The Cambridge Evening News says:
An all-business class luxury air service is to be launched between Stansted airport and the US.
New American carrier MAXjet Airways will begin services between the airport and New York on November 1.
As revealed in the News earlier this month, the airline will be operating one flight every day apart from Saturday and fares will start at £599 one way, excluding taxes.
All passengers will get business class seats and will have pre-takeoff drinks and multi-course meals.
They will also have a large amount of legroom as MAXjet are configuring their Boeing 767-200s, which normally seat more than 200 passengers, so they take just 102 customers.
The airline plans to increase its Stansted-New York frequency and to add additional trans-Atlantic routes.
Well this is not much use to most people but hopefully there will also be cattle class flights in future as well, and not just to New York. For now Stansted mainly remains a haven for cheap flights to Europe.
