- Missed the entry into service of the new Airbus A321-LR by only two weeks but still had a great experience aboard F-HCIE, one of B0's two Boeing 757-200’s.
This surprising French all business class airline offers scheduled flights between EWR and ORY & NCE. Flight report featuring Orly 4 (formerly Orly Sud), apron boarding, interior cabin views, take off from runway 24, lunch and afternoon snack, IFE, old style bathroom, descent, landing and taxi at Newark Liberty.International.

When it comes to the quarrel about whether a product is really Business Class or not, I suppose it all comes down to what they are asking people to pay. If the cost is on proportion to the product offered, then that is fine by me. Thank you for the video!
You're very welcome Daniel; thanks for watching. I paid 1000€ for a return ticket, which is what I'd call 'excellent value for money'.
Excellent video. I’ve often wondered what travelling on this airline is like, now I know. Thanks.
You're very welcome. Always try to capture the atmosphere of a flight - glad you like the result.
For a business class flight, I believe they can use something more expensive than Gordon’s. The food and silverware seems nice and well portray business class.
Great video!
;-) Thanks for watching.
Wow, great video! Thanks for the upload! Love the 757!!! But the A321LR will be nice too I'm sure!! Love the cabin, and the colors are very smart. Excellent music choice!
Thanks for watching and for giving me this positive and detailed feed-back. Always appreciate when viewers like the vid and let me know ;-)
Thank you for taking us along. I really enjoy watching your Videos and I‘m looking forward to the next one.
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching this one (and others then ;-)
What a beautiful 757-300. The inside looks brand new. The set up looks awesome.
I think that plane is actually a 757-200. The cabin has been fitted out in 2015, when she joined La Compagnie so it's quite new indeed. . It does look and feel agreeably cozy and yet classy ;-) Thanks for watching.
Very nice video. I like the map over lay. Very clever and useful feature. Thank you
You're very welcome; thanks for watching. I'm glad you like it.
Very cool video! I guess this service is similar to the one british airways has departing from London city, a very cool project. Loved the music choice aswell haha Thanks!
Thanks for watching. Glad you like it.
BA is much more expensive I think... For La Compagnie we could say affordable.
The music was tastefully placed in the video, well done!
Thanks for watching - and listening. Music is always a tricky thing - some viewers will like it, some won't ;-)
Hope this carrier makes it! Would love to fly on it!
They celebrate their 5th anniversary this year; I read about an average load factor of 80-85% - so they must have gotten something right ;-) Thanks for watching.
Le concept full business est très intéressant, surtout à ce prix et les prestations ont l'air très bien.. J attends le review avec Airbus A 321 car cette vieille dame mérite sa retraite. Beau travail comme d habitude
Merci d'avoir regardé à nouveau. Hélas, le A321, ce ne sera pas pour tout de suite - mais un jour c'est sûr ;-)
Mr Spielman, thank you . One of the best reviews yet. As a Frequent flyer, (40 years +), and a pilot myself I was remiss of the La Compagnie airline. True, as you say not quite BC more PE but the food looked excellent. Will check out if they fly from Uk - but doubt. Merci
La Compagnie also flew from London Luton to Newark for a short period of time but they have suspended that lign since. Thanks for watching. I'm glad to read that you like the vid ;-)
I feel this would be popular in Australia
It sure would ;-) Sydney-Singapore for example is about the same distance as Paris-New York. Thanks for watching.
Agree
¡Parece una excelente compañía! ¡Felicitaciones por el vídeo y saludos desde Ecuador!
Great review. I caught the $999 special round trip for later this year. Looking forward to my flight and trip.
Have a good trip then, I'm sure you'll enjoy it ;-) Thanks for watching.
My opinion, given the hard product, it's decidedly Premium Economy.
The FA's we wearing shorts or skorts ? Interesting..........
But excellent value for money. And yes, the cabin crew wear a type of bermuda-shorts ;-) Thanks for watching.
Very nice review, Mr Spielmann. Just booked a november flight and can't wait to try the A321. Flew BC with Emirates and AA before and looking forward to compare. Spoiler alert, Emirates will be tough to beat .-).. but prices are very different!
Have a good flight then ;-) Thanks for watching.
While I was watching this I was thinking "premium premium economy"....and then I saw the end of your video. 😄
Thanks for watching. No matter how you may call it, definitely a great experience and an incredible value for money !!! Highly recommended.
thanks for sharing your video, very informative.
You're very welcome, glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Tes vidéos font rêver :D
Merci de ton intérêt continu et de ce retour encourageant;-) C'est les voyages qui font réver - et dont j'essaie de capturer l'esprit dans les vidéos. Content si ça me réussit.
