Air France’s premium first class service, “La Premiere,” consistently ranks among the world’s finest. The airline is currently upgrading its fleet with a new first class suite, significantly enhancing the passenger experience. This guide details which flights currently feature the new cabins, and what routes are scheduled for upgrades.
Current La Premiere Routes
Air France operates its first class cabins exclusively on a subset of its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, configured with four cabin classes. As of now, La Premiere is available on select flights between Paris (CDG) and the following destinations:
- Abidjan (ABJ)
- Dubai (DXB)
- Los Angeles (LAX)
- Miami (MIA)
- New York (JFK)
- San Francisco (SFO)
- São Paulo (GRU)
- Singapore (SIN)
- Tel Aviv (TLV)
- Tokyo (HND)
- Washington (IAD)
The airline is expanding the La Premiere network; future routes scheduled to receive the upgrade include Atlanta (ATL) in March 2026, Boston (BOS) in July 2026, and Houston (IAH) in July 2026. Previously, first class service was also offered to destinations like Beirut, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, and Mexico City, though their return is unconfirmed.
Identifying Flights with the New First Class
Air France plans to fully retrofit its entire fleet of 777-300ERs with the new first class suites by the end of 2026. Currently, the updated cabins can be found on aircraft registration codes: F-GSQC, F-GSQE, F-GSQF, F-GSQK, F-GZND, F-GZNE, F-GZNK, F-GZNP, and F-GZNQ.
To confirm if your flight features the new La Premiere suite, check the Air France website during booking. The site displays a message indicating “Aircraft equipped with the new La Premiere suite.” Additionally, the seat map will show the new layout with both a seat and chaise longue. First class seating numbers for the new configuration are 1A, 1D, 1H, and 1L, compared to 1A, 1E, 1F, and 1L in the older cabins.
Broader Fleet Upgrades
The cabin upgrades aren’t limited to first class passengers. Air France is also overhauling the business class cabins on these 777-300ERs, adding fully enclosed suites with doors. The combined upgrade makes these aircraft highly desirable, even for passengers traveling in lower classes.
Conclusion
Air France’s La Premiere first class remains an exclusive offering on select Boeing 777-300ER flights out of Paris. The airline is actively upgrading its fleet, with the new suites now available on routes to Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Singapore, and Tokyo. The ongoing retrofits also improve the business class experience, making these aircraft a top choice for discerning travelers.
