BUSINESS CLASS!!!

This sounds like a pretty good deal---I found flights for mid-July at the advertised price of $475 each---comes out to a total of $1,045.

How much are business fares NYC-AMS typically?

I haven't priced that route, but we paid $1,800 for NYC-PAR last summer.

$1,045.92 round trip. These are business class seats with recline to 140°, 52-inch seat pitch and 12 inches leg room, not flat-bed sleeper seats. No lounge access.

52" seat pitch and only 12" of leg room????

Taxes and fees extra.

With 52" pitch it's considerably more than 12" of leg room. This is the successor to the old L'Avion group.

$1,045.92 round trip includes taxes and fees.

"12 inches of leg room for optimal comfort" is what BA say on their website: https://www.flyopenskies.com/os/flight_prem You can look at the photo for an idea - looks like a seat such as you'd find in first class on older domestic airlines. Or possibly economy plus on BA, with a little more leg room.

For the true Business Class experience you'll need to spring for what they're calling the Biz Bed: https://www.flyopenskies.com/os/flight_biz

That looks like the seats that Mme. and I had on L'Avion, which I think are the Openskies seats: http://tinyurl.com/m8zvxd (composition is not this FA's forte.)

I don't know where the 12" is measured, but I had room to spare when I stretched the footrest out to its full extent and reclined the seat to maximum.
