On July 23, 2024, Air France introduced a new, exceptional airport journey for its La Première passengers at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. This enhancement comes just before the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, showcasing the airline's commitment to providing a superior travel experience.

The new La Première experience begins with a dedicated concierge who assists with luggage and guides passengers to an exclusive check-in lobby. This private area, designed with French elegance by SGK Brandimage agency, offers 15 seats and two private lounges. It provides a tranquil haven with shower facilities and baggage retrieval for both departing and arriving La Première guests.

After check-in, guests are escorted through a private passage with a dedicated security checkpoint to the La Première lounge. Designed by architect Didier Lefort, this 1,000 square meter lounge offers serene retreats, gourmet dining by Alain Ducasse, and luxurious spa services by Sisley.

La Première passengers can also reserve new suites adjacent to the lounge. These 45 square meter suites feature a living area, bedroom, bathroom, and outdoor patio, with a dedicated butler and curated amenities, including a special menu by Alain Ducasse and access to the Sisley spa. Each suite is adorned with luxurious finishes and iconic French design pieces.

This exclusive airport journey is included with La Première service, while the suites are available as an option starting at 800 euros.

Air France will unveil a redesigned La Première cabin during the winter 2024-2025 season. This new cabin will feature the longest configuration on the market, offering five windows and up to three private living spaces: a seat, a chaise lounge, and a flat bed. La Première suites are currently available on select 777-300ERs flying to destinations such as Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda, and Washington.
