New La Première suite and high-speed Wi-Fi

Last spring, Air France unveiled its all-new La Première suite. This exclusive cabin offers a unique and fully modular concept, featuring a seat and chaise longue that convert into a full-flat bed. The cabin spans five windows, an Air France exclusive. The new La Première suite is now available on select flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to New York-JFK, Singapore, and Los Angeles. It will also be offered on flights to Miami and Tokyo Haneda in December 2025 and March 2026 respectively.

At Los Angeles International Airport, Air France is introducing a new, dedicated ground service designed to make the La Première journey as seamless and exclusive as possible. La Première customers can now check-in at a dedicated La Première space located between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, where they are greeted with personalized assistance, with immediate bag drop, priority escort through TSA security, followed by a private car transfer across the airport on the tarmac. Passengers then enjoy a faster, smoother route to the dedicated La Première section of the new Air France lounge, located near the departure gate, setting the tone for an exceptional travel experience.

Another major milestone in Air France’s premiumization strategy, in September 2025 the airline began progressively rolling out its new high-speed Wi-Fi service across the entire fleet, including, for the first time, its regional aircraft. Around twenty medium- and long-haul aircraft are already equipped, allowing customers to enjoy a free, 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% of the fleet by the end of 2025, and the entire fleet by the end of 2026.

Short- and medium-haul

This winter, Air France will increase frequencies between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and major French cities including Toulouse (up to 11 daily flights), Marseille (up to 9 daily flights), and Nice (up to 8 daily flights), further strengthening regional connectivity with the airline’s medium- and long-haul network.

A new early-morning flight will be added between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and London-Heathrow, bringing the total to 7 daily flights. The Paris-Charles de Gaulle – Cork (Ireland) route will operate throughout the winter season with 4 weekly flights.
In Italy, an additional daily flight will be added on routes between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Milan-Linate, as well as Milan-Malpensa. The Verona route will operate for the entire winter season with 5 weekly flights.
