A few weeks ago, we flew to the city that never sleeps, New York, in comfort with La Compagnie.
The company is an airline like no other.
Firstly, the company offers its customers flights in business class only, with maximum comfort at a very competitive price (significantly cheaper than any business class on the market).
What’s also interesting is the positioning. La Compagnie is positioned as a boutique airline, a company with a more personalized service that fits in well with our regular clientele.
“With the creation of La Compagnie, my team and I set out to create a new business model, one that doesn’t exist today, despite customers’ appetite for a specific offer of this type: an EXCLUSIVE business class product, benefiting from the latest technological innovations, all at affordable fares. Thanks to La Compagnie, our customers now have access to this exclusive service: a unique 74-seat business class cabin at an ultra-competitive fare! Travelling with La Compagnie means choosing to travel better, but paying much less. La Compagnie is going to democratize business class where it is essentially most in demand, on scheduled long-haul routes.” FRANTZ YVELIN PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER LA COMPAGNIE
When purchasing a ticket, La Compagnie offers passengers the option of reserving a chauffeur-driven car to take them to and from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. With La Compagnie, baggage transport is extremely flexible: each passenger can check in up to two pieces of baggage weighing 32kg each. A “sport-friendly” company: La Compagnie welcomes passengers carrying sports equipment such as golf clubs, surfboards or ski equipment, at no extra charge.
We made our way to La Compagnie’s business lounge at Roissy airport, and even if it doesn’t yet meet La Compagnie’s expectations, we’re still waiting comfortably for our flight (the one to Newark is considerably better on the return).
After a few ups and downs due to bad weather in New York, we embarked on a top-of-the-range service. The attentive hostesses dressed as Vicomte A, the comfortable seats, the entertainment, the copious meals accompanied by fine wines and, above all, the ultra-comfortable, fully reclining seats, allowing us to rest in the best possible conditions. 
On board the aircraft, passengers can enjoy menus that change with the seasons, with simple, subtle recipes prepared with great delicacy by our chef, Christophe Langrée. For overnight trips from New York to Paris, La Compagnie offers a quick and light “chic snaking” formula to give passengers the freedom to rest. Champagne house PIPER HEIDSIECK is our exclusive Champagne partner on board. The on-board wine list has been carefully selected from traditional French producers from different regions. The Company also offers a selection of Grands Crus Nespresso capsules for passengers to choose from. “Making people travel is our business, in the air or in the spirit. Let’s go for the essential, simple, good and pleasant: that’s what we want to accompany you. Our cuisine follows the seasons, our desires and our inspiration. From Hôtel de Matignon to Faust, from Paris to New York, the idea is to liberate you a little more each time From my native Brittany to my travels around the world, I keep only the best to share with you.” Christophe Langrée, Chef at Faust restaurant in Paris.
Each passenger enjoys a comfortable private space thanks to seats dedicated to business class: seats integrated into a fixed hull, to preserve the individual space and comfort of all our passengers. The seat is 118 cm high and 66 cm wide. Each seat is spaced 62″ (155 cm) apart. In bed position, the seats recline to 180°. All are equipped with a USB socket, a power outlet and an individual lamp.
Once you’re close, you can refresh yourself with products from the Caudalie range.
We land in Newark rested and ready to tackle New York.
