With new La Première-Suite and high-speed Wi-Fi: Air France continues its ascent into the premium segment

Last spring, Air France introduced its new La Première Suite. The exclusive cabin offers a unique and fully modular concept with a seat and a chaise longue that transforms into a bed. The cabin extends over five windows and is exclusive to Air France. Currently, the La Première cabin is available on select flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to New York-JFK, Singapore, and Los Angeles. From December 2025 and March 2026, it will also be offered on flights to Miami and Tokyo-Haneda.

At Los Angeles International Airport, travelers can expect a new ground service that aims to make the journey with La Première as smooth and exclusive as possible. La Première customers now have the possibility to check in at special La Première areas between Terminals 1 and 2. Here, travelers receive personal assistance, immediate luggage check-in, preferred escort through TSA security controls, and subsequent transfer with a private vehicle across the airfield. Additionally, passengers enjoy the privilege of a quicker, smoother path to the special La Première area of the new Air France lounge near the departure gate, contributing to an exceptional travel experience.

Another milestone in Air France's upgrade is the gradual introduction of new high-speed Wi-Fi since September 2025 for the entire fleet, including regional aircraft for the first time. Already twenty medium and long-haul aircraft are equipped with it, allowing travelers to enjoy a complimentary, stable, fast, and secure connection during their flight. Air France is the first major European airline to offer this service onboard. The goal is to equip 30 percent of the fleet by the end of 2025 and the entire fleet by the end of 2026.

Short and medium-haul: up to 630 flights daily to over 90 destinations

This winter, Air France will increase flight frequencies between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and important French cities like Toulouse (up to 11 flights daily), Marseille (up to 9 flights daily), and Nice (up to 8 flights daily), thereby further strengthening the regional connection to the airline's medium- and long-haul network.

Between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and London-Heathrow, a new morning flight will be added, offering a total of seven flights daily. The route between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Cork (Ireland) will be operated with four flights per week throughout the winter season.

In Italy, an additional daily flight will be offered on the routes Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Milan-Linate as well as Milan-Malpensa. Verona will be served five times a week throughout the winter season.

Additionally, frequencies to Düsseldorf, Munich, and Zurich will be increased to six, five, and four flights per day.

In the south, Tangier (Morocco) will be connected to Paris-Charles de Gaulle throughout the winter with up to three flights per week. During the holiday season, Air France will offer the route Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Tenerife (Spain) four times a week.

Transavia France, the low-cost subsidiary of the Air France-KLM group, headquartered at Paris-Orly airport, will fly to 109 destinations in 29 countries on 227 routes this winter, thereby strengthening its position as the leading low-cost airline for flights from Paris airports.
