I've my older parents traveling from Chennai(India) to Seattle and back to Chennai. I want them to travel comfortably, therefore Business class or preferred seats would be preferred.

Approx dates, I'm looking are about June 18th - Aug 5th. I'm getting quotes for Business class for 4100USD/ticket in Emirates Airlines via Dubai with 1 stopover in Dubai. In comparison Economy ticket would cost 1400USD/ticket, which is 1/3 of the price of the Business class.

The business class tickets are turning out to be expensive, and I'm looking for creative ways to bring the parents comfortably but with a lesser price.

My alternative ideas are:

  1. Get Business class outbound (Chennai->Seattle) only, and keep the inbound (Seattle->Chennai) as economy class.
  2. Check if there are Preferred Economy tickets (the front of the aisle seats which have more leg room), instead of Business class.
  3. Check if they can provide Business class only for a leg of the Outbound journey (Dubai->Seattle), instead of the complete outbound journey

What are some other alternative ideas?

I've heard about upgrades to Business class, just a few days before travel. How much would they cost? I understand that there is a risk that this is subject to Business class availability and luck.

Any other ideas?
