Google a bit and you will find they have big seats but not as good as BA

61" leg pitch 26" wide

But try getting BA business class at that price!

London to New York

Good find, but strictly speaking it's Luton to Newark.

Based on personal experience I find getting home to Hampshire from Luton can be faster than Heathrow, and JFK immigration if you catch it at the wrong time yikes.

But comparison sites do include Luton in the range of London airports and Newark in the Range of New York airports

Lots of availability on the offer fares - this is a great deal. Remember to book by credit card in case the airline runs into difficulties.

And for those of us north of London, Luton is far easier to get to than Heathrow or Gatwick!

Well you can fly from Heathrow to Newark with US Airways same sort of dates for nearly £4,700 for 2 people, is travelling to Luton worth saving over £3,600?

I think it is important to realise you will not get a full business class experience at this price but it may still be a good deal. It appears they fly with only three cabin crew meaning the meals take a long time to be served and the seat is not really a lie flat seat at all. The real worry is that the airline will burn through its money quickly, it certainly hasn't made a profit on the Paris route and with only two planes, if one goes tech. you could be waiting a long time for a replacement, still it might be worth a go if you plan to travel before the peak summer season

I am going in October, so no special offer (yet), but my perspective isn't that of comparing it with full business class like BA but if I can get flights for the same as what I would expect to pay for economy

Re cancelled flights, and lots more details about the flights http://carlosmeliablog.com/2014/08/la-compagnie-boutique-airline/

Seats do (some of the time) go to 180 degrees, but at an angle

They have something in common with Norwegian, the flight times are poor.

It's an incredibly old business class product and is no way in comparable to the offering of major airlines line BA. The seat fully extended is on an incline and is incredibly uncomfortable and you'll find yourself slipping down the seat. It's far better to put the seat into more of an arm chair mode.

All that said, for the money its very very good value if the flight times and venues are workable.

The flight time to New York is so short it hardly seems worth spending that money on a couple of business class seats from Luton to Newark.
I think I'd prefer to fly regular economy out of LHR and spend the additional money on an upgrade to a decent hotel in NYC.
