Air France Conciergerie at Paris-Charles de Gaulle - Conclusion

Air France’s new concierge service is a welcome addition to the many services already offered by Air France, including SkyPriority, the Kids Solo program, Train + Air and its Flying Blue frequent flyer program.

While interesting, it does have a few limitations: it’s rather expensive, and transfers are only available to and from Paris. Of course, it is possible to use your Flying Blue Miles, but as we explain in our guide to the value of Miles, it is generally more cost-effective to opt for an Award or Promo Award ticket than for an in-flight option. It’s up to you!
