french bee airline

does anyone have experience with this airline?  they fly out of EWR to ORLY (paris)

they fly airbus A350 planes which are relatively new.  the prices are cheap.  Even the equivalent of premium economy is several thousand dollars less than united ( though it does not seem to be as premium in my online research)  

I dont want to book a "fly by night" carrier-that may be gone at a moments notice.

I am planning a trip in May

any thoughts on french bee?

thanks

I remember in the late 1970s flying Freddie Laker to London. That was an adventure, indeed. And cheap! Good times. 


I have never flown them but I do have friends who have and they were very happy.

45 year-old experiences on other airlines aside, I checked up on it on Reddit as it looks too good to be true. 

It's too good to be true. Every review I read was awful.

Here's an older article from Fortune about the deating.

Here's also a video to see what it's like flying French Bee from Orly to Reunion.
