Now, that’s fly…

Okay, I know our blog is supposed to showcase how to travel affordably and see the world without breaking the bank. But, a Diva can dream occasionally, right? I dream that some day my eight hour trek across the Atlantic won’t be cramped in the middle seat between Ms. Talk-a-lot and Mr. Snore-too-loud. SOME DAY I’ll have my very own ’section’ and be able to change my seat into a bed…an office… a movie theater…a lounge…whatever I want! Some day, I tell ya.

Although I have dreams of traveling with the first class treatment in the future, it’s a reality today for passengers who travel on Eos Airlines. In operation since 2005, Eos Airlines provides flights between New York’s JFK Airport and London’s Stansted Airport. With only 48 seats on the aircraft and each seat having 21 sq. ft of personal space, Eos boasts that it has 40% more room than traditional business class cabins. This personal space does come with a price tag, however. Ranging from $2950 for weekend travel to $6500 for last minute bookings, Eos Airlines isn’t for the average Joe (or Joanna), but its fares are considered to be quite reasonable for ‘Joe, CEO’.

More travelers will have the opportunity to fly with Eos as the airline is scheduled to add new routes in places such as Newark (this Spring) and Paris (this Fall). Also, Eos is offering a promotional package to those who book a flight by April 11, 2008. If you purchase a ticket with a fare of $4000 or more, you can receive your choice of an iPod Classic or frequent flyer points. Purchasing a ticket with a fare less than $4000 will give you an iPod nano or points. Question though….if you’re dishing out $4K for a plane ticket, are you really too strapped to buy an iPod in the first place?? I mean, really. But it’s nice for them to offer, I guess.






A roundtrip ticket on Eos Airlines may not fit this JetSet Diva’s budget right now, but it’s our duty to share cool travel stories with our reading community. If anyone has flown with Eos or ever gets the chance to…tell us about your experience. For now, I’ll just keep on dreamin’ and say, “That’s fly”…
