This is Air France's flagship product, which includes only four private suites on the plane, full personal service, a dedicated lounge experience and maximum comfort during the flight.
The class also offers free high-speed Internet service via Starlink technology, and the entire aircraft fleet is expected to be equipped by the end of the year. Air France is the first major European airline to offer such a service free of charge.
