Great Direct Flight Options
If you choose to fly to Europe with Air France, you’ll have tons of options for direct flights. These great routes will cut down your trip time and also help you discover hidden gem destinations (without the hassle of connecting flights). Opting for an airline with such a wide network will help you spend less time traveling and more time enjoying Europe.
Notable Air France direct flights from the US to Europe include the flight from Houston to Paris and the flight from Los Angeles to Athens.
Eco-Friendly Airline
Concerned about the carbon footprint of a long-haul flight? Air France is actively involved in developing sustainable aviation fuels that will help reduce emissions from flights.
Even Air France’s onboard experience is more sustainable than other airlines’. Air France has significantly reduced the weight of their tableware and trays to help cut their CO2 emissions by one-third.
Discounts on Car Rentals, Hotels, and Activities
In addition to Air France’s low fares, you can save money on your trip by taking advantage of the airline’s special travel offers. Travelers can get up to 15 percent off Hertz car rentals, earn additional miles when booking hotels through Booking.com, and get offers on tours and activities through Viator.
New Seats in Business Class
Arrive in Europe refreshed when you travel in Air France’s business class. By 2023, business class cabins on all long-haul flights will feature the airline’s new seats. These luxurious seats lie fully flat, converting into a 6’5 bed that will accommodate even the tallest travelers.
The new seats will also feature a sliding door for extra privacy, and offer each passenger private access to their row.
Explore Further With Train + Air Trips
Looking to get off-the-beaten path on your next European adventure? Air France makes it easy to explore with their unique train and air trips. The combination tickets include a complimentary taxi ride from the train station to the airport (and vice versa).
Air France also guarantees to get you on the next available train or flight in case the initial leg of your trip is delayed and you miss a connection.
