Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered at Flat Iron Plaza for the chance to fly off to Paris on Air France flight 009 in the new Premium Economy Class.

The catch?

Each person had to come with their travel companion, luggage and passport in hand, ready to go immediately.

They were also offered a 3 night stay at the Pullman Montparnasse courtesy of Accor Hotels, lunch at the Bistro Allard and passes to the Louvre courtesy of the American Friends of the Louvre.
