Air France has introduced a brand-new business-class cabin with 48 seats for its Boeing 777-300s that provides all-aisle access, privacy doors, wireless charging and 6ft 5in lie-flat beds.
Plus, the brand new turn-left offering has seats within the centre of the cabin equipped with a central panel that might be lowered to create a ‘convivial space’ for passengers travelling together.
Also of note is a 17.3-inch 4K high-definition anti-glare screen that passengers can enjoy using a noise-reducing headset. If they create their very own headphones they’ll connect with the system using Bluetooth or a socket.
The seats are finished in wool, brushed aluminium and full-grain French leather.
The premium economy cabin, with 48 seats, can also be recent to the 777, but not Air France – it’s the identical set-up that the carrier uses on its Airbus A350.

Here each seat offers 96cm of legroom, reclines to 124 degrees, has USB A and C ports and a 13.3-inch 4K high-definition screen with Bluetooth connection.
The economy cabin, meanwhile, has 273 seats that, impressively, share the identical 13.3-inch screen present in premium economy, but legroom is 79cm and recline 119 degrees.
Air France identified that as customers board the aircraft they’re greeted by a backlit winged seahorse, ’embodying the corporate’s founding myth and wealthy history’.
The primary Boeing 777 fitted with the brand new cabins flew from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Recent York-JFK on January 20, with Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Dakar in Senegal also now served by the revamped plane.

The Points Guy UK was given a tour of the brand new cabin before it entered service and commented: ‘As a substitute of reinventing the wheel with its recent business-class product, Air France took an already solid product and added more modern touches’

The Points Guy UK was given a tour of the brand new cabin before it entered service and commented: ‘As a substitute of reinventing the wheel with its recent business-class product, Air France took an already solid product and added more modern touches — together with some beautiful dashes of color.
‘Things like wireless charging, 4K monitors and doors on the seat make this a desirable and competitive product. And, everyone on the plane will profit from a few of these enhancements — at the least with the monitors and Bluetooth audio pairing system.’
Air France said: ‘Because of this recent major step in Air France’s move upmarket, all the company’s long-haul business cabins shall be equipped with seats that transform into full-flat beds by the tip of 2023, in comparison with 90 per cent today. By this date, your complete fleet can even be equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi, in comparison with 97 per cent today.’
