Arangrant is an online travel agency focused on business class and first class flights, selling fares it negotiates with airlines. It also offers hotels. It suits people flying long distances who would rather not pay the airline's list price, as long as they can live with strict fare rules.
What you can book
The core is international flights in business class, with first class and a hotel section alongside. You search the usual way with departure, destination, dates and travelers, round trip, one way or multi-city. Arangrant is an intermediary, so it books with the airline on your behalf. Phone support runs around the clock, which matters when a schedule changes or you need to rebook.
What a booking really costs
According to the footnote on the homepage, advertised fares are in US dollars per person, include taxes, fees and surcharges, and apply to weekday travel from the USA with a maximum stay of six months. Check that your departure city and travel day fit the advertised price. At checkout you may see several charges, for example the fare and the taxes and fees, which add up to the total.
Baggage is the classic trap. Some airlines charge for bags even on a pricey ticket. What your fare includes is shown on the order confirmation and the e-ticket, and the airline has the final say. For exchanges and refunds Arangrant also charges a processing fee, which can be reduced with the add-on bundles it sells.
Cancellation and payment
You pay by credit or debit card. After booking you first receive an order confirmation that is valid for 48 hours. Only once payment is complete and the ticket is issued do you get the e-ticket by email. The order confirmation alone is not a ticket.
Cancelling and changing depend on the airline's fare rules. Some airlines allow free cancellation within 24 hours of issue, though not every fare does. After that, a cancellation must be made at least 24 hours before departure, and whether you get money back depends on the fare. The promotional fares are described on the homepage as non-refundable, non-exchangeable and non-transferable. Settle that before you press pay.
How to save
The main saving is the negotiated business class fares. There are also discount coupons sent by email. They only apply to tickets bought directly on the Arangrant website, once per passenger, not to taxes, fees or extras, not to infants and not together with other promotions. Do not count on a discount on the whole final price.
Optional add-ons include price drop protection, a flexible ticket and cancellation cover. Whether they pay off depends on how firm your plans are. With a fixed date you can skip them, with an uncertain trip a flexible fare can end up cheaper than a later change fee.
Who Arangrant suits
The provider fits when your travel date is fixed and you want a long flight in a higher cabin. If you rebook often, take the strict fare rules and processing fees seriously. It helps to ask by phone before buying what your fare allows for baggage and changes, and to find the answer again in your confirmation. At the end, add up fare, baggage, fees and any add-on bundles and compare the total with the airline's own price.
The starred prices on the homepage are also no promise for every date. They apply to certain weekdays, departure cities and fares, and availability is limited. Your actual price is only known after a search with your own dates.
Tips
- Compare the price with the airline's own price for the same flights and the same baggage allowance.
- Read the fare conditions before you pay, not after.
- Make sure the name matches your passport exactly.
- Keep the order confirmation and the e-ticket saved separately.
- On itineraries with separate tickets, each ticket stands alone, so a missed connection is your risk.
