The crews both ways were great, the flights punctual. I like returning to Dulles beating the United bank of flights at Customs, unless I think they were off in their own area. However, the only drawback is interlining luggage. If you could interline even on a limited basis with key cities you'd have more thru traffic. From PHX I flew in the day prior, and on the return was nervous about having to go to the main tkt counter for united to re-check my bag. Good luck on your route expansion! Rob Dear Dale,

Flew L'Avion 2x and Open Skies 2X Food at Newark/Lounge is awful. No hot food in the lounge and the only hot food choices outside the lounge are pathetic. Have you guys even looked at the offerings at the terminal? Silverjet used to grab your bags upon entering the lounge and checked you in at their computers in the lounge. Very COol and Classy. Is this too $$$ for you guys? Just asking. Food from Orly to EWR has not been great since OpenSkies took over. I would have been better off getting poached salmon salad from Bon Marche. AH well. Next time. ANd yes, I will fly you again and again so long as the price to Paris is right. Ok – Here’s the deal

When I use the Orly lounge, it really is just a pretty short stop-off. As per Aéroport de Paris standards, it isn't anywhere near a BA lounge, but it's enough for what most passengers need. Space would be my greatest concern, especially if the EC flight(s) became full. My latest flight out of Orly was (sadly) about half empty. When I flew out of EWR, I used the bar at the terminal rather than the space at the boarding gate, and that was adequate. Most important to me now would be free Wifi, wherever. Not necessarily free drinks. Also a comfortable seat. About lounges, the IAD experience is of course great. When I use the Orly lounge, it really is just a pretty short stop-off.

How come you stopped service and will you resume this in the near future? I used to fly Open Skies all the time for the very short period you had service from JFK to Amsterdam.
