First class NY to Paris in a couple of weeks, one way, is ~$6k "best overall", with $10k for "fastest" (checked a random flight on Skyscanner).


And how many people are booking that for that price? Is that enough to build a dedicated service on?


I wouldn't know, tho I am sure there's a McKinsey deck somewhere that calculated this :)

La Première will regularly go for $20k one way.


European airfares from the US can be really funky. I'm doing a trip in a couple months with a roundtrip for Heathrow and I'm actually taking the Eurostar back to London because returning directly from Paris was going to be so expensive. Open jaws in particular can be fairly OK or can be really expensive (as in my case).
