We have often talked about La Compagnie, a French company that operates intercontinental flights with single-aisle planes outfitted only with business-class seats.
Blue Friday Offer
The Blue Friday offer is available from November 18 to 22. The A321 operates direct round-trip connections from Milan to New York (EWR), and with this promo you can detach a ticket from €1,200 A/R to fly Between December 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023. It is not the lowest ever seen in recent months, but certainly-with high fuel prices and the general increase in ticket costs in recent months-it is an attractive offer, partly because it includes both the Christmas 2022 and summer 2023 periods.
To be nitpicky, I was able to create an itinerary that eventually it costs less than €1,200, albeit by a little.
How to fly aboard La Compagnie
The Milan/New York route has by far the most competition among all intercontinental routes in Italy, is covered by six companies and is therefore the one where it is easiest to detach a discounted price and where Neos's low-cost offer is also present.. In this case, since it is a business class ticket, the competition ranges from Emirates' A380 to the French carrier's A321 to ITA Airways, which flies older A330s outfitted with the Magnifica class cabin.
La Compagnie is unique in the world of aviation. Voted the best French company in 2021 by Tripadvisor users, was also ranked eighth on the list of the top 1 carriers operating in the United States by the prestigious Travel and Leisure.
The special feature is that, for its connections, it offers only business class seats.
On board the Airbus A321s there are only 76 seats divided into 19 rows. Being a single-aisle aircraft, the cabin configuration includes a 2-2 layout.
In the cabin, everything is taken care of down to the last detail, starting with the comfortable armchairs that turn into comfortable beds.
Each station is equipped with a screen of more than 15 inches, and there is wi-fi on board.
The Compagnie also places a strong emphasis on service. From lounge access before departure, to a 4-course gourmet menu designed for passengers.
In conclusion
I have flown intercontinental on a single-aisle plane before, and I have to say. I am not very enthusiastic about this trend. Unfortunately, however, this is the trend, and Airbus will be delivering more and more A321xlr to companies around the world, so more and more of us will be flying this way in the coming years.
