Air France continues the gradual rollout of its new La Première class, considered one of the most luxurious in the world. The class features a seat that transforms into a full flat bed, a personal sofa, and a cabin spread over five windows, for a unique experience provided by the airline. It is already available on flights to Paris-New York, Singapore, and Los Angeles, and will soon launch for Miami and Tokyo (Haneda).
A new lounge and dedicated ground service for La Première passengers have opened at Los Angeles Airport, including personal check-in, fast-track security, and private runway transfer to the aircraft.
Additionally, today (October 21), the company opened a new business lounge at Chicago O'Hare Airport with a runway view, dishes inspired by beloved French cuisine, and advanced digital services.
