What happened
La Compagnie will start all-business-class nonstops between Newark and Düsseldorf on April 21, 2027, on a newly delivered Airbus A321LR. Up to 5 flights a week are planned on the airline's fourth Newark route. Block times are 7hr20min eastbound and 8hr45min westbound over 3,762 miles.
B0401 departs Newark at 9:00 p.m. and lands in Düsseldorf at 10:20 a.m. the following morning. B0400 leaves Düsseldorf at noon and reaches Newark at 2:45 p.m. Düsseldorf has had no U.S. flights since Lufthansa ended DUS-EWR and DUS-ORD in 2015. The A321LR is mapped for 68 business class seats compared with 76 on current A321neos, and no new cabin product has been announced. An A321XLR is still expected in 2028.
Booking is open, with round-trips recently seen near $4,000. Buy only if that fare is already acceptable.
