Air France has officially launched its highly anticipated first class experience, ‘La Première’, on the prestigious route from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to New York John F. Kennedy (JFK). This innovative service debuted on April 8, 2025, aboard the Boeing 777-300ER, affectionately named ‘Épernay’ after the renowned champagne town in France. With this new addition, Air France aims to redefine luxury air travel, making it a must-experience for discerning travelers.

- Spacious Design: Each suite boasts exclusive access to up to five windows, ensuring breathtaking views throughout the flight.

Culinary Delights by Renowned Chefs
Passengers traveling in La Première will indulge in a gourmet dining experience crafted by Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud. His exquisite dishes will be served to both La Première and Business Class passengers on Air France’s flights to the US starting in July 2025, elevating in-flight dining to new heights.
Gradual Rollout of La Première
The rollout of La Première will proceed progressively across Air France’s fleet of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with each plane featuring four luxurious suites. Initially, this exclusive service will be available on just one of the seven daily nonstop flights between Paris and New York. The flight departs Paris-CDG at 10:30 AM local time, with a slight adjustment to 1:30 PM on Wednesdays.
By the summer of 2025, La Première will expand its availability to additional destinations, including Los Angeles, Singapore, and Tokyo-Haneda. The full rollout is expected to be completed by early 2026, making La Première accessible on all Air France routes currently offering first class service.
