One call to (888) 851 6897 connects you with a manager who specializes in exactly this type of transatlantic premium routing.
Why do private fares exist on routes like Cleveland to Amsterdam? Airlines regularly release unpublished inventory to accredited agencies to fill premium cabin seats that would otherwise fly empty. CEOFLIGHTS, an ASTA-accredited travel agency (reg. #900292735), has the industry standing and supplier relationships to access this inventory on behalf of clients. These fares carry the same confirmed business class seat, the same lounge access, and the same baggage allowances as any publicly purchased ticket — at a fraction of the visible price.
