The La Première cabin: spacious and private
The A380’s La Première cabin is the most spacious of the entire Air France fleet. With just nine seats, no details have been overlooked in this cabin.
• A new changing cabin
At the front of the La Première cabin, passengers can use the new private changing cabin to change into their lounging suit before sleeping, or to get ready before arrival.
In this new area, which has natural light streaming through the window, there is a dressing table opposite two built-in shelves containing top-of-the-range Clarins beauty products, ensuring optimum well-being both during and after the flight.
Opposite this area there is a wardrobe offering La Première passengers a complementary exclusive service: cabin crew give each passenger a clothes bag in which to put all their personal belongings.
• A new improved seat
New improvements have been made to the La Première seat, with easier movement enabling passengers to find their ideal position and a new innovative handset.
The seat covers, made from "Climatex" fabric, provide optimum comfort thanks to the special fabric, superior to all conventional fabrics with the capacity to absorb and release water vapour. Its manufacturing process is environmentally friendly, using renewable materials such as wool and beech tree cellulose.
• An exclusive bar for La Première passengers
A bar with magazines and a buffet enables passengers to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat, relax and talk, out of earshot of the other passengers in the cabin.
La Première passengers will be the only passengers allowed to use the wide staircase with 14 steps during the flight to access the gallery on the upper deck.
The Affaires cabin: calm and relaxation
Air France’s Affaires cabin is situated on the upper deck of the A380, providing a calm atmosphere for passengers, ideal for working or relaxing.
• Well-being and comfort in a quiet atmosphere
On the upper deck, the Affaires cabin is fitted with 6 seats across – two on each side of the cabin and two in the centre – providing optimum space and comfort.
In this way, each passenger has either an aisle seat or a window seat, where there are additional side storage compartments for passengers’ personal belongings.
The A380’s spacious cabin enables Air France to offer an improved seat the Affaires cabin. Two metres long, the seat has a more comfortable seat recline for take-off and landing.
Each seat has a socket for recharging laptops and a 15-inch video screen (38 centimetres), the biggest in the Air France fleet.
• The gallery, the Air France touch dedicated to learning and culture
Air France is the first airline to offer the gallery concept, thanks to its partnerships with major museums worldwide and other artistic institutions. This type of open-plan area is the most spacious offered by any airline.
On the upper deck, La Première and Affaires passengers can enjoy an exhibition specially created for Air France, exclusively presented in an area dedicated to learning and culture - the gallery - on three 38-cm screens integrated into the area.
A new exhibition theme will be introduced regularly by a different museum.
In November 2009, the Louvre museum, the first to partner Air France in this project, is offering the theme of "Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese…Rivals in Renaissance Venice", an exhibition which the museum is hosting in its Napoléon Hall up to 4 January 2010.
The Voyageur cabin: additional comfort on both decks
On the A380, the Voyageur cabin is situated on both the main and upper decks and boasts exclusive new features. Of all Air France’s Voyageur cabins, the A380 has the most comfortable.
• Additional space and comfort
The seat is the widest in the Air France fleet, with armrests which are 30% wider, providing each passenger with more independence.
They also enjoy more space, as Air France is the first airline to integrate the video controls into the seat, instead of having them in front of passengers’ legs.
Each seat has a large 8.4-inch individual video screen, providing unrivalled quality of viewing and a conveniently situated headphone socket. Passengers can also recharge their laptop batteries in sockets located around the cabin.
• New exclusive features: bars on both the main and upper deck
Three modern, spacious bars, two on the main deck and one on the upper deck, offer refreshments throughout the flight and the opportunity for passengers to meet and relax. This enables each passenger to take the time to really enjoy their flight.
