JetBlue, American eye business class flyers on New York-LA route

Business travelers flying business class between New York and Los Angeles never had it before! If you frequently travel on New York-Los Angeles route and mostly in premium cabins, then here is your chance to enjoy more perks and cheaper airfares. Major U.S. carriers are engaged in a turf war and trying to lure business class customers to fly with them. With multiple options before you now, get ready to give wings to your flight of fancy and have a wonderful experience traveling between the two largest U.S. cities.

More airlines have now started offering lie-flat beds on domestic flights. Currently, both United Airlines and Delta Air Lines are now offering international-style seats that collapse into flat beds to their customers on certain flights between New York and Los Angeles. But there are other carriers as well that are readying to pose a challenge and outdo these two carriers. American Airlines and JetBlue Airways have decided to enter the fray and make determined bid to corner premium market share on this route being presently shared between United Airlines and Delta Air Lines.

American Airlines and JetBlue Airways have said they will be launching their own fancy flying beds on domestic transcontinental routes next year. Virgin America, one of the major players in the transcontinental markets which has so far refrained from upgrading its flights to lie-flat beds, sees the currently rivalry as nothing but a rush after the “same pot of gold”. Upgrading flights with lie-flat beds has become the latest trend with big airlines seeking a major share in the premium travel segment.
