Negotiated contract fares on Air France, booked by a dedicated advisor — typical savings 30-60% off the airline's published Business Class price.
Air France runs a long-haul network out of Paris–Charles de Gaulle (CDG) that reaches almost every premium-leisure destination worth flying to in Business Class. The current Business Class hard product — a lie-flat 1-2-1 layout with full privacy seat shells — is among the most consistent in the industry, and is being progressively replaced by an even more private new-generation suite.
Above Business sits La Première — Air France’s legacy First Class — a small cabin available on select Boeing 777-300ER routes. It remains one of the most romantic First Class experiences in the air, with the dedicated La Première lounge at CDG offering caviar service and limousine transfers across the airport.

What you actually get when you fly Air France Business — and how the cabin product changes by aircraft.
Air France Business Class is a lie-flat 1-2-1 seat with privacy panels, generous storage, and Sofitel MyBed bedding. On long-haul flights, dining is by Michelin-starred chefs in rotation (Régis Marcon, Anne-Sophie Pic), with a Champagne by Castelnau or comparable house pour.
On newest A350-900 and select 777-300ER aircraft, Air France introduced a new-generation Business Class with a fully enclosed seat, sliding privacy door, and larger HD entertainment screen. The rollout is ongoing — confirm the equipment when you quote.
La Première is Air France’s First Class, available on a small selection of 777-300ER aircraft. Four open suites — separated by curtains rather than doors — with a separate bed configuration, a dedicated chef-led menu, and the standout La Première lounge at CDG. La Première is rare, expensive, and unmistakably Parisian.
Air France’s North America gateway list is one of the deepest of any European carrier. Through SkyTeam joint venture with Delta, Virgin Atlantic, and KLM, the bookable network expands well beyond Air France-marketed flying.

Air France runs frequent promotional Business Class fares to Paris — particularly mid-week. La Première is a special case and almost never on sale.
Sunday/Monday return JFK–CDG itineraries often price 20–30% below Friday return.
New-generation Business Class equipment is currently most reliable on JFK–CDG and LAX–CDG.
La Première lounge access at CDG alone justifies the First Class premium for many travelers.
Flying Blue Promo Rewards open up SkyTeam Business at 25–50% mileage discounts each month.
Connecting onward from CDG, the Air France Salon Business spans multiple terminals — don’t leave airside.
Versus Lufthansa Business, Air France has a stronger soft product (food, bedding) and more consistent hard product on the same aircraft type. Versus British Airways Club Suite, Air France’s new-generation Business is competitive on hard product and ahead on dining.
Yes. Business Class passengers access the Salon Business at CDG and SkyTeam partner lounges on most itineraries. La Première has its own dedicated lounge.
It is rolling out on select A350-900 and refit 777-300ER aircraft. We confirm equipment when quoting and can advise on which dates have a higher likelihood.
La Première runs on a limited selection of 777-300ER aircraft, primarily on JFK–CDG, LAX–CDG, and Tokyo routes. Availability is fluid — call us to confirm specific dates.
Award space in La Première is rare but does open occasionally. We watch availability and can put you on alert for specific dates.
KLM uses a different (older but still competitive) reverse herringbone seat. Air France new-generation Business has a more modern hard product; KLM tends to have slightly faster on-the-ground operations at AMS.
We hold contract, consolidator, and private fare agreements with 60+ airline partners. These are deeply discounted fare buckets the airline doesn’t publish on its public booking site, available only through high-volume agencies. Combined with flexible-date searches and multi-airline routings, this typically lets us quote 30–60% below the published Business Class fare.
Yes. Tickets are issued under standard fare classes, so you accrue miles in the airline’s own program (or a partner program) at the rates published for the fare class. Some deeply discounted contract fares earn at a reduced percentage; we confirm the earning rate at quote time so there are no surprises.
Our advisors handle rebooking on your behalf. Our 24/7 line is the fastest path during a disruption — call us first, before the airline. We have direct phone access to most partner airlines’ trade support desks, which are typically faster than the airline’s consumer line.
Almost always identical to the equivalent retail Business Class fare — typically two checked bags at 32 kg each, plus carry-on, plus personal item. Specific allowances depend on the airline and route. We confirm baggage rules in writing on every quote.
Yes. After ticketing, you (or your advisor) can select seats through the airline’s standard seat-map system. Some Business Class seats — especially window seats on certain reverse-herringbone aircraft — are released in waves; if your preferred seat isn’t open immediately, we monitor and grab it as soon as it appears.
