The best thing to do is spend some time trawling the comparator sites and your favourite airlines.

 

You could also try a couple of companies by phone Westeast travel. dial a flight etc or even join the Wexas travel club.

 

A day googling should give you plenty of information

You need to decide on what standard of biz class you are after. Nowadays, there are pretty much two levels (disregarding any airline that is still using the old reclining seats:

 

Flat bed - the seat converts to a flat bed. The only non-stop carrier that offers this is BA. Downside - they are expensive but have the odd deal, particularly if there are two of you flying together. Indirect, Etihad is probably the best product that currently offers decent connections. That will change if Emirates gets more A380s on the BKK and LHR routes and can offer decent connection times on that particular aircraft type.

 

Lie-flat - The seat reclines down to (Typical) 170 degrees. Thai, EVA and Qantas have these seats. Both Emirates and Qatar offer a combination of both seat types with decent connection times.

 

As an earlier poster pointed out, it depends where you're flying from. If cash wasn't an issue, I'd opt for Singapore's A380 service.

In previous years i have used Netflights.com / ebookers.com /westeasttravel.co.uk / opodo.co.uk to search for flights

although this year i have preferred to search using http://www.kayak.co.uk where you can set up daily/weekly emails

to check flight prices for your specified dates.

 

Kayak are decent in that they just provide you with the link to the site with the good prices, this year i have booked

using their link to Emirates.com and will be flying with them at Xmas.

 

Using the dates of mine for Xmas / New year(remember xmas is always dearer) you can find Thai air (direct) at 2100 quid

for direct flights, emirates at 1900 quid and Etihad at 2700 quid, the Etihad price is stupid when you can flick to first class

on Kayak and find Emirates first class using the A380 for part of the journey at less money than Etihad want for business class.
