Air France is expanding its Asian network.
Beginning December 7, 2024, Air France will link Manila (Philippines) to its global hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. The airline will operate three direct flights a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Air France’s Paris-Manila flight will operate on Airbus A350-900, offering 34 seats in the Business cabin, 24 seats in Premium Economy, and 266 in Economy.
Flight times (in local time):

AF209: Leaving Manila at 9:50 pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, arriving at Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 5:50 am the next day.
This flight schedule remains subject to government approval.
Manila is also a KLM destination with four flights a week from Amsterdam Schiphol airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. By coordinating their respective flight schedules, Air France and KLM ensure a combined daily service to Manila.
The vibrant capital of the Philippines offers a blend of tradition and modernity. New skyscrapers rise above colonial-era structures such as Fort Santiago and San Agustin Church. This cultural melting pot has produced a unique culinary tradition. The Philippines' archipelago of over 7,000 islands also features turquoise lagoons, limestone cliffs, white sand beaches, and emerald rice terraces.
In addition to Manila this winter season Air France will serve other Asian destinations including Tokyo Haneda (up to fifteen flights a week), Osaka (up to three flights a week), Beijing (up to seven flights a week), Shanghai (up to seven flights a week), Hong Kong (up to seven flights a week), Seoul (up to seven flights a week), Bangkok (up to thirteen flights a week), Singapore (up to ten flights a week), and Ho Chi Minh City (three flights a week).
The introduction of Manila marks Air France’s fifth new route for the winter 2024-2025 season. During this period the airline will inaugurate new routes to Salvador de Bahia in Brazil with three weekly flights starting October 28; Kilimanjaro in Tanzania with three weekly flights from November 18 as an extension from Zanzibar; Malé in Maldives with up to two weekly flights from December 20; and Kiruna in Sweden with one weekly flight from December 21.