Too few airlines like that these days, looked enjoyable. I can remember flying SIA and QANTAS first class back in the early 90s in first class, 747s, 2 x 2 and with no lie flat chairs. How things change.
WAS enjoyable ;-) Thanks for watching.
C'est magnifique Pit.Awesome way of flying
Great experience indeed. Thanks Yannis for watching.
That guy with his feet up totally unacceptable ☝🏽😡Maybe they knew each other but just the same......
One way or another, it's just plain rude. If they don't know each other, it's super rude ;-)
Thanks for watching.
If he had put his feet up on my seat he would have serveral missing toes when he disembarked the flight.
The crew were totally ignorent and very unprofessional they should have told the arsehole to sit up and move his feet to the floor.
What an ignorant prick✈️🤔
Excellent review!! I have flown La Compangie three times now. I still miss the UK to NYC trip bud find the deal worth flying in to Orly and hopping a regional airline to wherever else in Europe I need to go.
Thanks for watching. Yes, they are definitely worth making a detour ;-)
@@PitSpielmann is Paris - Newark the only flight route that La Compagnie Botique takes?
I though on this kind of flights every one will behave! since it is all business, until @10.00. Thanks for the video Pit, for the inside of something I was always curious about :)
You're very welcome Ahmed, thanks for watching. Well, business class is like the real world: some people know how to behave, others don't ;-)))
Unfortunately, the world never runs out of assholes, even in business class.
so true ;-)
I planned same flight but from Nice Côte d'Azur next year.... The Airbus is not on service from Nice... Still the Boieng the old lady...
Have a good trip then. The old lady is astonishingly agreeable to fly with - a truly great experience.
Fantastic report, well done!
Thanks for watching. Just checked out your channel and latest KLM video in Groningen - cool, too ;-)
@@PitSpielmann Thank you! :)
Just discovered your channel. An excellent first video. Thank you. What is your favourite trans Atlantic carrier?
Thanks for watching. As you can see on my other videos, I mostly fly Air France or KLM - and mostly to Asia, but La Compagnie was definitely a deal I can recommend across the Atlantic.
Pit Spielmann I shall certainly consider La Compagnie. I was disappointed when they cut their UK service. I mainly fly with legacy carriers, but feel I should mix it up a bit.
Thanks for your+input about the flight
You're very welcome; thanks for watching.
Business class light.
;-) The only thing I found a bit "light" was the IFE that crashed several times and the sound quality of the headphones. The seats were actually quite comfy and the meals excellent. And it all comes at a price tag of 1000€ for a return flight. To summarize: coll experience at an exceptional price. Thanks for watching.
loved the image at 8:14 sec :). As usual beautiful stories
Mirror, mirror ;-) Thanks for watching ;-)
Only last May but seems such a loooong time ago ;-(
I could Not believe what I saw @ 10:00 this guys feet up on the headrest in front of Mr. 1%
Yep. Definitely not everyone in Business Class has classy manners ;-((( While editing my video, I briefly wondered if I should cut it out or not - finally left it in - but had to put a comment. Thanks for watching.
10:00 - very rude, I can almost smell his feet from here.
So true!! I could not sit there quietly if someone did that behind me.Thanks for watching ;-)
This guy is a disgrace. Fucking peasant! You should have told him off.
plus the bag in the aisle :(
You would think the flight attendants would tell him to park his funky dogs on the floor.
Overkill with the music. I personally like takeoff and landing without the music. You flash the menu description a little fast.
Usually I do too but filming with your gopro camera in it's box doesn't give you a great sound - so I just kept it as background "noise". Thanks for watching anyway.
Check out my latest AF, CI, LX and OS B777 videos for "live" take off sound
Background music is epic
Thanks for watching - and listening ;-)
U welcome
13:12 = butter landing
Yep !! ;-) - after an overall rather smooth flight; thanks for watching.
Franchement pour 100€ des plus que une classe éco (chez AF) ca vaut large le coup et moins t'est frustré de voir qui reste des place buisness quand t'es dans la veille eco, En plus un A321Neo...Que des bons points
Que de bons points en effet ;-)
@@PitSpielmann Je viens de céder.. J'ai demander a ma femme si elle veut aller a NY, Elle a dit un grand OUI ! Donc, j'ai pris un aller-retour pour le mois de décembre ^^.
D'ailleurs je vais essayer d'en faire un trip report.
Bon voyage alors ;-) Et tiens moi au courant lorsque ton flight report (à bord du A321, quelle chance!!) sera en ligne ;-)
Oui bien evidament ^^.
Aussi j'avais oublier que tu etait dans le 757, il ont bien fait de changer ! A ce qu'il parait c'est un avion super silencieux, on l'appel l'A350 babybus.
