Attitude Hotels


In premium travel, time has become as valuable as comfort. With its unique concept of 100% Business Class aircraft, La Compagnie offers a transatlantic experience that blends efficiency, simplicity and high-end services. Priority access to security checks, lounges included in all fares, boarding and disembarking in around 15 minutes on average thanks to a cabin limited to 76 passengers, as well as free high-speed Wi‑Fi and refined gastronomy: the French company goes the extra mile to make every step of the journey more enjoyable. Concrete advantages to promote to business travelers as well as leisure clients.


A 100 % Business Class cabin: the secret to a smoother journey

Since its launch in 2013, La Compagnie has chosen to reinvent the transatlantic experience around a singular concept: aircraft configured exclusively in Business Class, with a deliberately limited number of passengers.

On its next-generation Airbus A321neo aircraft, only 76 seats are offered, all in Business Class, in a 2-2 configuration. Each seat converts into a perfectly horizontal bed, giving travelers optimal comfort to work, relax or rest during the Atlantic crossing.

But this configuration offers another advantage, sometimes less known: it directly contributes to the smoothness of the airport journey.

With a limited number of passengers to check in, welcome, and deplane, operations are simplified. The result: boarding and deplaning completed in an average of just 15 minutes, under normal operating conditions.

An asset especially appreciated by business travelers, whose schedules are often tight, but also by leisure travelers who want to make the most of their stay.

This speed is complemented by a more intimate onboard atmosphere and personalized service, made possible by the cabin size.

For tourism professionals, La Compagnie thus represents a particularly attractive alternative to traditional Business Class offers: a complete premium experience where comfort goes hand in hand with a genuine focus on efficiency.


Fast Track, lounges and seat selection: benefits included in all fares

La Compagnie’s experience begins well before boarding. The airline has made streamlining the airport journey one of the pillars of its offering, with premium services accessible from the earliest stages of travel.

Regardless of the fare booked, passengers benefit from lounge access, Fast Track at the relevant security checks, and seat selection. A set of services that contributes to a more pleasant experience, but also to a clearer understanding of the offer for travelers and tourism professionals.

Thanks to priority access to security checks, passengers can reach the gate more calmly, reducing waiting times when facilities are available.

They can then enjoy a premium lounge to relax, dine, or continue their professional activities before departure.

At Paris-Orly, La Compagnie notably offers access to the Primeclass lounge with its Promo and Smart fares, while the Flex fare grants access to the Extime lounge. In Nice, the LEVITY lounge welcomes travelers in an elegant setting before departure. In Newark, travelers find LOUNGE&CO, La Compagnie’s dedicated lounge, located in Terminal B, after security, with relaxation areas, a dining offering and facilities tailored to the needs of premium travelers.

The seat selection included in the fares also allows travelers to organize their trip according to their preferences, with no extra fees for selection.

For travel agents, this offering is a particularly relevant selling point: the essential services of a premium journey are included in the ticket price, with no need to add multiple options during booking.

A promise of simplicity that eases advice and helps travelers better appreciate the overall value of their ticket.


From boarding to arrival: every minute counts

With La Compagnie, speed does not stop at the security checkpoint.

The exclusively Business Class configuration of its aircraft significantly reduces the number of passengers to board compared with larger, long-haul aircraft.

Boarding takes place in an average of 15 minutes. Once on board, travelers reach their seat easily and enjoy the calm, intimate cabin ambience.

At destination, this advantage also shows during deplaning. With a maximum of 76 travelers, operations are swift, allowing passengers to exit the aircraft quickly.

At Paris-Orly, eligible passengers can also benefit from automated border control facilities, notably the PARAFE gates, to facilitate immigration when available.

In Newark, the small passenger count enables a rapid departure from the aircraft. Passengers then reach immigration controls without the delays caused by deplaning hundreds of people, with processing times naturally depending on crowding and applicable formalities.

These advantages fit into a holistic travel approach: to minimize waiting times and cumbersome steps as much as possible, so that travelers can devote more time to what matters.

Whether it is to attend a meeting, reunite with loved ones, or begin a stay in New York, this seamlessness represents a tangible benefit, particularly valued by premium customers.


Newark and Paris-Orly: convenient airports to optimize your journey

The choice of airports also contributes to La Compagnie’s value proposition.

In Paris, the airline operates from Paris-Orly, the Paris airport closest to the city center. Located about ten kilometers south of Paris, it benefits from enhanced accessibility thanks to Line 14 of the metro, which directly connects the airport to the Parisian network.

This is an advantage for Île-de-France travelers, business clients and tourists who want to reach their destination easily.

In New York, La Compagnie has chosen Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), located in New Jersey, west of Manhattan.

Less well known to some European travelers than JFK, Newark is nevertheless a particularly practical gateway to New York.

Its location offers convenient access to the western part of Manhattan, Midtown, and the city’s business districts. Depending on the final destination and traffic conditions, road trips are often shorter than from JFK.

The airport also benefits from rail connections to New York Penn Station in the heart of Manhattan, with travel times usually between 30 and 45 minutes depending on connections and service conditions.

For travelers, Newark thus represents a relevant alternative to JFK, especially when their stay focuses on Manhattan or New Jersey.

Coupled with the rapid deplaning enabled by the 76-passenger cabin, this airport choice reinforces the coherence of La Compagnie’s experience: a journey designed to be as simple and efficient as possible, from departure to arrival.

For tourism professionals, this is another argument to consider when advising on the most suitable arrival airport for their clients’ programs.
