Flying business class from New York to Paris in business class just became more affordable. Forget about frequent flyer miles on United or American, but this airline will provide business class service for the rate you pay in Economy on most other airlines.
La Compagnie Airline will initially operate five weekly flights between Newark Liberty and Charles de Gaulle starting in July.
The airline is advertising fares to Europe starting at around $1,600; that’s before any introductory promotions, which I’ll get to in a minute.
The carrier is operating a Boeing 757-200 aircraft entirely equipped with business-class seating: a single-class cabin that has 74 seats that recline flat in a two-by-two configuration. Each seat is positioned in a private shell, passengers receive pre-loaded Samsung entertainment tablets, and the entire plane has free Wi-Fi.
Here is the bad news: Airline tickets are available in Europe, but no tickets can’t be sold in the United States due to current government regulations.
