TransAtlantic Airfare Deals ex-London and ex-Amsterdam

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

British Airways’ OpenSkies had its inaugural Amsterdam to New York flight yesterday which should hopefully bring some lower transatlantic prices to Schiphol flyers.
OpenSkies is offering return flights all-in for 799 in prem+ (highly rated Premium Economy) and 2,313 in biz (full business class). The prem+ deal looks good value. Don’t forget you can earn BA Executive Club miles.

OpenSkies also flies from Paris to New York.

Amsterdam – New York business class prices at around the 2,250 level can also be found with Northwest Airlines, Air France (via Paris), British Airways (via London, with its excellent lounges) and Iberia (via Madrid).

With the credit crunch having hit Iceland severely, Icelandair is still offering competitive London to New York business class fares (via Reykjavik) from around £1,170.

Air India flies direct from London to Newark with fares available from £1,250 in business class and £1,900 in first.

Even cheaper, Kuwait Airways business class London Heathrow to New York JFK can be had for £985. First class from £1,370.

London to New York Business Class Deals

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

With the recent demise of all-business Maxjet and EOS Airlines, let’s take a quick look at what deals you can get for June 2008 in business class on flights between London and New York.

Silverjet offers its twice daily service from Luton to Newark. Prices are currently quoted from £1,299 return on Silverjet’s website (£999 has been frequently available, but it looks like they have put the price up with EOS and Maxjet out of the way – however watch for special offers). Also check the major online agents like Travelocity as you may find slightly cheaper deals – we found a price of £1,200.

If you are a Skyteam member, then Delta Airlines have return business class flights from LHR to NYC available from £1,250.

Icelandair have flights in their ‘Saga Class’ (business class) priced from £1,097 return all-in. Note you have to make a stop in Reykjavik, but their booking engine makes it very easy to find the cheapest fare.

On a more ‘offbeat’ note, Kuwait Airways have non-stop flights from London Heathrow to New York JFK using Boeing 777s. You can find business class flights priced from just £860 or fly in first class from around £1,200.

Air India also flies non-stop between LHR and JFK on Boeing 777s. Return tickets in ‘Executive’ (business class) can be found for just over £1,100, with first class at £1,750.
