Air France: Unveiling of the New La Première Experience

Air France takes luxury travel a step further with the unveiling of its new La Première cabin, redefining the standards of premium travel. This revolution in the air will be available from spring 2025, marking a major turning point for privileged travelers.

Air France La Première – Unprecedented Privacy

The new La Première suite offers almost 3.5 square meters of private space, 25% more than the previous version. Each suite has a unique feature on the market: 5 portholes, creating an atmosphere bathed in natural light.

There will still be four La Première suites per unit, set up in a 1-2-1 configuration.

Air France La Première – Cutting-Edge Technological Innovations

The suite features:

Two 32-inch 4K screens
Intuitive control via touchpad
Free high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity
Universal electrical outlets and wireless charging
The ability to connect your own Bluetooth headphones

Air France La Première – Absolute Comfort

The modular concept includes:

An adjustable ergonomic chair
A convertible daybed
A 2-metre-long bed
Optimized storage space

For a grander effect and an uncluttered ceiling, the luggage racks have been moved to the floor, allowing two pieces of carry-on luggage to be stored in a sliding drawer. Each suite has a thick floor-to-ceiling curtain for complete privacy.

Also included in the La Première experience: a Jacquemus brand pajama and a kit with Sisley products.

Air France La Première – The Gastronomic Experience

Passengers enjoy three-star gourmet service, accompanied by an exclusive selection of wines and champagnes. Personalized service remains a distinctive signature of this exclusive cabin.

Air France La Première – First Flights

The new cabin will initially be available on selected Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to:

New York-JFK
Los Angeles
Singapore
Tokyo-Haneda

The first route offering the new La Première suite will be between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and New York-JFK in spring 2025, with these other destinations to follow in summer 2025.

As a reminder, the previous La Première cabin is currently available for these destinations departing from Paris-Charles De Gaulle: Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda and Washington DC.

Air France La Première – Lounge and Check-In

As is already the case, the Air France La Première experience begins long before boarding, as soon as you arrive at the airport: check-in, lounge Air France La Première, private transfer, and much more. To find out more, read Jean-Maximilien’s detailed review of his La Première experience.
