French airline La Compagnie has a special available only today, Sept 19
It is offering 10 of its unlimited passes for flights to Paris at a discount. This will get you unlimited flight to Paris for one year in business class. Return flights included. First come, first serve
There is a catch......the discounted price is $40,000.
Anyone buying one?
As always with such things, it's a great deal for the right person. If I had to, or chose to, fly regularly to Paris in business class, I'd jump on it. Alas, that's not my situation, so I'll have to pass on this one.
It does make me wonder about how much I need both kidneys.
For that amount, why not just rent an apartment there and stay put for months instead of flying back and forth? That seems like a better use of 40k to me.

ROF, Natalie!!!! First belly laugh of my day!
So, how much of a deal is that? What would be the regular, all-expenses-paid business-class annual pass? For anyone (or their company or their trust) who purchases that pass, I wonder how often they'll see the other 9 bargain-seeker flyers?
Arbitrarily picking round trip dates of Nov 1st - Nov 8th, it costs about $2000 round trip. There are some promo prices with restrictions for $550/leg, so maybe you can get $1100 RT. At regular prices, you'd break even after 20 trips.
Looks like they are targeting a specifically upscale market:
La Compagnie specializes in being all business class. Each airplane has only 74 seats, all of which lie flat and can give massages while you’re crossing the Atlantic. On board, passengers enjoy a seasonal menu of fresh, French-inspired meals and access to La Compagnie’s flying wine cellar.
