French all-business class airline La Compagnie has just launched a “Blue Friday” fare sale, which seems to be an annual promotion from the airline. While it’s not the most exciting offer ever, it has the potential to be a reasonably good deal if you don’t have access to miles, and/or don’t see saver level award availability for dates you need to travel.
La Compagnie used to have a lot more fare sales in the past, but with the amount of premium demand there is across the Atlantic nowadays, plus the carrier becoming more well established, they’ve become rarer. For that matter, even the sale prices have increased year after year. Regardless, this is still worth highlighting, for anyone who may be interested…

Fly transatlantic business class for $2,400 roundtrip
La Compagnie is running a fare sale, valid for tickets booked between November 21 and November 28, 2025. With this, you can pay $2,400 all-in roundtrip for travel from Newark (EWR) to either Paris (ORY) or Milan (MXP), which are the carrier’s year-round routes. You can also pay $2,700 all-in roundtrip for travel to Nice (NCE), which is the carrier’s seasonal route.
What’s useful is that the promotion is valid for travel between December 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026, so that gives you quite a long travel window.
There are blackout dates, and you can see all available dates for the La Compagnie fare sale through the carrier’s website. You can also search these fares through Google Flights. Fortunately availability is largely very good, with many dates during the promotion period being bookable.
This won’t be for everyone, but I do think this could make sense for some. If you value nonstop travel and/or don’t have miles to redeem, you won’t see business class fares much cheaper than this. Note that these tickets are non-refundable, though are changeable. So you have flexibility to change the dates in the future, though any fare differences would apply.
The La Compagnie A321neo business class experience
La Compagnie currently operates a fleet of two Airbus A321neo aircraft, each featuring 76 seats in an all business class configuration. I’ve reviewed the La Compagnie experience, and was impressed.
While La Compagnie’s business class seats as such aren’t cutting edge, there is something nice about traveling on a jet with fewer people, and for that matter the cabin also looks really cool.
The value here is simply incredible, especially when you consider that the airline offers complimentary high speed Wi-Fi (and it’s actually high speed, similar to JetBlue). The food, drinks, and service are all quite good as well, though nothing that’ll blow you away. It’s all about the overall value, plus the convenience of traveling nonstop on a smaller jet.
I’d book La Compagnie again in a heartbeat if I had any firm travel plans that coincided with this sale.
Bottom line
All-business class airline La Compagnie has a new fare sale for “Blue Friday.” For tickets booked by November 28, 2025, and for travel through May 31, 2026, you can book roundtrip travel on La Compagnie for $2,400 per person. It’s not the most exciting deal ever, but if you value premium travel and this fits your travel plans, it’s at least worth considering!
Does anyone plan on taking advantage of this La Compagnie fare sale?
Not a great airline. Middling lounges at ORY. Frequent delays (they have a small fleet). Indifferent service and food.
That’s a shame you feel that way; they have those two lounges at ORY (one you pay extra for). I didn’t think it was bad at all (nice views of the airport actually.)
As for fleet, yeah, just two, but they’re expecting a third soon! Bah.
As to delays, haven’t experienced anything significant with them yet, but thankfully they are EU261 compensation eligible, so at least you’d get paid if they screw up.
Probably the ideal flight for couples. These days most business class products are very focused on privacy, it doesn't make for a good group experience.
Every time I've flown LaCompagnie I've had the seat next to me empty, so the hard product has been a great experience. The padding and seat comfort itself is fantastic. They have also improved their food significantly. My favorite part is the private feel of the cabin and how boarding finishes within five minutes, so in my opinion are a great value.
Not impressed by the hard product. No direct isle access for windows seats. No matress pad. And not a spectacular price also.
I rather pay a little more and fly Air France with a much better BC product.
I remember when all business startups Maxjet and Silverjet were around in the 2000s and Maxjet would have sales for JFK-Stanstead for $1000 RT. Those were the days.
So, the same price today, accounting for inflation.
Maybe that's why they are not around today.
These BOGOs and other promotions, Blue Friday and Valentine’s day, are excellent. Have flown La Compagnie from EWR to ORY and MXP. Beautiful a321neos. (They have 2, expecting a third soon.) All business, 2-2, lie-flat. Good quality lounges at EWR, ORY, MXP, too. NCE is seasonal; hope to try it next year. Highly recommend, generally. If you can get $1K/person/way, that’s really good value for lie-flat TATL. Honestly, I wish there were more airlines like it. Huge fan.
