Air France’s new long-haul cabins take to the skies

New York, Rio de Janeiro and Dakar are the first destinations available this winter with the flag carrier’s new cabin.

Air France has launched new cabins on Boeing 777-300 ER from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to New York-JFK.

The continued refurbishment of the 12 Boeing 777-300 ERs in Air France’s longhaul fleet will enable the airline to gradually offer more flights equipped with these new cabins to New York, Rio de Janeiro and Dakar during the winter season, and then to expand this network during the year.

Thanks to this new major step in Air France’s move upmarket, all of the company’s long-haul Business cabins will be equipped with seats that transform into full-flat beds by the end of 2023.

A new travel experience

In the business cabin (48 seats), the airline’s redesigned seat features even more enveloping curves and extra comfort. This seat’s design is based on the 3 “F”s – Full Flat, meaning that the seat transforms into a real bed almost two metres long, full access, providing all passengers direct access to the aisle, and full privacy.

A new sliding door allows passengers to create a totally private space, out of sight from the other passengers in the cabin. The seat also features a wide 17.3-inch 4K HighDefinition anti-glare screen with a noisereducing headset, a new Bluetooth connection allowing passengers to use their own headphones and several electric sockets.

In the Premium Economy cabin (48 seats), Air France is introducing its latest reclinertype seat model already available on its Airbus A350, while further improving its comfort. Each seat offers 96 cm legroom. A new noise-reducing audio headset is integrated into the seat and is easy to use at any time during the flight.

In the Economy cabin (273 seats), the seats also meet the highest standards of comfort on the market. Each seat has a wide 43 cm seat pan, a 119 degree recline and 79 cm of legroom.

In all cabins, customers have access to the company’s connectivity offer, Air France Connect. The Air France Connect portal offers three passes, including a completely free pass allowing customers to send and receive messages and access information about flight connections.
