In April 2009, Air France started selling the
first tickets in the Premium Voyageur cabin on daily flights to
New York (first flight on 25 October) and Tokyo (first flight on
16 November).
Now, Air France customers can book seats in the
Premium Voyageur cabin on flights to Beirut and Singapore for
travel as from 28 December 2009 and to Beijing and Hong Kong as
from 18 January 2010.
Air France will also be offering a second daily
flight equipped with the Premium Voyageur cabin to New York (daily
departures from Paris at 8:25 am and 7:10 pm) starting on 8
December 2009 and Tokyo (daily departures from Paris at 1:30 pm
and 11:25 pm), starting on 7 December 2009.
The Premium
Voyageur cabin will gradually be extended to more flights and will
be available on the entire Air France international long-haul
network served by Boeing 777s, Airbus A340s and A330s by the end
of 2010.
The Premium Voyageur cabin offers its passengers with:
- 40% additional space compared with
economy class, with on average 22 Premium Voyageur seats available
over a surface area which used to occupy 40 economy seats
-
Greater personal space with a fixed-shell seat, which reclines to
123°. The 48 cm seat width, 10 cm leather armrests and 97 cm seat
pitch for extra legroom offers optimum comfort. Air France is the
first European airline to offer a fixed-shell seat in an
intermediary cabin.
- Competitive fares to all
destinations on offer. A full-fare ticket in the Premium
Voyageur cabin (which is modifiable and refundable) will earn
passengers 25% additional Flying Blue miles compared with a
full-fare ticket in the economy cabin.
