Air France Expands La Première Offering Across New Long-Haul Routes
Air France announced that La Première will be introduced on services to Atlanta, Boston, Houston and Tel Aviv as part of its latest network update. These routes will be served daily on select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with Tel Aviv joining in December 2025 and the three U.S. cities following during 2026. The move is part of a broader effort to increase La Première availability on major long-haul departures from Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
The airline has released the following schedule for the new routes, maintaining one daily rotation on each:
- Atlanta – from 29 March 2026
- Boston – from 20 July 2026
- Houston – from 6 July 2026
- Tel Aviv – from 15 December 2025
Flights follow a pattern of daytime westbound services and overnight returns to Paris, strengthening coverage on key transatlantic and Middle Eastern corridors.
Air France notes that La Première will also be available this summer on flights to:
- Abidjan
- Dubai
- Los Angeles
- Miami
- New York-JFK
- San Francisco
- São Paulo
- Singapore
- Tel Aviv
- Tokyo-Haneda
- Washington, D.C.
By July 2026, all flights to New York-JFK and Los Angeles will feature the redesigned La Première suites, with the remainder of the network expected to receive the upgraded cabins before the end of 2026.
With these destinations gaining daily premium service, several well-known locations become easier to reach through Paris. Boston’s academic and cultural districts, Houston’s museum and theatre areas, Atlanta’s major arts venues, and Tel Aviv’s coastal attractions all benefit from steady long-haul links. The daily services give passengers more stable long-haul options when travelling through major cities such as Boston, Houston, Atlanta and Tel Aviv.
Air France’s decision marks a clear step in refining its premium long-haul strategy. As more aircraft are fitted with the redesigned suites, passengers connecting through Paris are likely to see greater consistency across long-distance routes and a wider choice of destinations offering the airline’s highest cabin standard. The full rollout planned for 2026 positions the carrier to strengthen its standing in markets where comfort, stability of schedule, and reliable long-haul connectivity remain key considerations.
