PROPOSED FARES
If you've traveled at all, you know that airfares today can be as complicated as Einstein's Theory of Relativity, but that theory can be easy to explain, comparatively.  It's actually easier to herd cats, than to understand airlines' pricing structures.  Restricted travel dates, restricted travel days, limited availability, minimum purchase requirements, Saturday night stays and the list goes on and on. They might as well add the color of your mother's eyes or the number of kids attending public school.

For an airplane to move a seat from point A to point B isn't any more or any less expensive 21-days in advance of the flight, so why should you, the Business Traveler, pay up to 1,000 percent more for the same type of service (and we use that term very loosely), simply because your schedule isn't as flexible? You, as a Business Traveler, usually don't have the luxury of advance notice nor the desire to stay through Saturday night, and therefore, you pay exorbitantly higher rates for the same seat. The real slap in the face is that you, most likely, will be seated next to, or near someone who paid $69 for the same miserably uncomfortable seat you paid $600 for! Hopefully, you will be lucky enough to get an aisle seat so that you can have blood flowing to at least one leg! The seating is comfortable - if you happen to be 4'9" or less. Over that, you need a shoehorn to get in your seat.

(Crystal Airways' ability to offer these fares is subject to government approval)

The only way an airline can afford to sell seats below their cost is to raise the price on other seats to make up the difference.  In other words, you, as the Business Traveler, subsidize those low fares the airlines are always touting. Crystal Airways feels this practice is discriminatory and is committed to not involving ourselves in it.  We will offer Business Travelers the best overall value in the airline industry - Period!

These fares, along with all Crystal Airways fares, are good any day of the week, any flight, any time of the day.  Every seat, every flight, every time, will be at the same reasonable price, no matter if you book 3 months or 3 hours in advance, you pay the same fare (and so does everyone else on that flight)!  No one on that flight is getting a better deal, no complicated reservations calls searching for the "best fare", no Internet surfing through hundreds of web sites to save 20% or 25%.  We save you an average of 40% on each and every Crystal Airways flight.  Simplicity in fares, superior service from airport-to-airport, a friendly, courteous staff throughout, unequaled comfort on board, sumptuous meals (on flights over 3 hours) and unparalleled value everywhere you turn!  These are the hallmarks of Crystal Airways' Crystal Class™.
