Air France Introduces New Business-Class Seats—Win a Free Ticket!

Air France sets the standard for business class travel, offering exquisite French cuisine from the moment you enter its lounges, featuring delightful macarons, croque madames, and classic cocktails like the Kir Royal. With amenity kits by the renowned French brand Clarins and exceptional service, flying with them feels like a taste of la vie française. This summer, they began unveiling refreshed business-class cabins, starting with routes from Paris to New York City. Now, they're giving travelers the opportunity to win a pair of tickets to experience this luxury firsthand.

Discover the Latest in Air France’s Business-Class Cabin

The latest business-class cabin from Air France includes 48 pod-style seats, each converting into a spacious 6.5-foot fully flat bed. While they maintain similarities to earlier models, the updated design boasts sliding doors for enhanced privacy, Bluetooth connectivity for headphones to the TV, and ottomans in the bulkhead seats instead of traditional footwells.

These upgraded seats are currently offered on flights from Charles de Gaulle in Paris (CDG) to John F. Kennedy in New York City (JFK), with plans for further expansion to additional routes in the coming year. CEO Anne Rigail has also revealed plans to enhance the La Première (first class) service next.

Join the celebration of 90 years with a cocktail party and an exciting giveaway!

This year marks a significant milestone for the French airline, celebrating its 90th anniversary on October 7, 2023. To commemorate, Air France has launched a stunning window display at Paris's Galeries Lafayette, showcasing memorabilia from its long-standing history, available for viewing until October 10.

For those not currently in Paris, Air France is offering a chance to win a pair of round-trip, business-class tickets to the city of romance. To participate, simply purchase its exclusive French 75-inspired cocktail kit, which comes with all the ingredients to create the 'French 90' cocktail:

• A 750 ml bottle of Citadelle Gin from France
• A 375 ml bottle of champagne
• A 4-oz. bottle of strawberry lavender syrup
• 4 lemons (no joke!)

Included are detailed instructions on how to enter the contest. The grand prize not only features flights but also a delightful lunch and a private spirits tasting with the master distiller from Citadelle, hosted on the Barge 166, a floating cellar on the Seine.

Even if you don't win, the kit offers a $90 voucher for a future Air France purchase, nearly covering the kit's price.

The kit retails for $95 (plus tax and shipping) and is available for order from October 2 to November 2 at cocktailcourier.com. Purchasers can enter the contest running from October 7 to November 10.
