The city of Brussels which is the constitutional capital of Belgium is also considered to be the capital of Europe. This is because this regal city which is dotted with many historic buildings is home to the headquarters of the European Union. As a founding member of the EU, Brussels also hosts several other EU institutions like the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the Committee of the Regions and the European parliament which is the legislative branch of the EU composed of representatives elected by the people of the member states for the duration of a five-year term.

Brussels is the largest urban area in Belgium and it is composed of 19 municipalities including the City of Brussels which is the constitutional capital of Belgium, the Flanders and Wallonia. Brussels is in fact a Flemish-French bilingual enclave situated in the largely Flemish-speaking area of Belgium. Brussels occupies a position of great importance on the global geopolitical scene for it also hosts the headquarters of important unions like NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and Eurocontrol (the European organization for the safety of Air navigation) within its borders. However Brussels is not a city that is all stuffy and boring due to the prevalence of diplomats and bureaucrats who work out of its many glass fronted offices, the city has in fact much to offer for a tourist in the form of great sight-seeing, delectable food and wine and myriad shopping opportunities.

However if you are planning a trip to Brussels from a US city, then you have to be prepared for a long haul flight for which business class travel is especially recommended. Folks often believe that business class travel to Brussels like that to other European destinations is frightfully expensive but this is need not be the case for cheap business class tickets to Brussels are available if you know how to look for them. Often airlines that provide air links between US cities and the Belgian capital themselves offer special fares which take the form of business class discounts to Brussels and promote them via dedicated newsletters and social media tools. At other times, last minute bookings with airlines also sometimes afford you deep business class discounts. However if all this seems too difficult for you because you want a certain amount of flexibility in order to plan your journey, you may want to consider using the services of a reputed travel agent who continues to thrive in spite of the popularity of online booking sites.

Travel agents ( especially those run established businesses and have high sales volumes) often have a ready stock of business class deals which often represent discounts of up to 70% when compared to regular business class. These travel agents have access to cheap business class tickets by way of the personal connections and relations that they have with various airlines. These connections are usually mutually beneficial relationships which have been nurtured over years.

It must be mentioned that these cheap business class airfares are by no means inferior to regular business class fares for they afford you all the amenities that are usually associated with full price business class airfares like priority check-in, fast track immigration, enhanced luggage allowance, fully flat beds and limitless good food and wine along with great personalized service. These discount business flights sometimes have certain terms and conditions associated with them like advance purchase period and stay restrictions at the destination but these are minor inconveniences compared to the tremendous savings that they afford. Moreover they also often come loaded with additional perks like mileage accrual and pre-flight seat selection which is certainly not bad thing.
