Open Skies New Route Between Paris and Washington DC begins May 3, 2010

It’s springtime in Paris. How would you like to fly there with all the leg room you can use plus all of the perks of business class for a reasonable price? Open Skies, the business class only airline owned by British Airways, has been operating flights between New York and Paris since 2008. On May 3, 2010, they begin flying out of Washington DC. Open Skies has two seating options – biz seat which reclines 140 degrees and biz bed with a 73″ seat pitch. I’m tall so either option would make me much happier than being squished into a regular coach seat and suffering the knee cramps and swollen ankles that come along with that. Biz Bed comes with gourmet, a la carte meals, and Biz Seat comes with an abbreviated version of the same. The Special Offers section quotes US $850.00 for the new Washington, DC- Paris route. This is the cost of a one way ticket based on round trip purchase. It all sounds great to me, and if Open Skies continues to offer specials I’ll definitely be using them for my next flight to Paris.
