Photo: Air France Today (December 15, 2025), Air France's La Première luxury class will arrive in Israel for the first time in history via a Paris-Tel Aviv flight on a Boeing 777-300ER. This is a historic launch for Israeli aviation, as European and Israeli airlines do not operate first class and currently offer only a European business class, in which seats do not recline into full beds.
Air France's La Première is the airline's flagship class, offering private suites, maximum privacy, and the highest level of ground and air service, positioning this flight as French luxury in the sky. Tomorrow, Tel Aviv passengers will have the opportunity to experience La Première for the first time, available on selected daily flights.
Destinations and services:

At the same time, the company is expanding service to additional major destinations in the US, including Atlanta, Boston, and Houston, starting in 2026, with the aim of offering the most luxurious premium experience even in America's largest ports.
The premium service currently has no real competitor on direct flights from Europe to Israel.
