Paris is no longer the only French airport to go to New York

And three. At Nice Côte d’Azur airport on Saturday morning, a United company Boeing 767 landed for the first time after a flight from New York. A major project, which was to be carried out as early as 2020 – before the pandemic extinguished the airline market.

For your next vacation, be aware that connections to New York are no longer exclusive to Paris airports. The Nice terminals now have three airlines to go to the city on the American east coast, and thus access its connections.

If United made its very first flight, Delta Air Lines took them over at the end of March. Both have the same aircraft model, but United has chosen to play the premium card. More seats are reserved for Business Class and First Class.

Delta Airlines is the most competitive with more than 180 seats in Business class against fifty on the United aircraft. For its part, the French company soberly called “La Compagnie” has an Airbus A321 entirely intended for Business class.

84 destinations from Nice

Delta Airlines is the first of the three to have decided to land its planes in Nice in addition to the Paris airports. But La Compagnie is the one that returned the earliest, when certain health restrictions were lifted in early July 2021. It must be believed that with its 76 passengers on board on its very first flight at that time, the plane was complete.

For approximately 8 hours of vol between the two cities, round-trip plane tickets start at around 450 euros. “Arriving in New York, the flight is immediately connected to more than 85 destinations on the American continent, including the most popular such as Chicago, Las Vegas, Orlando, Los Angeles…”said the French manager of United Airlines in an exchange with Nice Matin.

Nice is an international airport with a current influence of 1080 departures per week, for a total of 84 airports served in 37 countries. This choice, for American companies, is quite strategic when Nice is located a few tens of kilometers from cities like Monaco.
