced restrictions, low fares.... What more could an international premium class traveler ask for?           Passport Premiere members benefit from a greater selection of airlines, more direct schedules and greater savings than the member would receive as a non member.

Once a member, Passport Premiere members receive unlimited access to the Passport Premiere database of partner airlines. Several of our partner airlines provide specialized pricing exclusively for Passport Premiere members. Like most things in life, Passport Premiere may not be for everyone. If your take just one trip a year between the U.S. and Europe and plan your purchase several months in advance, you may not benefit from significant savings. However, if your international travel takes you to Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia and you require flexibility in your plans Passport Premiere can save its members thousands. For travel between the U.S. and Europe, members that book their itineraries less than 30 days from the travel date tend to save the most.   Passport Premiere members are issued a unique user ID and password providing access to the private fare database filled with exclusive fares and offers only available for members. Passport Premiere members also access our specialty fare desk which can often obtain waivers for the lowest published business class fares even if your dates of travel don't meet all of the booking requirements. Passport Premiere's goal is to provide maximum savings for its members without compromising any of the amenities that premium class traveler has come to expect. Passport Premiere is not for everyone.

These prices provide as much as 50% in additional savings depending on the route and when you purchase in relation to your travel date.   There are also select business class promotional fares that are reserved for our Passport Premiere members with leading carriers including Emirates, Japan Airlines, Qatar Airways and Qantas. These special fares may contain restrictions, including an advance purchase requirement of 7 -14 days for even greater savings.

Nearly all fares are eligible for frequent flyer mileage, and Passport Premiere members do not compromise any of the services or amenities that they have come to expect access to greater savings.   The "Premiere" - Published Fare Cross   The 'Premiere'- Published Fare Cross illustrates that for travel between the U.S. and Europe or Australia, the closer to the date of departure a member confirms their trip the greater the savings.
