La Compagnie has made a name for itself as the world's only all-business-class airline. It has also become known for its annual "Blue Friday" sale, when it offers discounted fares during the busy Black Friday shopping weekend. Taking its cue from the carrier's distinctive baby blue aircraft livery, the sale returns for another year, but with a new twist.
This year, the promotion runs for an entire week, because no one wants to waste any time dropping their big holiday sales. The Blue Friday promotion begins Nov. 21 and runs through Nov. 28, coinciding with Black Friday. With the sale extended to a full seven days, customers will get more time to score business-class fares from New York City to destinations in France and Italy from $2,400 round-trip.
If you're not familiar with La Compagnie, its fleet of Airbus A321neo jets features a 2-2 configuration with 76 lie-flat seats. A transatlantic ticket gets you priority airport service; premium lounge access; and free, unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi, as well as two free checked bags.
The travel window for this sale runs from Dec. 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, meaning you can spend part of the holiday season in Paris. You can also pack your skis and jet to Milan, and take a side trip to one of the nearby ski resorts.
