Fliers at one of New York City’s three major airports will be treated to an ultra-luxury experience at 30,000 feet early next year.
Air France has announced it will add planes fitted with its swanky La Premiere first-class cabin to Paris-bound flights from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
La Premiere service will begin operating on the airline’s existing daily route from Newark to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) on February 1, 2027.
The addition of the first-class cabin to Newark means that passengers can access La Premiere flights from both of Air France’s New York gateways. (The carrier also operates out of New York JFK.)
Air France’s recently revamped first-class cabin is renowned for being one of the most lavish experiences in the sky. The exclusive cabin comprises just four spacious suites, each spanning the length of five windows and featuring floor-to-ceiling privacy curtains.
Earlier this year, La Premiere was named the World's Best First Class by Skytrax.
In addition to the onboard opulence, travelers in La Premiere also receive exclusive benefits on the ground, including a private check-in and security screening areas, access to private airport lounge suites, and a chauffeured ride directly to the plane on the tarmac.
This winter, nine U.S. airports will offer La Premiere service to Paris. In addition to the two New York-area airports, fliers can find the new cabin class flying out of Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Houston (IAH), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), San Francisco (SFO), and Washington, D.C. (IAD).
