Air France Business Class Review 2026 — A350 & B777 with La Première Lounge

Air France brings Parisian elegance to business class. We review the A350 seat, the acclaimed dining, and the stunning La Première lounge at CDG Terminal 2E.

Air France business class: French elegance in the sky

Air France business class is a beautifully curated experience that reflects French art de vivre. The A350-900 features a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone configuration with fully flat 76-inch beds, and the cabin design — by French interior designer Jouin Manku — is sleek and modern with soft lighting and premium materials.

The dining is where Air France truly excels. The multi-course meal service features dishes created by Michelin-starred chefs, and the wine list is curated by Paolo Basso, the world's best sommelier. Champagne is Pommery on most flights, with Grand Cru options on select routes. We rate Air France business class 9.0/10.

The La Première Lounge at Paris CDG

Business class passengers departing Paris CDG Terminal 2E have access to the Air France Business Lounge, which features French cuisine, a Champagne bar, and shower suites. The real star, however, is the La Première Lounge — technically for first class passengers but sometimes accessible to high-tier Flying Blue members.

The La Première Lounge offers à la carte dining by Alain Ducasse, a spa by Biologique Recherche, and a Champagne bar with Krug. It is one of the finest airport lounges in the world.
