Air France has redesigned its La Première first-class experience onboard its flights. The refreshed La Première suite consists of a seat and a chaise longue that transform into a full bed. The seat adjusts to different phases of the flight: takeoff, landing, dining or relaxation mode. A nearby console and table provide convenient space for working or dining.
Opposite the seat, the chaise longue offers a place to stretch out while remaining seated, ideal for reading or watching a movie. For maximum comfort while sleeping, it extends seamlessly into a fully flat bed measuring over six feet long and nearly two and a half feet wide. Each suite offers a private space totaling more than 37 square feet, providing 25 percent more space compared to the current cabin.
Each suite is enclosed by a thick, floor-to-ceiling curtain for complete privacy. The side suites have five windows. Adjacent suites in the center of the cabin allow for shared travel while maintaining privacy thanks to a full-height, electric sliding partition that can be activated at the touch of a button.
Overhead compartments have now been replaced with floor-level storage. A large sliding drawer accommodates up to two carry-on suitcases, while a second drawer under the chaise longue provides space for footwear. A personal compartment with a backlit mirror is available near the seat for personal belongings, along with an individual wardrobe.
Onboard, each guest enjoys two 32-inch 4K screens, offering over 1,500 hours of entertainment accessible from the seat, chaise longue or bed. Noise-canceling headphones are provided, as well, or passengers can connect their personal headphones via Bluetooth. The suite is equipped with 110V/220V electrical outlets, USB-A and USB-C ports, wireless charging stations and dedicated holders for smartphones or tablets, plus a blanket and large cushions. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the journey. Soon, Air France will introduce a new ultra-high-speed connectivity service across its fleet, replacing the current offering. The rollout of this new Wi-Fi service across the entire Air France fleet will begin in the summer 2025 season. The service will be entirely free for Flying Blue and La Première customers.
In addition, the suite can be controlled via a wireless touchscreen tablet. Passengers can adjust the inclination of their seat, chaise longue or bed, as well as the lighting and window shades. The tablet also allows easy navigation through all entertainment options.
Four suites will be introduced on a selection of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The first aircraft to feature the new La Première cabin will take off in spring 2025 and fly to New York's JFK International Airport. Other destinations, including Los Angeles, Singapore and Tokyo-Haneda will be added during the summer 2025 season.
La Première is currently available from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda and Washington, D.C.
