Flying off to Paris for a second honeymoon sounds dreamy. Unless…you don’t sleep on the flight over. Even the most well-designed trip can be spoiled by a restless night trying to cram yourself into a small airline seat. No one needs that.
Flying business class may be the solution. But bear in mind, not all business classes are created equal.
In a world of its own is Open Skies, a subsidiary of British Airways, a business-class only airline which flies between New York and Paris for surprisingly affordable fares (as low as $1,180, tax and fees extra). Not bad, considering you feel as though you’re on a private jet in a 757 that normally seats 220 passengers, but on Open Skies, has been configured to accommodate just ninety six. There are two seating cabin options available: Biz Beds, which adjust to completely lie-flat and Biz Seats, declining to 140 degrees. Of course, there are all the new in-flight personal entertainment units, and the meals are actually something to look forward to: elegant, healthy and accompanied by great wines and champagnes.
Perhaps the most appealing aspect of it all is that Open Skies recently announced a new Best Fare Guarantee for travelers which promises that if you find a lower business class fare on the same itinerary elsewhere, they’ll honor the difference. The fare adjustment will be distributed to the customer in the form of a voucher for future travel. Hmm…a third honeymoon?
