They’re back! CLT and PHL Oneworld $1,600s Biz fares to Spain and Amsterdam, UA and DL match

There is another aspect to the Business Class fare war with Charlotte and Philadelphia, AA hub airports, offering fares around $2,100-$2,200 round trip to Spain and Amsterdam. These routes are around $2,000 to $2,200 round trip with all three alliances participating. Oneworld fares can be reduced by $400 with AARP discount.

Amsterdam is only available from Philadelphia. Paris at $2,500 round trip is only available from Charlotte. Paris fare looks to be about $500 lower than other east coast airports for business class. Oneworld $400 discount with British Airways AARP booking makes Paris around $2,100 round trip from CLT.

These business class fares mark the first appearance of United and Star Alliance airlines in the Business Class fare war between Delta/Skyteam and American/British Airways/Oneworld. Delta still has business class fares to many airports in Europe for around $1,500 to $1,600.