And the cost one way for the time of season?
I would prefer to use my own Bose Noise Canceling headsets, don't know how they sanitize their headphones. Any idea as to what type of connector was used on their units?
Food and drink menu looked Great!
Subgunman Should be a common jack connector because the IFE is just a samsung tablet...
To gather the headphones prior to landing is a major inconvenience to the passengers.
I've seen many airlines doing it, even Singapore Airlines ... Thanks for watching.
And what about the price ? I think it's important no ?
sometimes 1200 €
It's very important and it is the price that makes this whole experience so exceptional: 1000€ for a round trip - so unbelievably good value for money. Thanks for watching.
What happened th the bread and butter plate
Lost in the process I guess. Thanks for watching nonetheless ;-)
7.16 Newquay not Normandy..
Pas mal pour le prix
Pas mal du tout en effet. Et avec le nouvel A321 désormais, c'est sans doute ENCORE mieux ;-) Merci pour ton intérêt.
That's a very big business class for a 757
It's only buiness
La Compagnie is an all business class airline so the entire plane only has 74 (business class) seats. Thanks for watching.
do you have access to any lounges ???
Yes, but due to a traffic jam south of Paris, I was late and couldn't use the one at Orly. The one at Newark is "ok"-ish but definitely nothing extraordinary or spectacular. Thanks for watching
Fromage Rocamadour ?
Possible mais pas sûr ;-) Merci d'avoir regardé la vidéo.
Une compagnie secrète selon le détective du voyage Peter Greenberg.
"Secret" au sens "confidentiel", je suppose ;-) En effet, avec 3 avions et 2 destinations ORY&EWR (plus une saisonnière NCE), on ne les voit pas aux quatre coins du monde. Et pourtant, cette video a eu un des plus impressionnants démarrages en termes de vues de tous mes flight reports, hormis Singapore Airlines et China Airlines il y a 6 mois. Donc il doit bien y avoir de l'intérêt. Merci d'avoir regardé.
@@PitSpielmann Je vous suggère d'aller voir sa chaîne et il y a une vidéo don't le titre est Secret airlines.
Tune😀😀
Thanks for watching - and listening. Had a look at your channel, quite an impressive list of favorites you have there ;-)
Not a fan of bread without a plate.
;-) Didn't really bother me. There's a table cloth, so the bread does not come in contact with the folding table. Otherwise I would agree. Thanks for watching
If they bought a couple 767 200's they could do the same service all over the world...
layout 1-2-1 and everyone would have direct aisle access
Not sure they want to ;-) Their business model appears to work on a very limited number of destinations (2 + 1 seasonal) and planes (3). Thanks for watching.
Some time👍
Hopefully soon then ;-)
Are 25 year old planes even safe??
Unlike cars, planes can be in service for 25, 30 or even 35 years and longer. What's important is a regular and serious maintenance, the age doesn't matter then. Thanks for watching.
Pit Spielmann so you are saying that as long as the plane has been maintained the correct way, it’s fine? Ok thanks!
I fly a Cessna aerobatic plane made in 1963 enough said ?
There are DC-3s made in the 1940s still flying strong at 75+ years old! And it was only some 5 years ago that Delta retired some DC-9s (inherited from the Northwest merger) made in the early 1970s. A few years further back, Northwest was still flying some made in the 1960s.
Ariel A brand new Boeing 777 can set you back. 150 million dollars .. but would
Comfortably handle 8 short haul trips a day! .. a 13 year old used Boeing 777 would set you back 10 million dollars. Would require more maintenance. And can probably be used less..
Since it’s a long haul
Flight and once per day.!!
A 25 year old plane is just fine ..
I also notice
Even though it’s “business class”
They cut costs in so many places
The entertainment system for business class seat on a carrier like Ethiad , Qatar. With automated seats, large LCD displays and others
Would set you back 10,000$ per seat..
On this airline
Loooks to me to be only an iPad which would definitely cost less than 1,000$ per seat. For 75 seats ..
Even if they’re changed every year.
Still a great money saver
sehr guter essensservice…..
Sehr gut in der Tat. Und ein unschlagbares Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Genau das richtige für ein kurzfristig improvisiertes Wochenende New York zu (unter anderem) das TWA Hotel. Nur leider der falsche Airport ;-)))
Cheap business class okay just saying
You have to put the ticket price (in my case 1000 € return) in relation to the product. And THAT's where they are unbeatable. Thanks for watching.
I hate Paris airport the only plus side is Paul bakery and Lauduree macaroons. Thank goodness American airports don’t use remote gates
Thanks for watching.
