Business Class to New York for €1,382 with SkyTeam from Helsinki

AirFrance Boeing 777 300

SkyTeam members KLM, Delta, and Air France are selling business class tickets from Helsinki to New York for €1,382. You can fly to any of the 3 airports – JFK, Newark, or even La Guardia – though flights to La Guardia require a second layover, e.g. in Boston or Montreal. Either way, you’ll enjoy lounge access in all airports and 2x 32 kg of baggage allowance.

Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of 4–28 days. Once you’ve selected the dates that suit you best, you can be redirected to KLM’s or Delta’s booking site. Both sites let you book the flights with either airline at the exact same price. Where you book can have an effect on the number of miles that you’ll earn (more on that below). Also, we only receive a commission if you book on KLM’s website.

You really have a lot of options, both regarding the routing and the operating airlines. You can either fly via Amsterdam (with KLM and Delta) or Paris (Air France). And, as mentioned before, you can even add a second layover in North America and then fly to La Guardia airport.

If you’re travelling to North America, Delta is surely not a bad choice, especially if the route is operated with an Airbus plane. The seats in the Boeing 767 are good, but already quite old. The seats in the A330 and especially the A350, however, are on an extremely high level. All A330neo and A350 planes already have the Suite seats installed, which offer maximum privacy.

Let’s start with the negatives: Not only is Air France’s service usually below average (especially between meals), but their Business Light fare makes things even worse. Only 1 piece of luggage is included, and lounge access costs extra (except on flights to the US). On a positive note, almost all of their planes are equipped with a modern 1-2-1 business class by now.

By now, modern seats have also become the norm at KLM. Its business class is definitely not a bad choice, also thanks to the good service. Like many other airlines, the Boeing 787 always has the newest business class seats installed.

This deal sadly already expires on June 8, 2023. To get the cheapest price, you need to spend at least 6 days (or a Sunday) in the USA.

As you can see in our calendar above, these flights are available between November and March. For trips of over 28 days, feel free to check out Google Flights‘ calendar. You can book these flights directly on KLM and Delta‘s websites.

Mileage

If you’re a member of the 2 most popular SkyTeam frequent flyer programs (Delta SkyMiles or Flying Blue), the number of miles you’d earn for these flights depends on the flight number (i.e. if it begins with DL or KL/AF), which depends on where you book these flights – even though the booking class is usually always Z. Here’s an example of what you’d get, flying to JFK via Amsterdam r/t.

Information & Tips for USA

The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.

The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
