"Level has come a long way in just two yearsIt's a great way to get the most out of your trip," says Vincent Hodder, CEO of the IAG Group's long-haul low-cost airline, whose offer is geared towards thirty-somethings who have been flying since their first trips. Since its first flight in June 2017 in BarcelonaLevel has opened a base in Paris one year laterfrom where it offers flights to Pointe-à-Pitre and Fort-de-France in the French West Indies, as well as to New York Newark and Montreal in the summer. At the same time, Level has also set up operations in Vienna and Amsterdam, two bases from which the airline has positioned itself in the short-haul low-cost market, notably with two flights a day between Vienna and Paris CDG.
While Level has two Airbus aircraft at Paris Orly, a third A330-200 will be joining its fleet in September, enabling it to increase both its capacity and its range of services. the frequency of existing flights and launch new routes. As a result, from the winter 2019-2020 season, the Paris-Fort-de-France route will be offered six days a week, compared with three at present, while the route to Pointe-à-Pitre will be extended from two to three days a week. on a daily basiscompared with the current four flights. The aircraft serving Guadeloupe has 314 seats, including 293 in Economy and 21 in Premium. In addition to a wider seat with a higher angle of inclination, this class includes a hold baggage item and a hot meal in its price, while additional services are charged for in Economy, in line with the low-cost model.
At the same time, from 30 October Level will be offering a new route to Las Vegas and will be the only one to offer a direct flight to the casino capital of the world. "Our strategy focuses on two areas: markets that are already well-developed but still attractive, and markets that are under-served, such as Las Vegas.says Vincent Hodder. If we look at the figures, there are twice as many French tourists here as there are arrivals from France on connecting flights."A gap that justifies the launch of a direct flight, especially since Las Vegas is also a leading destination for conferencesLevel is already planning an additional special flight for the CES show in January 2020. Apart from this, Level will be offering two flights a week on a permanent basis, on Wednesdays and Sundays. The flight from Paris Orly departs at 2.15pm and arrives in Las Vegas at 5pm. The flight from Las Vegas departs at 7pm and arrives in Paris at 2.45pm the following day.
