Air France has announced that customers flying between HCM City and Paris-Charles de Gaulle can enjoy its latest long-haul travel cabins.

Its three weekly flights, operated using Boeing B777-200 aircraft, will have 28 seats in the business cabin, 24 fully redesigned seats in the premium economy cabin and 260 seats in the economy cabin.

Delphine Buglio, country manager for Air France KLM Vietnam, said: “We are delighted to give our regular and new customers in Việt Nam the opportunity to travel this summer in the comfortable new Air France cabins, including the latest full-flat business class seat which is designed to offer our passengers optimum comfort, space and privacy.”

The new cabins will be offered between HCM City and Paris during the peak summer period from May 30 to September 3.

In the business cabin, the seat adapts to the shape of each individual, from a seating position to a real two-metre bed.

Each passenger also has a 16-inch (41 cm) HD touch screen.

Air France is the only European carrier with direct flights from HCM City and Ha Noi and Paris-Charles de Gaulle, and celebrated 87 years of flights between Vietnam and France last month.

It has six flights a week between Hanoi and Paris operated by code-share partner Vietnam Airlines. — VNS
