Since unveiling its new cabins, Air France has been gradually rolling them out across the core of its long-haul fleet to bring customers the latest in travel comfort. The new Economy cabin has been redesigned to offer even greater comfort and to ensure your well-being during your trip.

Within a comfortable and elegant cabin, the new seat is upholstered in navy blue with red embroidery and offers ample legroom. You can even incline the headrest as desired and take advantage of specially-designed pillows for getting some shuteye on night flights. Plug sockets are available in row as and a USB port under your screen means you can stay connected at all times.

Food and Beverage: Champagne for all! Start your trip in style with a glass of this emblematic French beverage; treat yourself to a glass of wine selected by renowned sommelier Paolo Basso, or enjoy a cocktail served with a savoury treat. Choose between two delicious main courses and round-off your meal with a decadent dessert. You can top it all off with a coffee, tea or a digestive liqueur at the end of your meal.

Economy short/medium haul

Air France has also unveiled its new medium-haul cabin, featuring all-new leather seats. The seat is ideal for work, rest or dining. It also reclines within a fixed area and will gradually be made available on all of the airline’s Airbus 319 and 320 aircrafts.

Food and Beverage: An enhanced selection of beverages (cold or hot, with or without alcohol) is served at no extra cost. On short flights, we serve a snack adapted to the time of day: croissant, sweet or savoury biscuits, sandwich, or a small dessert. On longer flights, we offer a meal: breakfast in the morning or a cold meal served with a hot item for the rest of the day.
