Frédéric Gagey, Chairman and CEO of Air France said at the time: “With our new La Première suites, we intend to offer the best on the market and this is what we are highlighting today. By choosing to fly to Southeast Asia, we also intend to reaffirm just how important this part of the world is to us, especially to attract and retain our Premium customers."
La Première cabins offer total privacy, with thick curtains held back with leather tiebacks. Each cabin contains four suites, with ample storage areas and enough space to entertain a guest. A La Première passenger has a personal 24" HD touch screen, one of the largest ever seen on board, offering a totally new intuitive navigation experience inspired by the iPad and available in 12 languages. Close to 1,000 hours of programmes on demand will soon be available.
The La Première seat unfolds into a fully-flat bed over two metres long. The armrests are fully retractable. When the passenger is ready to go to sleep, the crew members install a mattress on the seat, add a pillow and a Sofitel MyBed duvet.
Guests have already been enjoying these new cabins on certain flights to Jakarta and Singapore since September 2014. In 2015, the new La Première suites will be available on flights to New York, Dubai, Libreville and Yaoundé. In addition to these “designer” suites, Air France customers can also enjoy the new Business cabin, and the new Premium Economy cabins, with 40% more space than Economy.
