In case you weren't aware, there is an all-business-class airline called La Compagnie that flies between Newark and Orly. They were obviously on hold for the past year but are starting up flights again. Only 76 seats on a full size plane, and their fares are really not so bad for a roundtrip business class experience which is a splurge that many travelers to Europe are willing to make. They are also starting up seasonal service to Nice. Disclosure - I don't work for them and have not flown them, but it's tempting.

Very reasonable price for a low-fat seat.

I've had a lot of experience with La Compagnie - not booking them, but recovering from them. Two couples we work with own property in France and have flown La Compagnie quite often. I can see why it's so tempting - great prices in an all-business-class setting. Yet at least five times, their flights have been canceled or moved to a different day... and they call to be rescued. The additional costs they have incurred far outweigh the savings on their "successful" trips. One of these couples has now sworn off of La Compagnie. So, buyer beware.

Maybe they really are low-fat seats, you know, with celery and such instead of that foie gras we get so tired of! Or maybe just with less padding. ;-)

I looked at the website and they are, but more like a premiere generation 2+2 lay-flat, rather than the partially private walled-in spaces in business today.
“Low-fat” (yeh, my Google fi phone thinks it’s so smart).
