Air France is redefining luxury air travel with its latest innovation: the new La Première suite, set to debut in spring 2025. This cutting-edge cabin experience will first take flight on select Boeing 777-300ERs, offering an unparalleled blend of comfort, privacy, and elegance. With only four exclusive suites per aircraft, La Première promises a truly personalized and intimate journey for its most discerning passengers.
A Private Haven in the Sky
Each La Première suite spans nearly 3.5 square meters, a 25% increase in space compared to its predecessor. Designed for complete comfort, it features:
- Five portholes for abundant natural light—an exclusive feature of Air France.
- A luxurious seat and chaise longue that seamlessly convert into a 2-meter-long bed.
- Floor-to-ceiling curtains for ultimate privacy and a serene atmosphere.
- Plush wool and full-grain leather finishes, meticulously crafted in France by STELIA Aerospace.
The center suites offer the option to travel as a pair, thanks to a full-height electric partition that can be adjusted in a single movement—allowing passengers to share the experience while maintaining personal space.
Exceptional Comfort and Thoughtful Design
Air France has carefully designed La Première to adapt to every stage of the flight. The ergonomic leather seat adjusts perfectly to each passenger’s body shape, providing ultimate relaxation for takeoff, meals, or unwinding. Facing the seat, a chaise longue offers additional space to lounge, stretch out, or enjoy in-flight entertainment.
For those seeking rest, the suite transforms into a full bed, complete with a soft blanket and large cushions, ensuring a restful journey. Storage solutions include:
- A floor-mounted luggage compartment replacing overhead bins, creating an open, airy feel.
- A personal storage drawer for shoes and small essentials.
- A backlit mirror compartment for storing personal belongings.
- A private coat closet for added convenience.
The Pinnacle of Elegance
The La Première suite embodies French sophistication, with an elegant color palette of gray, red accents, and champagne metallic finishes. The plush dark carpet adds an element of lightness and modernity, while ambient lighting enhances the luxurious atmosphere.
Bespoke lighting solutions include:
- Adjustable window blinds (translucent or blackout options).
- Air France winged seahorse lamps for soft, refined illumination.
- Personalized mood lighting to accompany each phase of the flight.
High-Tech Luxury for a Seamless Journey
Air France seamlessly integrates technology and comfort to enhance the onboard experience. Each passenger enjoys:
- Two 32-inch 4K screens with over 1,500 hours of entertainment.
- Bluetooth connectivity for personal headphones.
- Noise-canceling Air France headphones for immersive audio.
- Multiple charging options: USB-A, USB-C, 110V/220V outlets, and wireless charging stations.
