Air France is set to enhance its premium travel experience with the introduction of redesigned La Première suites. Starting in spring 2025, the airline will gradually add these exclusive suites to select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The new cabin will feature more spacious, private, and elegant accommodations, paired with personalized service and modern amenities.
The new La Première suites, developed over three years, offer an expanded personal space of nearly 3.5 square meters, which is 25% larger than the current cabin. Each suite features five windows, and an Air France-exclusive design, filling the space with natural light.
The suites are furnished with a seat and a chaise longue, both of which transform into a fully flat bed measuring two meters long and 75 centimeters wide. The seat provides exceptional comfort with plush ergonomic padding and an embossed leather headrest adorned with Air France’s historic winged seahorse emblem. Nearby, a console and table offer convenient space for dining or working.
For added privacy, the suites are enclosed by floor-to-ceiling curtains. In the center of the cabin, adjoining suites are separated by electric sliding partitions, allowing travel companions to share the space while maintaining privacy.
Refined Design with French Elegance
The La Première cabin embodies French sophistication with its elegant design and premium materials. The color scheme includes shades of gray, complemented by subtle red accents and champagne-colored metallic finishes. The suites feature full-grain leather, plush wool, and exclusive fabrics, creating a refined atmosphere. Dark carpeting adds a sense of spaciousness and fluidity to the cabin.
To maximize storage, overhead compartments have been removed. Instead, each suite includes a large floor-level drawer that accommodates two carry-on suitcases. Additional storage is provided by a smaller drawer beneath the chaise longue for footwear, along with a personal compartment with a backlit mirror near the seat. An individual wardrobe offers extra space for personal items.
Lighting plays an important role in creating a serene ambiance. The five windows in each suite are equipped with electric translucent and blackout shades, allowing guests to control the brightness. A lighting system with subtle ambient illumination accompanies each phase of the flight. The suite also includes two lamps adorned with the Air France winged seahorse, available as both wall-mounted and floor-standing fixtures.
Modern Technology for an Enhanced Experience
Air France has incorporated state-of-the-art technology into the new La Première suites. Each suite features two 32-inch 4K screens, providing access to more than 1,500 hours of entertainment. Noise-canceling headphones are provided, and passengers can also connect their own Bluetooth headphones.
The suite includes wireless charging stations, USB-A and USB-C ports, and 110V/220V electrical outlets for convenient device charging. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the flight, with Air France planning to introduce an upgraded ultra-high-speed connectivity service across its fleet.
Passengers can control the suite’s functions using a wireless touchscreen tablet. With a simple touch, they can adjust the seat, chaise longue, or bed, as well as the lighting and window shades. The tablet also offers easy navigation through the entertainment options.
The first Boeing 777-300ER with the new La Première cabin, named Épernay, will take off in spring 2025, flying to New York-JFK. Throughout the summer 2025 season, Air France will expand service to additional destinations, including Los Angeles, Singapore, and Tokyo-Haneda.
La Première is currently available on flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to several destinations, including Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda, and Washington, DC.
Personalized Service and Fine Dining
Passengers traveling in La Première will continue to receive personalized service from dedicated staff, both at the airport and onboard. Guests will have access to a private lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, where they can relax before their flight.
Onboard, passengers will enjoy a three-star gourmet dining experience, complemented by a selection of fine wines and champagnes. Every detail, from the service to the cuisine, is carefully curated to provide an exceptional journey.
By introducing the new La Première suites, Air France is setting a new standard for luxury air travel, offering guests more space, comfort, and privacy on long-haul flights.
