New British Invasion!

Filed under: Airlines, News, Europe, Business Travel — Rick Seaney @ 12:22 pm

What do you call an airline spawned by the new “Open Skies” agreement to ease transatlantic travel? How about…Open Skies? Yes, that’s the name of a new airline being launched by British Airways this summer.

And so the “invasion” of America has begun…or is it a British invasion of France? Turns out, BA’s new airline is taking on Air France: starting in June, Open Skies will offer flights from Paris (and Brussels) to New York.

The UK’s TimesOnline reports Open Skies will offer 24-”flat-bed” seats in business class, as well as “premium economy” and regular economy seats.

(I love the term “premium economy”… so much better than “steerage”.)
