After expanding the service this summer, Air France continues to offer attractive pricing on its premium economy seats. This fall and winter, fares for premium economy between New York and Paris start as low as $1,253 round-trip including all taxes and fees. Why pay that when regular coach is about 40 percent cheaper? The upgrade gets you steep seat reclines that makes sleeping possible, 40 inches of seat pitch, free noise-canceling headphones, and priority check-in and baggage delivery.
The special reaches beyond New York to Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, and Washington, D.C. The lowest fares are available October 29 through December 13 and December 25 through March 31, 2011. From now through October 28 and December 14-24, flights are a few hundred dollars more, depending on your gateway. And while the premium economy seats are only available on Air France's long-haul flights, you can of course connect to other European destinations upon touchdown in Paris.
As is usually the case with airfare sales, the booking window is slim. You'll need to reserve these seats by September 9.
