If money is no object, The Examiner recommends a business-class flight to Orlando.

What: Flying business-class to Orlando

Where: From San Francisco International Airport

How much: Starting at $394 (one-way)

Why: From the Bay Area, there are few direct flights to Orlando. However, Air Tran Airways is offering a great deal to travel in luxury and comfort: business-class seats starting at $394, one-way. The 5-hour route to Orlando makes one stop at the low-fare airline's hub in Atlanta, at which you will take a one-hour hop to your final destination. Although Air Tran does not offer meal service on any of its flights, business-class travelers can enjoy extra-wide, comfortable seats, free drinks and more than 200 stations of FM radio.
