How does springtime in Paris sound? A lark in lovely London? Or anywhere else in Europe in lie-flat business class?
Today SkyTeam airlines Delta, Air France and KLM launched a flash sale for business class tickets on many US-to-Europe routes. As we publish this post, we are seeing similar fares on American, United and other Oneworld and Star Alliance carriers, so we have a bit of a fare war on our hands…)
But you need to act fast because seats will sell out fast and you only have until February 28 to get the deal.
Roundtrip fares are in the $2,500 range from the east coast; about $3,000 from midwest cities and around $3,200 from the west coast. These fares represent a nice discount on business class, which usually runs in the $4,000 to $7,000 range. (Scroll down for sample fares on KLM and Air France)
Details:
>Book by February 28
>Travel from April 4 – April 27 (However, we see sale fares on many routes stretching into early June, so check)
>Book directly at Delta, Air France and KLM. (Check business fares on other carriers for April flights because we don’t see fare sale pages posted yet)
A press release states, “Air France’s Business Class cabins feature a fully flat bed, aisle access for every passenger, and a multipurpose area complete with a desk, restaurant table and bed. KLM’s World Business Class cabins also feature a reclinable bed, in addition to a personal entertainment system and comfort kits designed by Dutch designer Jan Taminiau.”
