Air France La Première from the JFK side: the Terminal 1 lounge inside the Air France/KLM facility, the 2024-2026 suite rollout to North American sectors, AF6 in 1A, and what the eastbound passenger actually gets that the westbound passenger does not.
We worked through Air France-KLM Flying Blue in 2026 — dynamic pricing, the Promo Awards cadence, the XP ladder to Ultimate, the Saudia partnership, and the six US transferable currencies that all sit at 1:1. From our own balance, no comped points.
Air France's new La Première suite — unveiled in 2023 and rolling out across the 777-300ER fleet through 2026 — is the most ambitious Western first class product since Lufthansa Allegris. A single private suite per aircraft side, a separate seat and bed, a personal wardrobe, two doors, a 32-inch 4K screen, Krug, three-Michelin-star catering, and the Mercedes chauffeur at CDG. We assess where it sits against Lufthansa, Emirates, Singapore, ANA, and JAL.
Three visits to the Air France La Première salon at Paris CDG Terminal 2E in late 2025 and the first weeks of 2026 — the chauffeur, the Ducasse kitchen, the Biologique Recherche spa, the Cellier, and the Porsche tarmac transfer before the February 2 renovation begins.
