- seanmcdirmid 9y agoSo about the same as business class?
- rdl 9y agoAt $2500 this will own the business class market, assuming 1x1 seating, even if they were just economy seats with business class service. At minimum a corp traveler is going to cost $1-2k/day to put in London or NYC if based in the other city (and probably more, in forgone productivity), so this might shave one or two days off a short trip.
- dx034 9y agoProbably closer to twice as much. Business class flights for returns within a few days are usually around $4000-6000. This will again allow same-day returns and would probably go for closer to $8k-$10k return. Capacity will be extremely limited, there are >1000 business class seats/day just out of Heathrow to JFK.
