OpenSkies – NYC-Amsterdam for $1,000 all-in (Business Class!)

This is a really fantastic deal when you consider the product OpenSkies offers and that it’s an all-in (includes taxes/fees, etc) deal. I’d go myself if I had the time…  Their press release follows.

OpenSkies Kicks Off 2009 With $1000 Round Trip Premium Fares to Amsterdam

NEW YORK – January 8, 2008 – OpenSkies is inviting travelers to kick off the new year amidst Van Goghs, Rembrandts and the bicycles and canals of Amsterdam by offering premium service from New York at an extraordinarily low price.

OPENSKIES HELPS TACKLE TOUGH ECONOMY WITH BARGAIN FARES FOR 2,000 LUCKY PASSENGERS

NEW YORK – October 6, 2008 – Reminding customers that transatlantic travel in today’s tight economy doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort for cost, OpenSkies today announced new low fares in its PREM+ cabin for the first 1,000 customers each on its New York – Paris and New York – Amsterdam routes.

“As frequent travelers ourselves, we can appreciate how important a comfortable seat with a generous recline, more legroom, and attentive cabin service can be on a long flight, and we believe a challenging economy doesn’t have to put those things out of reach,” said Dale Moss, managing director of OpenSkies. “With a maximum of just 40 guests in our PREM+ cabin, we offer a business class experience without the business class price tag. In many ways, the PREM+ cabin is tailor made for today’s economic environment.
