I would definitely accept more smoked salmon from Norway in the San Francisco Bay area, especially since my local Scandinavian market closed due to poor market conditions (covid).
I would describe French Blue as primarily a ‘Holiday’ airline as the core of its routes (and passengers) are to French colony holiday destinations.
Its foray into the US other than Miami is perhaps a step too far -time will tell.
Would you consider French Bee an LCC? They do fly year-round from Paris-Orly to San Francisco and on to Papeete on their Airbus A350′ s offering a lot of seats. I would surmise they are not losing money.
On its website French Bee calls itself “low cost et long courrier francaise.”
Seating is dense. There’s an extra seat across in both premium and economy.
Interesting to see the recent announcement for LGW outbounds of increase for leisure heavy services (FLL/MCO) for W23/24, and yet a reduction to BOS/IAD… probably indicative of the direction of the business model…
