Air France's New La Première Suites Take to the Skies

On April 8, 2025, flight AF004 from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to New York-JFK marked the very first flight operated by an aircraft equipped with the airline's new La Première suites. This exceptional new product is now available on one of Air France's seven daily flights between the two cities.

Named for the French city of Epernay, the Boeing 777-300ER used on this flight now features the airline's highest standards of comfort in all travel cabins. During the 2025 summer season, this aircraft will operate a daily service to New York-JFK. On board, it is equipped with 4 new La Première suites, as well as 60 seats in Business, 44 in Premium and 204 latest-generation Economy seats.

In the coming weeks, Air France will operate a second daily frequency between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and New York-JFK, using another Boeing 777-300ER aircraft equipped with these brand-new travel cabins.

Gradually rolled out on a selection of Boeing 777-300ERs, the new La Première cabin will be made available on flights to Los Angeles, Singapore and Tokyo-Haneda during the 2025 summer season. Beginning in 2026, this product will be available to all La Première destinations. In the future, Air France plans to deploy this new product on a greater number of aircraft and to more destinations.

La Première, the highest expression of travel 

Air France's new La Première suite features five windows and a one-of-a-kind concept. Entirely modular, it consists of a seat and a chaise longue that converts into a true bed. The seat can be adapted to every moment of the flight, during take-off, landing, mealtime or simply to relax. Featuring soft ergonomic seat foam, it adjusts each passenger’s body for maximum comfort.

In front of the seat, a chaise longue allows passengers to rest in their preferred position and stretch their legs while sitting down to read or watch a film. And for a perfect night's sleep, the chaise longue simply unfolds to become a true bed measuring two meters in length. The four suites available on board each feature a thick curtain for total privacy from floor to ceiling, providing a cozy atmosphere.

Each guest has access to two 32-inch 4K anti-glare screens, allowing them to enjoy over 1,500 hours of entertainment in optimum conditions from their seat, chaise longue or bed. Passengers are also provided with a set of noise-reducing headphones, as well as the option to pair their own headphones or earphones to the screens via Bluetooth.

Each suite is also equipped with 110V/220V, USB A and USB C power sockets, as well as induction charging slots and a smartphone or tablet holder, so guests can use their own personal devices.

The suite is intuitively controlled from a wireless touchscreen tablet. By touching the tablet screen, guests can adjust the seat recline, chaise longue or bed, as well as the various lighting options and window blinds. Navigating all the cabin’s functionalities is also made easy by using the two screens available.

With a vast airport lounge, a private suite on board, fine dining created by Michelin-starred chefs, a carefully selected wine and champagne list and a peaceful night’s sleep at 35,000 feet, every moment of the La Première travel experience has been carefully curated to make for an unforgettable trip.
