La Compagnie, an all-business-class airline based in France, is selling round-trip flights from Newark to Paris for just $1,300. And because it’s called the Family Trip Offer, the airline has cut the fare for kids ages 2 to 11 to $1,000.
This is a terrific deal for anyone who hates flying in sardine-can economy seats. Typical economy nonstops from the New York area in mid-July start at $1,063; the cheapest business-class seats on other lines start at around $4,600, and the La Compagnie business-class fare is actually $87 less than premium economy on Air France.
Granted, La Compagnie’s version of business class is not fully competitive with what you get on most of the giant airlines these days: The seats are “angle flat,” not “flat bed,” so you sleep on a flat surface that’s tilted a bit. Also, the meal service is a lot less elaborate. But La Compagnie’s business class is far better than anyone else’s premium economy, to say nothing of regular economy. For the price, this sale fare is a hard value proposition to resist.
The airline has indicated a sale end date of August 27, 2017; for travel between July 10 and September 3, but seats are limited. If you’re headed to France this summer, take a good look at La Compagnie; you aren’t likely to find a comparable deal anywhere.

These days, Babba Rivera is practically synonymous with her haircare line Ceremonia. The brand's Instagram feed is filled with shots of her lush brown hair, drenched in guava-scented products; signature pops of hibiscus pink, lime, and tangerine, are both splashed across bottles of deep-conditioners and her envy-inducing wardrobe. In that way, the line between work and personal life is always blurry—something she was reminded of when she recently spent a month working from Mexico City.
