What's it like to fly on the world’s only ALL business class airline? When you fly La Compagnie, there isn’t a single economy or premium economy seat on the plane! Every single one of the 76 seats on this airplane is a business class seat. This 8-hour flight from Newark to Milan usually costs anywhere from $4,000-$6,000 roundtrip. But we paid much, much less! Find out exactly how much we paid, and how we scored this amazing deal on La Compagnie!
When you're done with this one, watch our Singapore Airlines business class video here:

Check out our Singapore Airlines business class review here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m9ANjWDL91A.html It’s another great way to cross the Atlantic!

LOVE Singapore--have done that twice JFK to FRA. [FRA, however, I do not love . . .]

@Vlad6525 Год назад

I've been flying business class for the past 15yrs give or take and I've come to appreciate a light(er) meals on relatively short (6-8hrs) transatlantic flights. Think about it: you're departing in the afternoon and you're arriving to your destination sometime in the middle of the night (at your place of origin time). Do you really want to stuff yourself with large portions of meat, fish and pasta during the nighttime? And then have a breakfast served just 3-4hrs later. Smaller and lighter meals will allow you to sleep better for the 2-4hrs you have to do so on the plane and arrive more refreshed to your destination. Going back to USA is a different story: you're flying in average for an hour longer and it's a daylight flight, so you can consume more food and still not feel stuffed. Just some "food for thought"...

@peterfinn6098 Год назад

Yes i like the full meal, depends on your eating habits and culture

@PoloNYC Год назад

i absolutely love La Compangie. Flew on their B757 plane back in 2017 to Paris. They didn't have the lie flat on those planes, had angled-flat, which were still comfortable. I see they've raised their prices a bit, but still a good price nonetheless. I definitely want to fly their new A321neo planes, and go to either Nice or Milan this time. It's a bit disappointing that the food was blah. Looks like that took a hit, because the food on there used to be pretty good years ago.

@Mr.PierceG Год назад

Wow. Great video. I went on this airline and lounge in 2019. It was a great experience and the food was great.

@breaellis Год назад

I love that you talked about what lounge is associated with this airline. I definitely consider the lounge options when deciding whether I want to pay for a Business or First class seat. Sometimes the lounge is the best part of the experience bc not all business/first class seat are created equal. Thanks for giving such an honest review of this airline. I’ve been wondering if it’s worth flying.

@TopFlightFamily Год назад

Hey Brea! Yeah for sure the lounge is such an important part of the overall experience and you’re literally paying for it lol. Like that’s built into the price. I’m just glad we were able to eat before we got on this flight because otherwise I don’t know what we’d have done 😅

@TopFlightFamily Год назад

Agree! It’s still great value especially if you can score a deal like we did. That said, I still don’t think you should ever step off a business class flight feeling hungry 😅 I feel like they can find ways to make these meals more filling, even as a low-cost carrier. (Like even just add a dollop of rice to everything lol!)

@francescoceresani3343 Год назад

6:13 From a European view, that is also a light dinner, but the portion size is FAR from being minuscule and "appetizer" feel. It may just be an American view since portion sizes there are so much bigger compared to European food.

@annecy49 Год назад

I agree with you: The food on flights originating from North America is never as tasty as the one served on the way back, especially flying back from Asia, or Paris for instance. However, that your food was not heated up enough is not excusable. As for the size of your cup and glasses, as a European, I don't see anything wrong, but for Americans, everything has to be big :) That was a nice review, the first I ever watched about La Compagnie. Cheers!

@JBM425 Год назад

There have been several attempts at a business-class only airline in the last two decades. None have made it. In part, despite the very attractive fares and services/amenities, they don’t participate in any of the major airline alliances, so any sort of frequent flyer program they had/have is limited to only that airline. Most professional travelers want to rack up the points and have flexibility with how they are used. These business-class carriers have to build a loyal base, attract as many casual flyers as possible, and hope for high load factors.

@christopherstlambert62 Год назад

Damn, how big do you want the meals to be. The portion looked good to me and you could always ask for more if you're hungry. For the price you paid I think it's a great product.

@enniofriede 11 месяцев назад

Yeah im not sure about this concept - it feels like a low cost business but the price is pretty high for the distance.

@LiamWalsheliamskitchen Год назад

I flew with them pre-pandemic EWR-ORY and back. Strangely enough, I thought the catering out of EWR was better than that out of ORY - at least for special meals. I ate in the EWR lounge so the cold grilled vegetable platter I got on the flight was actually quite welcome. The dish I received on the return was hot, and, while edible, it wasn't as good. I also flew EWR-CDG once on United in business and the catering was actually very good. Best airline catering I've experienced was on Gulf Air out of Frankfurt. Yes, it was ever so slightly better than JAL First class out of HND food-wise as the lacto-ovo vegetarian mains were a bit of a miss - albeit everything else was outstanding. Beverage wise, JAL F was better - you can't beat the Salon 2007 Champagne.

Glasses, plates, food etc. belong more to an european vision of what can be understood by "the size" of the things (in general). When I travel around in the US, I most often only order 1-2 starters and give a decent tip to the waiter since what you get on a plate or in a glass is, in my very opinion, meant for 2 people. Well...different countries, different habits. Anyway, thank you for the nice footage!!

@TopFlightFamily Год назад

Not in this case. We’ve flown business class this year on Emirates, Qatar, Turkish, Singapore, and KLM and none of them have such small portions or glasses. You’ll have to trust me that the La Compagnie’s sizes are absurdly small not just compared to American sizes, but to all these airlines across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

I think some of your complaints are due to cultural differences. Smaller coffee cups/glasses are more desirable in Europe, compared to North America. Also, La Compagnie is in essence a "budget business class" airline, hence why some aspects (e.g. catering, bathroom decorations) have been simplified to offer business class flights at prices below the legacy carriers.
