What's the Best Way to Find Business Class Deals Without Using Miles?

[Balletrist]

I'm trying to book more long-haul trips in business class, but paying the standard airline fare every time gets expensive quickly. Besides using points or miles, what strategies have actually helped you find lower fares—flexible dates, alternative airports, private fares, or specialized travel agencies?

For finding business class fares without miles, I personally use travelbusinessclass.com. They tap into airline partnerships to find discounted rates, and I saved over two grand on my last booking with their help. The 24/7 support made everything simple.
