In the spring of 2025, Air France will unveil its most refined and luxurious La Première experience to date, transforming long-haul travel into an art form. 

Featuring expansive private suites, exquisite craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology, this next-generation cabin will debut on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, elevating in-flight comfort to unprecedented heights.

The Suite: 3.5 Square Meters of Tailored Elegance

Each La Première suite offers an expansive 3.5 square meters of personal space, making it 25% larger than the current cabin. 

Designed for ultimate flexibility, the suite features a fully customizable configuration with three seating options:

  • An elegant seat with plush leather upholstery and ergonomic padding, adjustable for dining, relaxation, or working.

  • A chaise longue, perfect for reclining, reading, or enjoying entertainment.

  • A two-meter-long bed for uninterrupted rest, seamlessly formed by combining the seat and chaise longue into a flat sleeping surface.

For complete privacy, the suites are enclosed by floor-to-ceiling curtains, creating an intimate cocoon. 

Side suites offer an Air France-exclusive five-window layout, flooding the space with natural light, while center suites feature full-height, electric sliding partitions, ideal for traveling couples seeking both shared and private moments.

Exquisite Design & Craftsmanship

Crafted in France by STELIA Aerospace, the new La Première cabin showcases full-grain leather, plush wool, and bespoke fabrics, creating a refined yet inviting ambiance.

The color palette blends elegant grays with champagne-gold accents, while rich, dark carpeting enhances the sense of space and sophistication.

To maximize spaciousness, overhead compartments have been removed in favor of floor-level storage, including:

  • A large sliding drawer for two carry-on suitcases.

  • An additional drawer under the chaise longue for shoes or smaller items.

  • A personal wardrobe for hanging clothing.

  • A backlit compartment with a mirror for personal belongings.

Technology & Entertainment Redefined

Every La Première suite is equipped with:

  • Two 32-inch 4K screens, offering over 1,500 hours of entertainment, accessible from the seat, chaise longue, or bed.

  • Noise-canceling headphones and Bluetooth connectivity for personal audio devices.

  • Wireless charging stations, along with 110V/220V outlets, USB-A and USB-C ports for seamless device usage.

  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the flight, soon to be upgraded to an ultra-high-speed service.

Guests can intuitively control their suite via a wireless touchscreen tablet, adjusting seat settings, lighting, and window shades with a simple touch.
