Air France’s La Première cabin is one of the most exclusive in the world. It’s not widely open to award redemptions or upgrades and it includes access to Air France’s amazing ground services. Air France is significantly expanding access to its most prestigious cabin by adding four new destinations to its growing First Class network. Beginning in late 2025 and continuing through 2026, passengers traveling to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) will be able to experience the airline’s flagship product on select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft operating daily service.
The move marks one of the most notable expansions of La Première in recent years and offers premium travelers (especially those in the United States) greater opportunity to fly in this exceptional First Class cabin. Air France will gradually introduce La Première-equipped aircraft on the following routes:
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (daily flights begin on March 29th)
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) (daily flights begin on July 20th)
- Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) (daily flights begin on July 6th)
- Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) (these will be first with daily flights beginning on December 15th)
With this expansion, La Première will be available this summer on departure from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to a wide range of long-haul destinations, including Aéroport international Félix Houphouët-Boigny D’Abidjan (ABJ), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Dubai International Airport (DXB), Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Miami International Airport (MIA), New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), São Paulo/Guarulhos-Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU), Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV), Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND), and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
By July 2026, all Air France flights to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will offer the airline’s new La Première suites. By the end of 2026, the entire La Première network will feature these reimagined cabins, representing a top-to-bottom refresh of Air France’s most luxurious product.
Anthony’s Take: The addition of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), and Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is particularly significant for US.-based travelers. Until now, La Première service from the United States has largely centered on major coastal hubs. These three new gateways open the door for a broader audience to experience Air France’s ultra-premium cabin, known for its refined dining, personalized attention and elegant ground-to-air journey.
