Discerning travelers seeking the pinnacle of luxury in air travel will find Air France's La Première experience at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport unmatched in 2025. As the city continues to captivate global attention following the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Air France has introduced a host of new bespoke amenities for its most exclusive guests, ensuring a seamless and discreet journey from arrival to boarding.
From the moment La Première passengers arrive at CDG, Air France curates a fully personalized, private airport experience. The airline now offers optional private suites within the terminal, complementing the renowned La Première lounge and providing an elevated level of seclusion and comfort.
With anticipation building for the unveiling of a next-generation La Première cabin later this year, Air France has already set a new benchmark for ground services, rolling out a refined and exclusive airport experience for its flagship clientele this summer.
Exclusive Private Check-in Sanctuary
Upon entering Paris-Charles de Gaulle, La Première travelers are welcomed by a personal Concierge, who manages their luggage and orchestrates every detail of their departure. This summer, guests are invited to a newly designed, ultra-private check-in salon, marking the start of their tailored airport journey. Here, a dedicated Air France team oversees all formalities—including check-in, security, and baggage handling—within an intimate space featuring 15 plush seats and two secluded lounges for added discretion. For those arriving in Paris, the salon offers tranquil relaxation areas, shower suites, and expedited baggage collection.
Bathed in daylight and adorned in a sophisticated palette of white, grey, and signature red, the check-in area is furnished with iconic pieces by celebrated French designers Pierre Paulin and Christophe Pillet. Every stitch and detail echoes the haute couture tradition for which Air France is celebrated.
When formalities are complete, guests are escorted via a private passageway—complete with a dedicated security lane—directly to the La Première lounge. Along the route, elegant displays featuring the airline's legendary winged seahorse emblem immerse travelers in the brand's heritage.
La Première Lounge: A Sanctuary of French Elegance
Conceived by renowned architect Didier Lefort, the 1,000-square-meter (10,700-square-foot) La Première lounge is a tranquil oasis in the heart of the airport. Culinary artistry takes center stage, with a menu and curated wine list crafted by Alain Ducasse and his esteemed team. The lounge also boasts a world-class Sisley spa, providing rejuvenating treatments in a serene setting.
Private Suites: The New Gold Standard in Pre-Flight Luxury
For those seeking the utmost exclusivity, La Première guests may now reserve private suites adjacent to the lounge. Each of the three suites spans nearly 45 square meters (500 square feet), with two offering the option to interconnect for families or groups. A dedicated butler is on hand to guide guests through a suite of amenities, including a living room, a bedroom with a double bed, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a private terrace for outdoor relaxation.
While access to the La Première lounge remains a hallmark of the First Class experience, the new airport suites are available as a premium add-on—priced from €800 per stay, comparable to leading luxury hotels in Paris. This exclusive offering is designed for those who desire absolute privacy and personalized service ahead of their flight.
