Fly Business Class from New York to Amsterdam from $550 Each Way; New York to Paris from $662 Each Way

If you are looking to fly to Europe and want to travel in style and comfort, Business Class is a consideration. But usually, all the low airfares offered are for Coach class, and Business is often overwhelmingly more expensive. But here are a couple of offers on a new Business-Class-Only airlines called Open Skies. They have fares from New York to Paris from $662 each way (based on roundtrip purchase). Even lower is Amsterdam with fares from $550 each way (roundtrip basis).

The Amsterdam flights have to be booked by April 30th; Paris travel has to be booked by May 31st. But the sooner you book, the better your choice of dates.

The promotional page doesn't show a date limit for when travel must be done. I did some checking and saw that searching on Tuesdays into July (peak summer travel period) these fares were still available (i.e. New York - Paris July 7th returning July 14th). And when you consider how high Coach fares get during the peak summertime, this amount for Business Class is even a better comparative deal.

These prices don't include the ubiquitous airport and security fees.

These Business Class accommodations offer seats that recline to an angle of 140° -- almost lying down. That makes resting and sleeping a whole lot easier.

If you want to pay more and get seats/beds that recline 180°, those are available too at double the cost -- still a big bargain over what you'd expect to pay for those. But the price/service ratio of the 140° seats seems to make the most sense -- it's not that much more than you'd pay for Coach on other airlines to these destinations.

These seats feature:
- recline to 140°
- 52” seat pitch - 12” more legroom
- one universal power plug-in for computer/personal electronics
- entertainment system with over 50 hours of audio and video

This really is a way to enjoy a classier travel style without taxing your budget much more than a European vacation would be in Coach. The slight splurge might be worth it in terms of enjoyment and your freshness when you arrive at each end.
