For the 44th consecutive year, Air France is partner and official carrier of the Cannes Film Festival, the 77th edition of which is taking place from 14 to 25 May 2024. For the entire duration of the festival, the airline is for the first time opening a beach for everyone, the new place to be on the Croisette in Cannes.
Next to the Hôtel Martinez beach, the Air France beach features a bar and a restaurant with a menu created by Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert, showcasing the fine French dining experience that the airline promotes with the Air France travel experience. Sunbeds are also available to relax in an exclusive area of the beach.
Highlighting French elegance, the Air France beach features the colours of the "beach" collection available on Air France Shopping, the airline's online sales website offering a wide range of suitcases and travel accessories.
With this new beach in the heart of Cannes, Air France is offering a unique experience for everyone to enjoy during the Cannes Film Festival.

Special flights from Hollywood to the French Riviera
On 13 and 27 May 2024, Air France is operating two special flights providing a direct service between Los Angeles (United States) and Nice (France). These flights are in response to strong demand from customers on the American West Coast who want to enjoy the French Riviera and the Festival, as well as the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. These flights are operated by Airbus A350 equipped with the airline's latest cabins.
Air France loves cinema
Air France has always cultivated strong ties with cinema, a source of dreams, just like air travel. Throughout its history, Air France has transported film crews, assisted with productions and of course continues to show films on board. Ever since its first movie shown – An American in Paris – on board a Constellation flying from New York to Paris in 1951, cinema has been part of Air France’s DNA, and is now a key part of the travel experience. In all its long-haul cabins, Air France promotes cinema all year round on its latest-generation HD individual screens. The company offers 1,500 hours of in-flight entertainment including a wide selection of French films and movies that have won awards at previous editions of the Cannes Film Festival. Its carefully selected offer is adapted to the tastes and cultures of all its customers and this vast selection of films is enhanced by feature films broadcast in their original version. The entertainment offer also includes series, podcasts and content adapted for younger travellers. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
