La Compagnie
A French all-business-class airline operating boutique transatlantic flights with fully flat seats, primarily linking Paris and Milan with New York.
About La Compagnie
La Compagnie is a privately owned French scheduled airline founded in 2013 under the legal operating company DreamJet. Commercial flights began in 2014, establishing an unusual identity built around aircraft configured entirely with business-class seating. The carrier combines elements of a boutique airline with a comparatively simplified fare and service model intended for the transatlantic premium market.
Paris Orly is La Compagnie's primary hub, and Newark Liberty International Airport is the central point of its United States network. Its core service connects Paris with the New York area, supplemented by flights between Milan Malpensa and Newark and a seasonal link from Nice to Newark. The compact network is designed around nonstop travel between major European markets and New York.
La Compagnie operates Airbus A321neo aircraft fitted exclusively with business-class seats. The narrow-body layout has fewer passengers than a conventional mixed-cabin aircraft, and every seat converts into a fully flat bed. Service generally includes lounge access where available, priority airport handling, meals, drinks, entertainment and onboard Wi-Fi, although inclusions and change conditions depend on the fare purchased.
The airline does not belong to Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, so passengers should not expect the extensive reciprocal benefits or connecting networks available through the major alliances. Its own loyalty programme, MyCompagnie, allows regular customers to earn points and redeem them for La Compagnie travel, but opportunities to earn or spend rewards across other airlines are comparatively limited.
La Compagnie's main strength is a consistent all-business-class experience that can offer good value compared with traditional carriers' premium cabins, particularly for travellers who want a flat bed without a large-airline environment. The trade-off is limited operational flexibility: with a small fleet and narrow route network, disruptions may produce fewer same-day alternatives than passengers would have with a larger airline.
Good to know
Flying with La Compagnie — what to expect
All-Business Cabin
Every passenger travels in business class, and all seats convert into fully flat beds. The narrow-body cabin is smaller and more intimate than the premium cabins on many large transatlantic aircraft.
Check Fare Conditions
Baggage, refund and change conditions can differ between fare types. Review the selected fare carefully before paying, especially if your plans may change.
Newark Arrivals
La Compagnie's New York flights use Newark Liberty International Airport rather than John F. Kennedy International Airport. Allow sufficient time for onward travel to Manhattan or another regional destination.
Limited Rebooking Options
The airline has a small fleet and does not operate a large connecting network. Travel insurance and flexible arrangements can be particularly useful if weather or an operational disruption affects a flight.
Seasonal Nice Service
The Nice–Newark route is seasonal rather than a consistent year-round service. Check the operating dates before planning a wider itinerary around it.
Airport Lounge Access
Eligible La Compagnie tickets generally include lounge access at served airports. Confirm the current lounge and its opening hours before departure because facilities and arrangements may change.
