INSIDE LOOK: Air France’s New La Premiere Private Suites

Air France has elevated its La Premiere experience with the launch of four private suites that will be introduced on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft beginning this spring.

Developed over three years, the four La Premiere Suites are each almost 3.5 square metres and feature five windows – an Air France exclusive. Each suite features a seat as well as a chaise lounge that converts to a fully flat bed, measuring two meters long and 75 centimeters wide.

Developed over three years, the suites feature an adaptable design; the seats adjust to different phases of the flight: takeoff, landing, dining, or relaxation mode. Overhead bins have been replaced with seat-level storage, giving a more open feeling to the area. Each suite is equipped with two 32-inch, 4K screens. Noise-canceling headphones are provided, and passengers can also connect their personal headphones via Bluetooth. The suite is equipped with 110V/220V electrical outlets, USB-A and USB-C ports, wireless charging stations, and dedicated holders for smartphones or tablets. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the journey.

Benjamin Smith, President of Air France and CEO of Air France-KLM Group said the new cabins are part of a larger overall strategy that includes a new private ground experience at Paris – Charles de Gaulle airport.

“The launch of our new La Première experience is a major step in our strategic roadmap”, said Benjamin Smith, President of Air France and CEO of Air France-KLM Group.

“We continue to invest in state-of-the-art products for our customers at every step of their journey, with the aim of positioning Air France at the highest level worldwide. Going forward, we will make this new product available on more aircraft to more destinations, a testament to our commitment to excellence”.

“This new experience truly is the highest expression of travel,” said Smith. “It continues to be elevated by our dedicated staff, who strive to make each journey an exceptional moment. Going forward, we will make this new product available on more aircraft to more destinations, a testament to our commitment to excellence”.

The first aircraft to feature the new La Première cabin, named Épernay, will take off in the spring and fly to New York-JFK. Other destinations, including Los Angeles, Singapore, and Tokyo-Haneda, will be added during the summer 2025 season.

La Première is currently available from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda and Washington DC.
