A new airline recently began flying from Dulles to Orly, called Open Skies. I was on the website yesterday and a round trip ticket is $850 until September 10th. Although we all love coach as back door travelers--this rate is pretty good!

That's a great price and I will take Business/1st class any day of the week over coach :)
Looks like there are tickets available in May/June for those who waited a bit too long to book.

I believe that is $850 each way, not RT.
From New York, there are some flights at $750 (each wasy). But for June, at least, there are very few seats left at that price.

Well, that is interesting, because on the website it clearly indicates, under "special offers" that the $750 price for a "biz seat" from NYC to Paris is "*o/w based on a r/t purchase, taxes & fees extra. Restrictions apply".
And if you go to book a flight, it shows the price for each leg separately, $750 from NYC to Paris (if you pick the right date), and $750 for the return.

I have priced them out.... and unless Sue found some great sale it's generally $800 to $900 each way. However, that's still not a bad price. They have "business class" and "lie flat". Lie Flat is of course more.
They are owned by British Airlines and were up for sale, but I haven't followed thier status in a while.
