La Première Air France

The La Première travel experience was born in the early days of commercial civil aviation. On board aircraft of still relative comfort, an exclusive service was already taking shape. These first flights were a genuine adventure for a privileged few. Passengers at the time were rare witnesses to an era that revolutionized air travel.

From its very beginnings in 1933, Air France was a pioneer, a laboratory of bold technological innovations driven by visionaries. Inspired by ocean liner cruises and the sleeping compartments on trains, Air France’s in-flight service sought a certain refinement to set its routes apart. As aircraft flew increasingly longer distances, the service on board continued to develop. On board the Dewoitine, the jewel of the pre-war fleet, the wicker chairs of the early days gave way to the first seats secured to the floor. The on-board experience further evolved, and the latest innovations were integrated to welcome prestigious and demanding customers, offering them an already unique level of comfort.

In 1976, the launch of the Concorde marked a major turning point in the history of civil aviation. Its supersonic speed, exterior design and elegant cabins made it an absolute symbol of modernity and elegance. More than just an aircraft, the Concorde was a technological and architectural adventure. On board, the luxury service and narrow cabin layout recalled an ultramodern version of the golden age of prestige aviation.

In 2025, Air France unveiled a fully redesigned La Première travel experience, both on the ground and on board. The new cabin suite, with its five windows, featured an entirely new modular concept, with a seat and a chaise longue that can be converted into a real bed. La Première, the highest expression of travel.

Reflecting French elegance and lifestyle, La Première embodies Air France’s spirit of excellence. On the ground and in the air, every detail is carefully crafted to create unique and personalized moments. These exceptional experiences are guided by La Première staff , who ensure a signature service that is as discreet as it is attentive.

In March 2025, Air France unveiled a fully reimagined travel experience, marking a major milestone in the airline’s continuous pursuit of excellence. With a seamless and private airport journey and an exclusive new suite onboard, Air France aims to off er its customers the highest level of service worldwide.

Air France became a Comité Colbert member in 1990.
