Air France’s ‘Premium Economy’ cabin has been renamed ‘Premium’, emphasising what it describes as the unique travel experience associated with this cabin. Designed so that customers can fully enjoy its superior standards of comfort, ‘Premium’ is available throughout the Air France fleet and long-haul network.
In the Premium cabin, the latest recliner seat is available on selected Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 aircraft. The seat back reclines up to 124 degrees and has been widened for extra comfort. There’s also 94 to 97cm of legroom and an adjustable footrest. The seat foam cushions have also been redesigned and the herringbone pattern fabric adds extra softness.
Thanks to the gradual renewal of its travel cabins, almost 80% of the Air France fleet will be equipped with recliner seats by the end of 2025.
During the flight, customers benefit from a comfort kit designed exclusively for this cabin, a noise-reducing audio headset, a blanket and a pillow for relaxation.
Each seat is equipped with a wide 13.3-inch 4K-quality Ultra HD anti-glare touchscreen with Bluetooth connection, allowing customers to enjoy over 1,500 hours of on-demand entertainment, with a particular focus on French productions. Customers can also connect their personal device directly to the screen and use it as a remote control or browse the inflight entertainment catalogue. The seat features USB ports, while a WiFi connection is also available.
Each customer receives a full ‘French-style’ meal service, comprising snacks, a starter, a choice of two hot dishes, cheese and dessert, served in eco-designed tableware with stainless steel cutlery.
Customers travelling in the ‘Premium’ cabin benefit from SkyPriority, a range of streamlined and priority services at the airport. With SkyPriority, customers can check-in and drop off their baggage at dedicated counters, and benefit from faster, privileged access through security checkpoints and passport control, as well as dedicated sales and transfer desks. They also enjoy priority at boarding or the option of boarding at their convenience and priority baggage delivery.
