Deal alert: NYC travelers can fly business-class to Paris or Milan for $2,300

To celebrate summer, all-business-class airline La Compagnie currently has a deal offering a limited number of business-class flights from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Paris or Milan starting at $2,300.

This deal is only available to the first 500 people that book and flights have to be taken in August 2022, so be sure to book ASAP if interested.

While not the absolute cheapest business-class deal we've seen for these routes this year, $2,300 is still a solid deal compared to the other business-class options available for August. If you're looking for a last-minute getaway to Europe this summer, it's worth considering if based in the New York City area or can take an affordable positioning flight.

This is a good deal for business-class travel to Europe this summer since comparable flights from the New York City area over the same time period on other carriers start at $5,300.
