I must confess that writing this deal has become one of the Valentine’s Day traditions I look forward to. Paris holds a special place in my heart, as I have been lucky enough to visit with different groups of female friends since college.

Though we’ve been conditioned to think of Paris as the ultimate trip for romantic getaways with a partner, my ideal companions to the City of Light (and love) continue to be my BFFs.

Whether your most romantic relationships this year are with a significant other, friends or yourself, La Compagnie is back with its annual Valentine’s sale with two-for-one flights from New York to France and Italy.

These business-class flights to Paris and Milan start at $3,800, with flights to Nice, France, from $4,800 for two people round trip for travel through 2024.

Deal basics

Airline: La Compagnie
Routes: From New York to Milan, Nice and Paris
How to book: Directly with the airline
Travel dates: Feb. 1 to Dec. 31, 2024; some blackout dates apply and are subject to availability and not available on all dates
Book by: Feb. 14

You can make changes to your ticket without paying a fee, but the least-expensive fare classes are nonrefundable. All taxes and carrier-imposed fees are included in the aforementioned fare price, and each fare includes two checked bags per passenger.

Sample flights

The following flights were priced as listed at the time of publication. We cannot guarantee the below round-trip flights will be available when you book:

• New York’s Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) or Paris-Orly Airport (ORY) from $3,800 round trip, with two tickets included
• EWR to Nice Cote d’Azur Airport (NCE) for $4,800 round trip, with two tickets included

If you’re unfamiliar, this all-business class airline (the only one in the world) operates regular flights from Newark to Paris and Milan, with seasonal flights to Nice in the spring resuming April 20.

On board, travelers can expect 76 fully flat seats in a 2-2 configuration, free Wi-Fi, amenity kits with Caudalie skincare products (a personal favorite) and seasonally curated menus by chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants, organic wines and Champagne. Also, the French airline recently announced a partnership with alcohol-free bubbly French Bloom.

Bottom line

You must book this deal by Feb. 14. However, it’s valid for travel throughout the year.
