With Air France, exclusive service to Paris for La Première passengers

Air France has introduced a new airport route at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, dedicated to La Première customers. A few days before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, of which Air France is an official partner, the airline has further enriched the La Première offer with the creation of a new check-in lobby and airport suites.

 

 

Upon arrival at the airport, each La Première guest is greeted by a dedicated concierge who immediately takes care of your luggage. Guests are then guided to a new, exclusive check-in lobby, the first step in the personalized journey through the airport. In this area, an Air France team handles all departure procedures, including check-in and baggage assistance. Featuring 15 seats and two private lounges, this lobby provides more privacy for guests. The check-in lobby is also available for La Première passengers arriving at the airport, offering the opportunity to relax after their flight, take advantage of the showers and retrieve their luggage.

This refined and quiet space. Designed by Air France experts in collaboration with the SGK Brandimage agency, the design combines individual spaces with a sense of overall spaciousness. Decorated in a white and gray color palette with red accents, the lobby offers abundant natural light and features furnishings by French designers such as Pierre Paulin and Christophe Pillet. Every detail, from the precise stitching to the luxurious upholstery, exudes an aura of high fashion. After completing formalities, each guest is escorted to the La Première lounge through an exclusive private passage with a dedicated security checkpoint.

 

 

Designed by architect Didier Lefort, Air France's La Première lounge covers an impressive 1,000 square meters. This retreat offers guests tranquil spaces, with a feeling of serenity and the promise of an extraordinary experience. Gastronomy naturally occupies a central place, with a menu and a selection of wines curated by Alain Ducasse and his esteemed team. At the center of the lounge is a luxurious spa and beauty treatments, run by Sisley, the French brand known for its plant-based cosmetology.

 

 

To ensure maximum privacy before travel or during stopovers, La Première passengers can now book exclusive suites of almost 45 square meters, located adjacent to the La Première lounge. Three suites are available, with the option to join two of them on request.

Upon arrival in these oases of tranquility, guests are greeted by a dedicated butler who guides them through the suite's options and conveniences. Each suite is equipped with a large living area, a bedroom with a double bed, a well-equipped bathroom and a comfortable outdoor patio. Guests can enjoy a special menu curated by Alain Ducasse and his team for the La Première lounge, as well as access to the renowned Sisley spa.

Decorated with fresh flowers, luxurious linens and haute couture finishes, these suites create a regal atmosphere within Air France's hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

Air France has carefully selected iconic examples of French design, including Charlotte Perriand's desk, Pierre Paulin's Ribbon chair and Philippe Starck's Privé sofa. In addition, each suite features a unique artwork by a French artist, adding a touch of cultural richness to the luxurious setting. This new private airport route and access to the La Première lounge are included in Air France's La Première service. Airport suites are offered as an option from 800 euros.

 

 

During the 2024-2025 winter season, Air France will unveil its completely renovated La Première cabin . This cabin, which will set a new standard in length, will offer passengers five windows and up to three modular and completely private living spaces, enhancing the journey with an exceptional experience: a seat, a chaise longue and a flat bed. With this innovative configuration, La Première will be extended to a greater number of aircraft than its current distribution.

Starting in summer 2024, Air France's  La Première suites will be available on select 777-300ERs, with destinations including Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, San Francisco, São Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda and Washington.
