Romance a loved one in style with a business class flight to Europe thanks to La Compagnie’s Valentine’s Day sale.
The sale, which has flights starting at just $3,800 round-trip for two, is valid on travel from the New York City area to some of Europe’s most popular — and romantic — cities through the end of 2024, the airline shared with Travel + Leisure. To take advantage, travelers must purchase a ticket by Feb. 14.
“Experience the epitome of luxury with La Compagnie's 100% business class experience on all three of its routes from New York,” the airline wrote in a statement shared with T+L. “Travelers can enjoy the finest in-flight amenities, personalized service on-board, a seamless airport experience at departure and upon arrival, as well as premium food & beverage offerings… guaranteeing an overall comfortable and romantic journey at an irresistible duo fare.”
As part of the sale, couples can fly from Newark to Paris or Milan starting at just $3,800 round-trip for two, or fly from Newark to Nice in the south of France this spring starting at just $4,800 round-trip for two.
La Compagnie, which was voted the best international airline by T+L readers, operates a pair of business-class-only Airbus A321neo aircraft featuring only 76 seats on board. Each seat is lie-flat in a 2-2 configuration and features a 15.6-inch seat-mounted entertainment screen and free high-speed Wi-Fi.
On board, passengers are treated to elaborate meals like sauteed duck with endives and gingerbread on flights from Paris and salad topped with chicken confit on flights from Newark, as well as Champagne to toast the romantic vacation.
Recently, the airline launched flights to the Caribbean by teaming up with a boutique travel agency for a week-long vacation package complete with luxury accommodations on either the islands of St. Maarten, Anguilla, or St. Barts.

Fifteen-hour flights are becoming the norm these days now that aviation engineers have designed aircraft that can easily make those long-haul trips. Currently the longest journey is from New York City to Singapore (18.5 hours) but Qantas Airlines is set to debut a new offering next year—from Sydney to London, and Sydney to New York—flights that will come in at 20 hours. Most Qantas international flights are long-haul by definition (given Australia’s geographic situation) but their mastery of the business class experience makes them a pleasure to fly rather than an endurance test. During a recent 15 hour and 45 minute flight from Melbourne to Dallas I had the opportunity to inspect their business class offering on their 787-9 Dreamliner. Overall, the quality of the experience neutralizes the slog of 15+ hours with fine dining, great wines, comfortable seats and a great cabin crew.

It’s a weekly charter operated on Sundays arranged through the travel company E. Clarke Travel and its new program Travel In Style Journeys which includes personal services and accommodations in top villas and hotels.
