Founded in 2014, La Compagnie (legal name ‘Dreamjet’) is a boutique French airline based at Orly Airport in Paris (ORY) that flies all-business class between Paris and Newark Liberty Airport (EWR) - near New York City.
As of 2018, the airline has two Boeing 757 aircrafts and services just one route (ORY>EWR and back).
• La Compagnie was founded by Frantz Yvelin, a French commercial pilot and CEO of Aigly Azure, France’s 2nd largest airline.
• They currently have 2 Airbus A321neo aircrafts ordered to replace their current fleet of Boeing 757s.
Despite only having one route, the airline does have a loyalty program called My Compagnie that allows you to earn points towards flights and services.
Unlike most other frequent flyer schemes, there are no tiers. Simply earn points based on your flight and fare (between 1-5 point per flights plus 2 points for every friend you invite to join). You can convert your points to round trip (40 points) or one way (20 points) tickets, and other services like oversize luggage (5 points) or change tickets (15 points).
La Compagnie also partners with XL Airways for round trip ticket flight starting at 15 points.
Due to the limited service that La Compagnie currently offers, there are no codesharing partnerships at this time.
La Compagnie only offers Business Class seats, with 74 seats in a 2-2 configuration.
The airline focuses on affordability over the luxuries of other airlines so there are less features to mention but most reviews mention that the savings in price makes up for the lack of indulgences.

Richard is very responsive. For more than two years he has been arranging my flights within Europe.
At this stage, I must mention that the work I am tasking him with is very difficult. Often I notify Richard briefly before I need a flight or a re-arrangement. My schedule is a mix of long term and short term arrangements, which sometimes are cancelled or postponed. Richard manages to get me on feasible flights and I always count on him. He is very reliable and I see him as a problem solver.
Even when the pressure is on, Richard remains an accountable and reliable solution provider. He always goes by the books and doesn’t take short-cuts. I like working with Richard, who hasn’t dropped the ball, no matter which problem I tasked him with.
He got me on time to Bilbao last week, although EW was messing around with my extra payment for the luggage, until the gate was closed.
Another time he got me back to Düsseldorf from Stockholm, after a couple of rearrangements due to a short term cancelling of a scheduled appointment.
Richard seems to use the whole runaway of tools and processes in order to get the job done. I am a happy client.
