Editor’s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.
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

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.

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.
