Experience Luxury Travel with Air France La Premiere Service on its Bengaluru Route

As an ongoing effort to raise the standards in luxury travel, Air France introduces La Premiere - an exclusive and personalized first class service during the coming winter schedule.

Starting October 27, 2014, till March 2015, the first class service will be available on Bengaluru – Paris – Bengaluru route. The aircraft operating on this route is state of the art Boeing 777-200.

Additionally, with the help of the revised flight timings, Air France brings the west coast closer to Bengaluru, which means that this winter customers can enjoy the shortest flying hours to return back home for travel from San Francisco to Bengaluru.

The Air France first class journey begins on arrival at the airport, where the passengers are personally received and accompanied by an Air France staff member throughout the trip even during connections for an unperturbed journey. The on board experience begins with a warm welcome to the elegantly designed seats in subdued hues of pastel shades. Focusing on the comfort of each passenger, the four first class seats convert to a full bed that measure 2 m / 6.5 ft in length and 77 cm / 30 in width with complete privacy for an exceptional travel experience. In addition the passengers are given a gastronomic experience designed by Michelin starred French chefs - Joël Robuchon, Régis Marcon, Guy Martin, Anne-Sophie Pic and Michel Roth.

Passengers with connecting flights at Paris Charles-de-Gaulle airport can enjoy a peaceful and relaxing break at the La Première lounge and savour some of the best wines and cuisine selected specially for Air France by chef Alain Ducasse. The lounge is designed to provide independent and personal spaces, a luxurious bar, a SPA and a library stocked with wide selection of books and magazines.
