Air France has launched operations with its all-new La Première cabin on the route connecting Paris-Charles de Gaulle with San Francisco International Airport. This exclusive product, available on select Boeing 777-300 aircraft, is now offered daily on this transatlantic route.
During the summer season, Air France operates up to two daily flights to San Francisco. The second daily frequency is operated using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
Flight Schedule for New La Première Cabin
- Flight AF084: Departs Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 10:20 a.m. and lands in San Francisco at 12:50 p.m. the same day.
- Flight AF083: Departs San Francisco at 3:05 p.m. and lands in Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 10:55 a.m. the following day.
With the addition of San Francisco, the La Première cabin is now available to and from seven U.S. cities: Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. During this summer season, the new suites specifically operate on routes to Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, and San Francisco.
The airline projects the progressive installation of these suites across a larger fleet. By summer 2026, Air France expects to have 19 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with this product, serving 13 destinations from its hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
