Fly the open skies.
Business travelers from New York have a new and better way to get
to Amsterdam. OpenSkies (FlyOpenSkies.com; 866-581-3596) is a British
Airways subsidiary, the first airline to take advantage of the 2008 Open
Skies agreement allowing European carriers to fly nonstop between the
United States and any point in Europe. The airline offers Biz Seat
(premium economy) and Biz Bed (180-degree flat beds) service from New
York's JFK Airport to Amsterdam (and Paris), at prices that start
at just a few hundred dollars more than the lowest economy fares on
KLM/Northwest. The pampering starts at the dedicated check-in area in
Terminal 7 and includes access to British Airways' first-class
security lane. Lounge access is provided only to Biz Bed travelers, but
all travelers can earn miles and tier points in BA's Executive
Club.
