Land yourself a seat on the inaugural New York-Paris flight of the new Air France A380, all while helping a good cause! Air France is auctioning off tickets through their Ebay store for inaugural flights from New York to Paris, as well as Paris to New York. Bidding is available for round-trip or one-way tickets in either L'Espace Affaires Business Class or Voyageur Economy Class. Ticket holders are also entitled to "a special itinerary of cultural activities and shoping" as well as discounted rates from Air France hotel partners Marriot and Accor.
And, as we mentioned, Air France will donate all proceeds from their inaugural auction to three different children's charities, providing medical care and education to underprivileged children around the globe. You can read further on charity details here.
Flights begin departing from Paris on November 20, and from New York on the following day, November 21. All 380 seats on board are up for auction, which will take place October 1. More information available at AF380.com.
