Fare from New York to London: About $6,000 Among the amenities: 21 square feet of space per passenger is unheard of, but it’s a reality on Eos. Score one for the personal space lover. Plush perk: Arrive as late as 45 minutes before takeoff and the curbside escort will whisk you through security, and presumably, the paparazzi. Eos Airlines has room for 220 on its 757s, but it only allows 48 lucky souls aboard. Each passenger’s multifunctional seat is a joy to occupy across the Atlantic. This theory runs completely contrary to that of other airlines who stuff in passengers until the planes look like Tokyo subways with wings. But as we’re seeing in this feature, going against the grain has paid big dividends for carriers willing to take the risk. Eos only took to the skies in late 2005, but it seems to be making all the right moves. In fact, Eos guarantees it. The company recently announced a money-back guarantee of satisfaction, obviously willing to bet you’ll be among the vast majority of happy fliers who get outstanding room and service for an unbeatable price.
