Air France La Premiere
For the second year in a row, Air France has been certified as a 5-star airline in the official 2024 APEX airline ratings, demonstrating its superior in-flight experience. This recognition is a result of the airline's supreme cabin comfort and catering, in-flight entertainment, connectivity services, and exceptional cabin service.
Currently, Air France is developing a completely redesigned La Première cabin, which will be unveiled in the winter of 2024. With three completely private living areas—a seat, a chaise longue, and a fully flat bed—the future cabin is expected to be the most spacious on the market. It will also be deployed on a greater number of aircrafts, enhancing accessibility to this prestigious experience.
Let's explore what Air France's La Première first class cabin has to offer right now.
Even in contrast to its peers, Air France's first class, La Première, is distinctive.
Air France marks La Première with a burst of vivid red, but the ultra-private cabin, with just four seats, is furnished in calming neutral hues. In addition to setting up comfy seats and luxurious hotel-class beds, specially trained flight crews also serve meals designed France’s top (often Michelin-starred) chefs. Little touches like bespoke Limoges porcelain and a crystal glass of still water set bedside at turndown set La Première in a class of its own.
The Première suite is custom-designed for Air France and won’t be found on any other airline. While many carriers have elected to fully enclose their suites with permanent walls or half walls, Air France has chosen to keep their suites open, although passenger desiring privacy can raise electronically-operated solid partitions, or completely enclose their suite with a floor-to-ceiling curtain reminiscent of earlier days of long-distance overnight air travel. The suite also has a 24-inch HD touch screen entertainment system with a separate touch screen tablet control.
The meals served in La Première are designed by a rotating cadre of France’s top Michelin-starred chefs—personalities like Joël Robuchon, Régis Marcon, and Guy Martin. Meals kick off with champagne, an amuse bouche, which can be served on the ground prior to takeoff, caviar, then soup, followed by main courses presented elegantly on Bernardaud Limoges porcelain with the stylized Air France flying seahorse logo prominently featured.
Every element of the La Première experience, from luxurious cabin furnishings to premium lounge access, embodies Air France's dedication to provide travelers with a practical yet sophisticated travel experience. As passengers disembark the plane, they take with them recollections of a remarkable journey characterized by elegance, coziness, and a down-to-earth attitude to luxury travel.
