Following my visit to the Paris Le Bourget International Air Show<\/a>, I decided to travel on Air France<\/a> between Paris Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) and Nice (NCE).<\/p>\n

This route is usually served by Airbus A320 single-aisle aircraft. However, I had noted that special flights<\/a> would take place on the occasion of the International Festival of Creativity – Cannes Lions<\/a> between June 19 and 23, 2023. Air France<\/a> had decided to position a Boeing 777-300 ER equipped with the airline’s new long-haul cabins in Nice to run special rotations between Nice (NCE) and New York (JFK).<\/p>\n

And of course, to get to Nice, these aircraft had to take one of the morning flights between Paris (CDG) and Nice (NCE) that I chose to take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Date<\/td>\nTheft<\/td>\nOrigin<\/td>\nDestination<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
June 23, 2023<\/td>\nAF4148<\/td>\nCDG<\/td>\n08:20<\/td>\n09:50<\/td>\nNCE<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

My ticket was booked in Economy class. With my Flying Blue<\/a> Platinum status, I could choose a seat in Premium Economy. And when I checked in, I was able to pay for a Business class upgrade for 79 euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Normally, I wouldn’t advise you to choose such an upgrade between Paris and Nice: on single-aisle aircraft, the seats are identical to Economy class (the difference being that the middle seat is blocked). But in this case, it was more than worth it to test Air France<\/a>‘s new Business Class!<\/p>\n

Just for fun, you can use Flying Blue Miles<\/a> to book the flight between Nice and New York (AF42) at a particularly attractive fare:<\/p>\n
