Adventures of Link: The Open Skies Welcome OpenSkies

Now that all the American carriers are jumping to provide across-the-pond service, British Airways has finally unveiled its secret Project Lauren. The new name for the new airline-within-an-airline? OpenSkies.

Besides the unfortunately clunky moniker, the outfit promises spacious service from Brussels and Paris to New York. With only 82 seats in three classes, it won't be a direct competitor to L'Avion nor will it be the same as Delta's new JFK-Paris service, which runs like a normal flight. Expect more details to emerge as we get closer to the wheels-up date later this year.
