I think people with a little extra spending money should splurge on Beond and La Compagnie's unique business model.
  • French airline La Compagnie and Maldives-based Beond fly Airbus planes with only business class.
  • The model is historically unsuccessful but the airlines are banking on high-demand niche markets.
  • I think both are splurge-worthy for people who want a bougie-but-affordable travel experience.

All-business-class carriers are among the rarest airline strategies in operation — and that's because they historically don't work.
