Air France has unveiled its long-awaited brand-new first class suites to be fitted on its long-haul Boeing 777 fleet. The airline hopes to deploy the new product on services to a select few long-haul destinations over the next few weeks, beginning with New York JFK Airport. The new product reflects a fairly significant upgrade to the carrier’s first-class offering, incorporating “French elegance and art de vivre [the art of living].”

Air France’s first class product is known as La Première, French for “the first”. The new suite comes with a fully adaptable design, including a seat and a chaise longue that transforms into a two-meter fully lie-flat bed. The bed is 75 centimeters wide.

Air France says that the seat took three years of development. It is the longest first class seat on offer, spanning five windows with an area of 3.5 square meters. This represents a 25% increase in space compared to the airline’s current La Première. Air France’s CEO, Anne Rigail, said:

“In just a few minutes, what began as an idea, then sketches and 3D models, came to life. It''s the culmination of three years of work to reinvent our offering, both on the ground and on board. ”

Each aircraft to be retrofitted will feature four of the suites.

Key features of the new suite include advanced technology with two 4K screens and a mobile tablet to control the suite settings such as window shades and recline. Wireless charging is available through electric outlets and USB ports. Charging stations with dedicated holders for phones and tablets are also part of the design.

Free WiFi connectivity will be improved by summer 2025 as ultra-high-speed connectivity is rolled out across its entire fleet. WiFi will be offered free-–of-charge for loyalty program members (Flying Blue) and La Première customers.

Privacy extends not only to individual seats but also to two adjoining seats in the middle cabin which allow “for shared travel while maintaining privacy thanks to a full-height electric sliding partition” that is button-activated.

Michelin three-star cuisine will be offered by chefs onboard providing personalized gourmet meals.

The color scheme aims for harmony based on shades of gray complementing leather finishes and fabrics adorning each suite while lighter colors contrast with opaque drops red featuring items such as blankets menus adding character distinction reminiscent haute couture according airline
