Air France has elevated its domestic travel offering by rolling out a full-fledged Business Class service on flights departing from Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, and leading regional hubs throughout France. This premium experience now also extends to short-haul flights connecting French cities with international destinations.

 

This strategic enhancement allows travelers with domestic connections—whether their journey is long, medium, or short-haul—to enjoy an uninterrupted Business Class journey, maintaining a consistent level of comfort and service at every stage, all at no additional charge beyond their original fare.

For those flying within France, three distinct fare options are available:

  • Business Leisure
  • : non-refundable, but changes are permitted for a €70 fee;
  • Business Flex
  • : fully refundable and changeable without penalty;
  • Business Abonné
  • : fully refundable, flexible with unlimited free changes, plus the freedom to hop onto earlier or later flights as needed.

Each fare class features a single fixed price and transparent conditions. Additionally, passengers may upgrade from Economy to Business Class at check-in, starting 30 hours ahead of departure, subject to availability.

Business Class guests benefit from a suite of exclusive SkyPriority services at participating airports, including:

  • Priority check-in and baggage drop-off counters
  • Expedited security and passport control lanes
  • Exclusive boarding privileges
  • Accelerated service at transfer desks for connecting flights

Partner lounge access is provided at Paris-Orly (Terminal 1A), Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Montpellier, and Mulhouse.

Onboard, domestic Business Class travelers are treated to a bespoke catering experience, featuring:
