A number of Oneworld members currently sells discounted business class tickets on American Airlines‘ nonstop service from Paris to New York. Flights are available up to August 2021, so no short term planning is needed to take advantage of this fare.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
Currently, a Boeing 777 with lie-flat-seats is scheduled to operate flights in both directions. You can expect a meal and complimentary selection of the seat of your choice. Luggage-wise, you will be permitted to bring 2 pieces of checked luggage and 2 pieces of hand luggage (56x40x25cm).
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.
American Airlines’ Business Class
American’s Business Class is generally well received. Their food and beverage service gets positive feedback as well as their lie flat seat. In contrast, their lackluster lounges and bulky air bag seat belts are main points of criticism. You can read a more detailed review in English or German.
By the way, this isn’t our only business class deal for flights from Paris:
