How to Apply an Air France Promo Code:
Air France doesn’t make it quite as easy as Emirates or Etihad, who put to promo code box right on the front page before you search. However, they do offer them and you can use a discount code or promo code to save some money on your next flight.
After you have selected your flights and are on the “check out” page, enter your discount code in the box identified as “Discount Code / Discount Voucher”. By default this box will be hidden so you will have to select “show details” to reveal the box.
After you have revealed the box, enter you Air France Promo Code or Discount Code in the box and the appropriate discount will be applied when you finish your check out process.
Seating & Cabin Classes
There are four primary classes of flight service: Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First (also know as La Première Class)
Main Cabin and Economy Class
Air France has upgraded the majority of their international cabins in all classes of service. The economy class has new seats (navy blue leather with red embroidery) and much better technology than in the past. Each row has electrical outlets and a USB port located under your screen so you can stay connected and powered up. Additionally, you will find a high-definition touch screen entertainment system, available in 12 languages with new movies available every month.

Premium Economy Cabin
Air France has a great premium economy class (currently Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights) with a totally separate cabin for premium economy passengers. It is close to a U.S. based carriers business class offering, with a deeper reclining seat, fiber optic reading light and noise reduction headsets.

Business Class Cabin
The business class comes with a “lie flat” bed, direct aisle access for every seat, storage space for electronics, and in flight entertainment. As far as dining goes, those departing from the US or Canada will have a menu created by Daniel Boulud, the renowned Michelin-starred French chef, and a variety of wines from every region of France.

First Class Cabin “La Première Class”
I love the design of the new cabins throughout the plane, but they really nailed it with sophisticated, tailored look of the La Premiere Class Suites. While not as over the top as an Etihad Apartment or Residence, they are definitely an ultra-luxury experience.
The experience includes a chauffeured luxury car ride to and from the airport, access to the La Première lounge and then one of 4 private suites in the La Première cabin, on most of their Boeing 777-300 flights. The menu is crafted by one of several premier french chefs accompanied by an extensive french wine list.
