Air France Business Class Review
Like all things Gallic, beauty is in the details - and Air France sees its business class product as an extension of all things luxury. Elegant staff uniforms, MasterChef-inspired menus, gourmet cheeses, delectable desserts and elegant lounges combine to create an upscale Business Class experience.

Although not as flashy as some of its competitors, Air France business class offering is elegant and comfortable. Along with the introduction of new aircraft, they are also being modernized. The airline, along with sister airline KLM, is the fifth largest airline in the world and a founding member of the SkyTeam alliance.

Its Flying Blue loyalty program includes other airlines including KLM and Kenya Airways, which also use Flying Blue. Members can earn and redeem frequent flyer miles when flying with Air France or any of its SkyTeam partners, including Air France, Delta Air Lines, or Aeromexico in North America, or China Airlines or Garuda Indonesia in Asia, and Air Canada. Middle East or Saudi Arabian Airlines in the Middle East. East can do. This global alliance opens hundreds of destinations and lounges to passengers in cities where the airline does not fly.

Airport experience
With major long-haul hubs in Paris - Charles de Gaulle and Orly, Air France passengers start their journey there or transfer to another location. For those starting there, SkyPriority queues speed up the check-in process, and Air France Business Class passengers have access to dedicated fast-track lines for security and immigration.

Both centers teem with plentiful shopping and dining options, but discerning travelers should head straight to Salon Air France, there are several depending on your departure terminal. Inside, there are self-serve bars with wine, beer and spirits, and some lounges carry the famous Champagne brand, including Laurent Perrier's. French delights include croissants, pain au chocolat in the morning, espresso drinks, hot cappuccinos, and a selection of freshly baked breads, cheeses and meats. Salads, soups and sandwiches are served later in the day. The bakery and cheese selection is open and available all day.

Fridges stocked with soft drinks, juices, Perrier and Evian waters are a nice touch, and there is a large selection of magazines and newspapers.

The lounge features a service desk to assist with obtaining tickets and work stations with free Wi-Fi. Many lounges have walk-in showers for those wanting to cool off between long flights.

Passengers with SkyTeam Elite Plus status on any SkyTeam airline can access the lounge on international itineraries in any cabin, although Air France business class passengers can access regardless of status.

In some lounges on the non-Schengen side of Charles de Gaulle, travelers can enjoy a complimentary 15-minute treatment at Clarins Spa. Available on a first come, first served basis, this includes massages and facials by trained estheticians. Air France 2E, Hall L Lounge also includes a sauna.

Air France has salons in many airports around the world including Bangkok, Frankfurt, Houston, New York JFK, San Francisco and Washington Dulles.

In cities without an Air France business class lounge, passengers are happy to use third-party facilities - often the lounges of SkyTeam partners - while they wait for their flight to depart.
