AirTravelGenius — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:23:59 +0000

There are some good business class deals out of London to New York for the Christmas and New Year period.

British Airways currently has a worldwide sale on. Club Class flights for London to New York JFK can be found from £1,322 (ex- Gatwick) and £1,329 (ex- Heathrow). These can be booked by 23rd September for travel between 16th December 2008 and 5th January 2009.

Virgin Atlantic have almost the same deal going – Upper Class from £1,332 from London Heathrow to New York JFK and Newark. Same travel dates as BA, also bookable by 23rd September.

Alternatively, Air France / Delta have business class prices at under £1,300 for London – NYC. We also found a £1,123 price on an Expedia special fare.

Icelandair fly London to NYC (via Reykjavik KEF) from around £1,170 in business class.

Tomorrow sees the inaugral flight of “OpenSkies“, British Airways’ European based project and a result of the open skies agreement between the EU and US. OpenSkies will fly daily from Paris Orly to New York JFK using a 3-class Boeing 757.

OpenSkies has linked up with all-biz L’Avion (code-sharing agreement) in order to go head-to-head against Air France at its home base. Business Class airfares on OpenSkies are available from €2,300 whilst economy fares can be found under €600.

However the real business class airfare action is happening on London – New York route. Checking prices for returns in July we see some fantastic deals available.

Air France-KLM / Delta seem to have the lowest fares (some direct flights, others via Paris) and are priced at under £1,000 / $2,000 which is excellent value (the lowest was actually £917 direct operated by Delta)

But we also found flights from Continental, British Airways, American Airlines and KLM for under £1,100 and Lufthansa and Virgin Atlantic for under £1,200.

So despite record high oil prices these business class airfares are very competitive.

There are some reasonable London to Los Angeles business class airfares on the market currently. With the demise of Maxjet who flew the route for under £1,000 and with the prospect of Open Skies bringing more competition let’s take a quick look:

Air France will begin a service from London Heathrow to LAX from April. You can pick up a return ticket for £1,800 in business class (£320 in economy) for travel during April. We also found an Expedia Special Fare with Air France of £1,650.

A few other airlines are pitching their business class products at this £1,800 level. You can presently find deals with British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, United Airlines and Air New Zealand. BA and Virgin have sales bookable until March 4th to a variety of destinations.
