Today is the first day that OpenSkies‘ new route between JFK and Amsterdam. As of 4PM this afternoon, the inaugural flight from Amsterdam should have landed, and the return flight departs in just a few hours.
In light of their new route (and perhaps a little bit because of the economy), the airline has also announced that they’re extending their fare sale for Prem + seats to an additional 1,000 customers.
It’s probably a smart move on their part. With the economy in the toilet I have very little doubt that demand for premium air service across the pond has gone south as well. By extending their fare sale, they now can get a little more face time on their product and cajole a few wafflers to purchase a ticket.
Anyway, if you’re still curious about the product that OpenSkies has tailored, you can check out Gadling’s review of the airline here, and even enter to win a few premium tickets on the airline. We’re drawing a winner this friday (two days away) Good luck!
