This summer, Air France has rolled out a range of new services on the ground, on board and online, all designed to enhance the customer travel experience:
Express channels: With the new Air France Express Channel introduced across 12 airports in France, passengers will be able to print their own baggage labels at self-service kiosks and go directly to the dedicated “Express” baggage drop-off area without queuing at check-in counters.
Baggage collection and delivery: Brits arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle for a holiday in the capital are now able to have their bags delivered to an address in or around Paris. New VIP services on offer include chauffeur-driven transfers between the airport and downtown Paris, or the use of a hotel room for a few hours to relax. Services are available from €200 for up to four people, and earn customers 400 Flying Blue Award Miles.
A la Carte dining: Long-haul passengers in Voyageur and Premium Voyageur cabins can now pre-order a range of five A la Carte menus as an alternative to the menu of the day. Choose between a traditional French meal, fresh seafood, healthy organic, Italian or a special dish designed by the famous Lenôtre culinary institute. New menus can be ordered online for most long-haul flights departing from Paris, with prices from as little as €12. Guy Martin signature dishes and a full sleep seat in Business class
Until January 2013, business class travellers on all long-haul flights from Paris CDG can enjoy signature dishes created by Guy Martin, Michelin-starred chef at Grand Véfour restaurant. After savouring the new dishes, passengers can enjoy the longer, wider and more spacious full sleep seats, available on over half of the long-haul fleet serving over 50 destinations.
A refined menu in Premium Voyageur: Passengers can enjoy a refined menu specially created by Michel Nugues, a member of the “Toques du ciel” airline cuisine group, comprising new entrées and delectable desserts.
New in-flight entertainment offer: Air France is improving its video-on-demand in-flight entertainment offer thanks to new navigation features and a new more intuitive presentation of the cinema and TV sections.
